I ran them passed a decision group. I went to great effort to create a validated random group...and none of them showed up. So my random group was made up mostly of friends...however one is a Tory Parish council candidate in terms of balance. By the end his wife had decided to vote for me rather than his dReadwood.<br /><br />Thanks for the heads up about the cards. I'm documenting the failings in the process. One is the subsidised mailing of up to 3 personal letters for those who have the vested interests to invest in 85,000 mail merged documents x 3. I did 45000 households unnamed and likely to achieve less than 50% delivery, many after the postal vote. One of my policies is that state funded A5 candidate leaflets simply go out once with polling cards so voters can compare fairly all together. Simple, cheaper, fair...no party candidate will ever back it.<br />Kazek Lokuciewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286756340250663240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605929508751872019.post-84693163268263389222015-05-05T10:46:27.381-07:002015-05-05T10:46:27.381-07:00Hi Mike.

Just as if the land needs clearing or draining this is an additional cost which means the land is worth a bit less, why would the rail issue effect the contribution to infrastructure ? surely it just means those costs mean that the land is worth a little less because the costs are higher? Surely that's for the developers to agree with the landowners. If they had already agreed a price, they have to either re negotiate due to new info (as you might if the survey on a house found a problem), or pull out and let someone else negotiate a fair price. I can't see why local government who are short of cash as it is, should reduce the infrastructure charge.

As it turned out 20% of the electorate voted in in support of how the Tories are running things. I have no way of guessing what proportion of the 60% who did not vote were also happy, bit I'm guessing they simply think all politicians are a bunch of liars with self interest at heart too.<br /><br />I often run into people who express that they voted for the only person who could be bothered to turn up. My entire campaign is that the 'libellous' actions I express are risks that unnecessarily remain undiscoverable. Would you trust someone to not to have something in their hand when then they keep one hand behind their back at all times? Would you vote for them?<br /><br />Were I that kind of politician people hate, could I sign a contract in which my hands were held up supporting measures that allow other individuals to compete with me on the balance of their ideas, not the time / money their vested interests allow? Would I support measures that exposed the theatre that might be planning and scrutiny meetings? Would I support measures that meant that those same 'Good idea' candidates having an equal footing to me to my trusted peers may have the right to scrutinise the government contract that were previously reviewed by hand picked people?Kazek Lokuciewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286756340250663240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605929508751872019.post-68831290809231168032014-05-27T18:20:09.428-07:002014-05-27T18:20:09.428-07:00Or to put it another way, people vote for independ...Or to put it another way, people vote for independent candidates when they believe in the issues and have serious issues to fight for (think Martin Bell, Richard Taylor).

They spend 40+ more minutes a day with family, or those family members are more productive. There is less carbon. The running costs are fairly similar because it is per child.<br /><br />The cost of building a school I will give you that. However, we have been paying over the odds and taking two little. I have been fighting for higher s106 contributions since I found out in 2012 we had been charging £8k per dwelling. I gather now it is £26k. Property prices warranted £26k since 2005. A school should cost about £3m to build, so we will pay our mates £9m. We have allowed a lot more than 450 houses to be built since 2005.

I'm not a...That's National elections Andy.<br /><br />I'm not anti-capitalist and very pro-market forces. My problem is that I do really suspect vested interests and secrecy are writing the rules and manipulating markets. That is a cartel and not good for the consumer.<br /><br />For example, you vote for John Redwood, The man is a professional tax avoidance adviser, offshore wealth trustee and investor. It would seem fair that such a person should not be allowed to be influencing related policies and, if he were found to be involved in speculative investing it should be a criminal offence.<br /><br />Then we have David Cameron who was left part of a Bermuda based tax avoidance / evasion company, of which David is a director, which investments are not declared. Judging by his conduct the trust he has a vested interest in may well be investing tax Fracking if his cronies decide they are going to have to pull the plug on it or they will lose control, it would be in their best interests to do one last push, sell and then U-turn. There is no way of knowing . . therefore . . it will happen.<br /><br />In our own council we are in the same boat. Negotiations taken behind closed doors, with all those people able to scrutinised carefully selected by a few people who need to nothing to win the vote.<br /><br />I think people are not only waking up to it, they are fed up with it. All around the world and I have come up with a way that the simple fair and decent things that most members of the public can take control of the conversation on the doorstep and get those things implemented. <br /><br /><br /><br />I too am a conservative at heart. I just think that we have become so complacent that we have allowed corruption in.<br /><br />I'm a lucky one and can grow money at the expense of those less fortunate. We need to change those rules so that If you want to grow money you need to do something of value with it not manipulate the planning system into speculative land owning cartels are crony councillors and landlords or have your family sit on a property portfolio in perpetuity.<br /><br /><br /><br />There is indeed no magic money tree. The land speculators and developers 30% too much is ploughed straight onto the mortgages of those who move in.<br /><br /><br /><br />There is no way of bringing that 30% on the mortgage down without destabilising the banks. But we can use it to help the borrowers so that they, over time, will raise an educated family, not pay for nursery care, and have opportunities to do things of value in the community for a wage. In doing so we will also reduce land speculation, keeping property prices from going up and reducing the cost of green land people wish to invest in as green, carbon absorbing, land.Kazek Lokuciewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286756340250663240noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3605929508751872019.post-50470908275741228242014-03-01T09:58:43.622-08:002014-03-01T09:58:43.622-08:00Nope that's wrong- turnout in 2010 was 71.5%, ...Nope that's wrong- turnout in 2010 was 71.5%, see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/shared/election2010/results/constituency/f24.stm for more info. <br /><br />If living in an overwhelmingly conservative constituency distresses you that much, put your money where your mouth is and move somewhere Labour controlled.

They do not vote because Bob Wyatt's canvass letter talks about making sure that any developments do not make congestion any worse and are in keeping with the historic feel of the town, but makes no action to do so. <br /><br />10% of Wokingham vote for a Tory council because they have voted Tory at a national level for the last 40 years.<br /><br />The writing is on the wall but there is no point those people switching to support another team. They need to vote for honest people transparent people with ideas.<br /><br />That's why I'm mostly just promoting www.NoCheapPromises.org. There is no point discussing any of this when secretive liars who fought to become councillors happen to be presiding over about £1b worth of planning permission profits and negotiating for only £183m as there is simply to much profit to be made to stop crooks taking control.Kazek Lokuciewskihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13286756340250663240noreply@blogger.com
