Nice to hear from you. I have looked at the labour candidate Roxanne's site. She is no doubt a lovely lady, but so young to be in the rough and tumble of politics! I will be writing plenty of other articles before the election. No doubt you (as well as the rest of us) will be sick and tired of the whole thing by election day. Thank god this is not America! What do you think of the 3 main candidates?
