Letter: If Labour is going to win – What’s the point of electing a Conservative MP?

It seems that many, many people far more switched on than me are saying that the country wants a change in Government.

Apparently the general mood in the country is that we’ve become weary with the Conservatives. They’ve had a good long chance to prove themselves and have shown themselves as wanting.

If Labour does get elected, what would be the point of the Island electing a Conseravtive MP?

Many that I speak to, even previously faithful Cons, feel that, even with his party in power, Bob Seely hasn’t delivered much for the Island.

If there’s a Labour government, he’ll be able to achieve even less, as he’ll be right at the end of the queue.

In short, to my mind, a vote for a Conservative candidate at this election is a wasted vote.

Vote for anything else – Vote Remain and at least let the country know how you feel.
