I'll vote for the one who most mirrors my own views and aspirations if possible. However what I object to is that the candidates have already been pre-selected and shortlisted by the party, and that I don't have enough information about the candidates to make a meaningful choice. 

 

It isn't the candidates causing the dangerous state of affairs directly, it's the electorate who feel disenfranchised because no one is listening to them. 

You know how the shortlists are selected right?  Your fault for not getting involved.  You obviously don't care enough to do something about it.

The fact that Anna is posting some very well researched information on here, that doubtless has taken a lot of time, indicates that she very much cares.

What very well researched information?

I'm obviously not talking about academic research Robin.

I'm not asking what you're not talking about, but what you are talking about. It's a genuine question. What research are you referring to?

So I'm talking about research in the normal everyday sense of the word i.e. finding out about things.

 

One example would be in her post #37 where she is talking about the Labour MPs who come from very ordinary backgrounds- some people wouldn't have been aware of this.

 

The key point I was making is that acquiring the knowledge takes a lot of time, as does writing well constructed posts, thus demonstrating, contrary to the claim of another poster, that she clearly does care.

All I can see from Anna is repeating some commonly known information about the backgrounds of the cabinet and opinions about how MPs are out of touch.

'Commonly known' doesn't mean everyone knows. I found the information useful.

That doesn't make it "well researched".

We'll disagree on that then. The main point I was making was that, contrary to the claim that she 'doesn't care', the fact that she put  lot of time into her posts on this matter, clearly indicate that she does care.
