Counting chickens may be premature
8:00am Monday 15th March 2010 in
AS a resident of Mid Dorset and North Poole, I was very surprised to read the comments of Annette Brooke MP (Have Your Say, March 9).
She apparently considers her majority to be unassailable and her seat not to be marginal.
Her comment smacks to me of the arrogance shown by so many MPs over the past months who have almost uniformly treated their electorate with contempt.
Given the activity of Mrs Brooke’s opponents locally I would not consider this seat to be safe in any way.
I would warn her that this former Lib Dem voter is seriously considering voting Conservative to ensure that we end the reign of this useless and incompetent government and that we elect a proactive, local MP, able to influence the actions of an incoming administration.
