Over the past few days I have been asked to talk to Carers, Farmers, Businesses, Schools and Bikers. This is one of the most enjoyable aspects of being a candidate and something I have built up a talent for in my own job; talking to people and understanding their own particular issues.
A theme running through listening various groups is how the previous government has been fixated with measurements, control and bureaucracy often with unintended consequences. It seems to me that if government cut back on much of this control and let people get on with Nursing, Teaching, Caring or any number of things they do, it would cost this country a lot less money and we would all get a better service.
Talking to the Farmers this afternoon, we could improve things a lot by breaking up Defra to create a ministry that looks after Farming and Food production (we could call it MAFF) and put a minister in charge that actually knows something about farming, rather than an MP for Leeds.
Its time to put a bit of common sense back into politics.

What a breath of fresh air! As a retired teacher I agree wholeheartedly with letting people get on with their work without continual interference. Am a bit concerned over HSL rail route as it would destroy S Cubbington wood. An ancient woodland which I have been studying for the last 30 years. VERY unsure as to how the new line would benefit this constituency.
