As a floating voter I see things in a very pragmatic way.
The new Government is almost certainly going to be Labour. In which case voting Conservative makes absolutely no sense. It will be like shooting oneself in the foot.
Island voices in Parliament
Our Island desperately needs a voice in Parliament. One that the Government will listen to.
We know that simply isn’t going to happen with Bob Seely, so in my view, voting for Bob is a complete waste of time.
Two Labour MPs would have to deliver
Whereas, a new Labour government would have to listen to Island MPs if the Island elects two Labour MPs, and those Labour MPs would have to deliver for the Island, because if they don’t, they know, and the Labour Party knows, that they will be booted out in five years’ time.
