Allan Glass...The following letter was sent by Cllr. Allan Glass:<br />After the fiasco of the last election I felt I had to comment on the naivety of the campaign and disregard for anyone outside the M25. At CPF we have put forward as party members many ideas and commented upon ideas by Central Office to make the ideas firstly acceptable to PARTY MEMBERS and most of the people in the country. We need a good communicator who will both rebuff BBC questions from the left wing and let the electorate know that we are not voting for a President, we are voting for our local MP and Party. We need to listen to the PARTY MEMBERS not some paid nonentity adviser, who to keep a well paid job will say what you want them to. To create a live party we need to give the members the voice they join the party to use. We need to set a manifesto, cost it, and stick to it come hell or high water. Let the members who agree with Conservative principles vet ideas or come up with them. CPF is free to the party and has lots of fine minds considering the ideas. These ideas would give people a good reason to pay to join the party they follow. I think also we must realise that the UK expands past the ring of the M25. There is life out there.<br />Any good manager should use the available talent and give a reason for the workforce to want to do their job. I hope that we can learn, listen and win with a large majority next time, not kick own goals at election time.<br />Cllr Allan Glass<br />John Straffordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03842417812414755564noreply@blogger.com
