Time to decide

Well tomorrow will be interesting, an uncertain time for many who have said that having voted Labour all their lives they are considering voting our way. Difficult for people who have often been brought up being told that Labour is the party of working people.

There have been some really positive things that Labour administrations have pushed through or fought for in the past. Not these people, not this time, New Labour programme after programme has been spun for effect, but this government seems to care less and less about those that have been its traditional supporters.

Last week I heard something that people have been saying to me off and on over recent years, "my grandparents voted Labour, my parents voted Labour, I have always voted Labour, but none of them would recognise this lot". Time for a change then.

So here is the decision that needs making if you have traditionally voted labour but are seeing the damage that this government is doing to you and yours.

Will you vote Conservative and see what we can do? In this democratic process you have the control, you vote and watch for results, if you are not happy take your vote elsewhere next time. That keeps politicians on their toes. The traditional tribal vote is a cop out, let the democratic process work for you.

In these parts vote Mark Crowther for Pontefract South, Phil Thomas for Pontefract North, Richard Wakefield for Normanton, Gordon Tennant for Altofts and Whitwood, Mellissa Wan for Airedale and Ferry Fryston, Tom Dixon for Knottingley, Eamonn Mullins for Castleford Central and Glasshoughton and Richard Molloy for Ackworth.

Send a nice clear message and let us do a job of work for you.

Polls are open from 7am to 10pm, take your polling card or other id to the Polling Station.

And here is an election day message from David Cameron just for you.
