Missing the point
The Leaders Debates has done a lot to highlight the importance of voting in this year's General Election. Vote for Cameron, Clegg or Brown. It is our choice.
We are however, in my opinion, massively missing the point. We vote for our local MP not the party leader. We should vote for the candidate in the area who will best represent our views and interests. Do you know who that is? Probably not, because there really is no emphasis on this fact.
Being a Tory I really think Cameron and his strategists are missing a trick, which is why things are closer than they should be. He cares for local politics, to move policy away from Whitehall. So why doesn't he stress the point that he has a fresh group of quality candidates that can transform politics? The voter wants change but it needs to know what change actually is. We need to know who these people are.
