All about Richard

The Tories have hardly hassled me at all during this campaign (not like Lynne Featherstone, who sends me more post these days than all the local taxi and pizza firms put together).

But this week I received this confusingly folded (that's why some bits of it are upside down on the scan) leaflet from Richard Merrin, depicting him with an angelic glow. What's he got to say, then?

Firstly, I'm not sure his mantra of "Five more years of Gordon Brown or change with the Conservatives" really holds in this Lib/Lab marginal, but whatever.

I'm pleased to report that Richard has mostly got positive stuff to say, and he's devoted the whole back page of his little leaflet to "three positive reasons to vote for Richard Merrin". Good on you son.

There's a bit of Labour-bashing (they're "the party of unemployment", apparently - presumably not in their own words), but at least it's mostly in the context of saying what Merrin's been doing / plans to do about it.

Verdict

I have to say, I was expecting worse. Wonder how much more post the Tories will bother sending me.
