European Parliamentary election on 4 June 2009

Pada 4 Jun, 2009, merupakan pilihanraya parlimen Eropah. Aku dan isteri banyak menerima risalah-risalah dan kempen parti daripada pelbagai parti di UK ini, menerusi mail box di rumah. Aku dapati pelbagai kaedah digunakan. Semua pengundi bebas memilih siapa yang mereka inginkan.


Aku turut layak mengundi dan nama kami ada didaftarkan apabila bermastautin di sini secara automatik oleh Hull City Council. Antara syarat boleh mengundi ialah bekas rakyat negara 'British Commonwealth'.

Aku merasa tertarik, ada seorang calon daripada parti Lim Dems menghantar surat merayu pengundi, sedangkan zaman sekarang zaman siber. Beliau turut menyediakan ruang webnya iaitu http://www.denishealy.org.uk/ Beliau ialah calon dan Local Campaigner Lib Dems, Denis Healy.

Bersama-sama ini, aku sertakan suatu "surat kempen" berwarna biru, yang ditulis dengan tangan, tulisan rangkai, bersampulkan/envelope berwarna biru dan dicetak dan diposkan kepada pengundi. Walau bagaimanapun, aku terpaksa menaip semula untuk mudah membacanya.

Sila teliti pandangan beliau terhadap pilihanraya ini.

Dear Friend,

Do you-like me-feel that it’s time for a change? Gordon Brown has been a huge disappointment. He has let us down on the economy, the environment and an MPs expenses. After 12 years in powers, labour cannot blame anyone else for their mess any longer.

The MPs expenses scandal has left people feeling even more dismayed. Our labour MP Diana Johnson voted to allow Mps to claim expenses for furnishing their second homes-and now look at the mess. Enough is enough.

Things have got to change-but only a vote for the Liberal democrats will make that difference in Hull.

Elections in Hull are a clear choice between the Lim Dems and labour-with the Conservatives in a distant third place. Voting Conservative, or for a minor party, will let Labours weak a head and will just let Gordon Brown off the hook.

The Lib Dems are fighting for a better deal for Hull. They have cut back Labour’s planned Council tax rises to put more money in people’s pockets during this tough time. Everyone knows someone who has been helped by the Lib Dem Team.

Local Lib Dem MEP, Diana Wallis is part of that team. She works hard all year round for Hull. She fought for extra funding after the floods of 2007, and is calling for Humber Bridge Tolls to be scrapped. She is strong voice for Hull.

Together, we can send Gordon Brown a message on June 4^th. We can tell him it’s time for a change. Every Lib Dem vote is a vote for a better deal for Hull.

With Best Wishes

Denis Healy

P.s Staying at home will let Gordon Brown off the hook. Voting Conservative or for a minor party will just help labour is win again. Only a Lib Dem vote will send Gordon Brown a message he cannot ignore-please make your vote count on June 4^th.
