Vote for Policies not Personalities!

[KalamityKel]

According to Tessa Jowell, from her interview on BBC this evening, "people want representatives that they actually see not those that pop up at election time"

I kid not

Kel I also saw her, and heard her refuse to answer the question about whether hospitals will close or not.

She lost a LOT of kudos with that interview.

The interesting point is that some hospitals maybe can be closed (Dulwich?) because if each hospital concentrates on one or two problems, ie. Kings is a national expert on stroke, Guys on hearts etc etc then you get taken (by helicopter) to whichever hospital in London deals with your problem. It makes sense to me that all the experts on something are all at the same one or two hospitals.

But it can't be that simple, can it Tessa?

The other two on there were just as bad. What was that lib dem person rambling about? I couldn't understand a word!

[????]

You can vote for policies that a government don't then commit to because the personalities in them are a bunch of toerags surely? I think personality in the true sense of its meaning, say integrity, honesty, intelligence. etc is as important.
