<p>I wholeheartedly endorse David Schmitz's comments about the Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate Tammy Palmer and especially the point he has made about her actually being part of Tottenham.</p>

<p>I wholeheartedly endorse David Schmitz's comments about the Liberal Democrat parliamentary candidate Tammy Palmer and especially the point he has made about her actually being part of Tottenham.</p>
<p>Living amidst the constituents, breathing the same air, shopping in the same shops and going about daily life as a local resident, all of this forges a strong and meaningful connection with the local community. Decisions she will make as an MP will directly affect her own family, her neighbours, her street, local businesses, schools and services as well as herself personally so the incentive to 'get it right' from the get-go is obviously there. Far too many MPs represent constituencies they know little about, never mind having any empathy with people living in them and far too many would-be MPs are conspicuously absent when they are most needed - <a rel="nofollow noopener" href="https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2019/dec/07/uxbridge-election-campaign-johnson-tory-labour-challenge" target="_blank">as in this shining example!</a></p>
<p>Irrespective of the outcome of Thursday's general election at the national level, electing a Liberal Democrat MP for Tottenham will usher in a brighter future for all of us in this complex and challenging constituency.</p>

<p>On Thursday Tottenham people have a real choice to elect Tammy Palmer as their Libdem MP. Tammy has worked tireless for the people of Tottenham and that is the kind of MP we want and deserve.</p>
<p>David Lammy has been a poor constituency MP, always more concerned about whats going on nationally than spending time improving the lives of Tottenham residents.</p>

<p>The Labour party have had a stranglehold here for far too long. It leads to complacency and it means that Lammy doesnt have to do very much - that means that local don't people get the representation they deserve.</p>

<p>Whether David Lammy's activities elsewhere in the country are an aid or a hindrance to the fortunes of his party or to his own position within it are matters which I will leave to him and them.</p>
<p>What I can say is that I am proud to be the election agent for Tammy Palmer, the candidate for the Liberal Democrats, or "Liberal Democrats - Stop Brexit" to use the name under which she is appearing on the ballot paper.</p>

<p>What I can say is that I am proud to be the election agent for Tammy Palmer, the candidate for the Liberal Democrats, or "Liberal Democrats - Stop Brexit" to use the name under which she is appearing on the ballot paper.</p>
<p>In her energetic campaign - far better and more widely supported than the one that I ran in 2010 - she has displayed all of the skills which she has acquired in a senior position with a national charity and in her role as a Haringey Councillor.</p>
<p>She lives and is raising her family right in the middle of the Tottenham constituency and she has acquired a vast knowledge of the area and the communities within it at an astonishing speed.</p>
<p>A vote for her will be a vote for a Member of Parliament whose commitment to the area is absolute and who will represent it with competence and passion.</p>
<p>Our party holds 15 seats on Haringey Council - no other opposition party has any seats at all - and quite recently we held seats within Tottenham itself. </p>
<p>Nowhere in Haringey is the property of the Labour Party. The forthcoming election will give an opportunity to the people of Tottenham to demonstrate that fact.</p>

<p>There is a huge contrast in the engagement of the two main parties (Labour and the Liberal Democrats) with local residents here in the Harringay Ladder area. No-one I have spoken to has mentioned receiving any election communications or visits from Labour whereas the LibDems have made some considerable efforts to go out and 'meet & greet' the locals.</p>
<p>This smacks of smug complacency on the part of Labour, the same kind of complacency that cost us the result of the EU referendum.…</p>

<p>Skyscraper dwelling and upwardly mobile or not I doubt you’d choose Tottenham/Haringey if you’re attracted to the Conservative values which Boris is currently doing his best to personify. </p>
<p>So it’s a rare example of Labour competence to deploy David to more marginal seats this time.</p>

<p>Hello all. As a former Tottenham resident I have to say that Lanny is and has always been a very poor constituency MP. He does not even live in Tottenham but the posh end of the borough. In addition I have had to personally deal with him and his admin staff when I used to work at the borough law centre. I found him to be rude and obnoxious all the time. Despite his purported claims to be a barrister sadly he suffers from intellectual poverty. I recall the very able and respected Sharon Grant…</p>

<p>Nice of you to describe Tottenham voters as "sheep". Couldn't be could it that Tottenham voters are smart enough know they have a first class MP and are happy to go on voting for him? Just a thought.</p>
