LETTER TO THE EDITOR

Mr Editor:

WHAT CAN AN INDEPENDENT CANDIDATE DO WITH YOUR VOTE AFTER WINNING AN ELECTION?

1. Nothing.

2. Start a bidding war between parties.

3. After being elected, disregard the promise made to voters to seek their opinion on which way/direction to go.

4. Put a party or a group of people in power that you don’t want.

5. Sit on the opposition bench and talk – the words falling on deaf ears.

6. Become another nuisance as a replacement for a retiring one.

7. Cross the floor for personal gain.

8. Help to make laws that would be detrimental to you, the voter.

9. Become power hungry and all mighty – forgetting you the poor, hungry, lowly voter.

I beseech voters planning to vote for independent candidates to think again!

A caring Anguillian
