Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
St Ann's issue, a councillor's view
I'd love to hear your views on the issue John McMullan uncovered regarding the St Ann's Labour Party. I don't care what areas you represent/want to represent, it really does not matter. I just want to hear your views on the subject. Why? Because I, and perhaps many more locals might just vote for you if you openly discuss the affair.
Cheers in advance.
Ben

On the one hand, it's comical. On the other hand, it's corruption. I can't, sadly, say I'm surprised. Labour has been running OUR borough along these lines for years now (50, to be precise). Tell them, 'enough's enough' -- whoever you vote for, make sure it isn't for Haringey Labour!

Thanks for your response Justin. It's much appreciated. Apologies if you have already ,but are the Conservative Party planning to highlight the issue?

Heavens, no!!! Don't want Inspector Knacker knocking on our doors, do we? And it's more, like it or not, an internal issue for them, whereas, for example, spending £22k of taxpayers' cash on a get-to-meet-developers trip to Cannes, knocking down historic buildings and being totally awful at running the education and social services departments are not.

It is NOT just an internal issue for them Justin and I appreciate that in running against them you'd be reluctant to acknowledge this but here we go: the candidates selected in SAFE wards will be elected. St Ann's is a massively SAFE ward for the Labour Party. Claire Kober had trouble getting elected where she actually lives (Muswell Hill) so got selected in a safe seat (Seven Sisters) and therefore elected. This is an issue for all of us because the three councillors in St Ann's will be accountable to the small group of people who committed fraud to select them, not their chosen electorate who will all think that by voting Labour they are being looked after.
Your fear of legal action and the Police is noted Mr Hinchcliffe.

Absolutely John. This is no way internal as it directly effects the public. It amazes me why none of the other parties have really picked up on this. Why? I can only assume they have similar skeletons in their cupboards. Come on folks please respond.

"Mr Hinchcliffe"?? You *are* allowed to call me "Justin". I prefer the informal approach. So, in your humble opinion, who should people in St Ann's vote for?

Justin you said on one hand it comical on the other it's corruption. How on earth can political corruption be an internal issue? Surely this is something political parties should be taking on?
Well done for responding by the way.

So, our prospective councilors are not going to answer the question.....

Should I be concerned that only the Conservative party have contributed to this discussion?
-

Ok this is quite worrying. Not one councillor has entered into this discussion. I guess mouse control is a more important subject than vote rigging . Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

It really saddens me that no other parties have bothered to answer the question. Pathetic. Utterly pathetic. Please come and canvas Lothair Road South in the evening. PM me and I will give you my address.

I most certainly will be voting for Haringey Labour. Between the Tories and Labour, there really is no question Mr Hinchcliffe.
