Most pundits expect the General election in May 2010 on the same day as the Kingston council elections. In Kingston & Surbiton the vote will be very close, and both the Conservatives and Liberal Democrats will be pounding the streets canvasing for your vote. Most of us have local issues important to us. The candidates will make their usual promises, but once elected, well you know the story. It is my intention to meet these candidates and confront them. But, I shall not accept their verbal promises. If they want my vote then they put their signature on my form which will have my concerns.
