So Helen Whitehead claims that she “was selected to stand in the General Election for the new Parliamentary seat of Herne Bay and Sandwich” (formerly the Thanet North constituency & including Garlinge, Westgate and Birchington). Sorry Helen, but you must be playing a joke on the voters!
The truth is that you were not, as you would have us believe , “selected” by a process which most people assume includes a democratic vote of local party members.
You were in fact appointed and “imposed” upon party members and voters of Herne Bay and Sandwich by a secretive cabal of Labour apparatchiks who with your compliance, have like Pound Shop Putins arrogantly decided that they know what’s best for local people.
I noticed that your election pledge to the voters of Herne Bay and Sandwich promises to “promote constructive democratic debate”. With all due disrespect what utter hypocritical BS you spout!
Your rung on the greasy ladder of self- serving political ambition was not gained by you winning a fair and square democratic debate between yourself and those who also aspired to be Labour’s candidate for the Herne Bay and Sandwich constituency, but by colluding with a profoundly anti-democratic suppression of any debate and membership vote to decide who would be the best Labour candidate for the this parliamentary seat.
If you were an honest and principled person, which is what most people expect from their wannabe MPs, and if you really are the democrat your election pledge claims you to be, then you would have rejected your imposition upon the Labour Party members and public of Herne Bay and Sandwich and insisted upon an open and democratic selection process, rather than sneaking in like a coward under the radar of honesty and accountability.
Indeed, sources tell me that had a normal selection process been carried out it would not be you who secured the candidacy. There were I understand some very capable candidates to choose from.
What matters here is that the Seven Principles of Public Life require all politicians, including aspiring MPs, to act with integrity and honesty at all times. But you have not.
To falsely inflate your credibility and legitimacy you have, I believe, deliberately and cynically misled the public into believing the commonly held view that your selection was the result of a fair and democratic internal process when it was in the eyes of many the total opposite.
If you can’t be honest about a matter as simple as how you became a parliamentary candidate what other, much more serious matters, would you deceive, misled and perhaps even lie to you constituents about were you, God forbid, to become the MP for Herne Bay and Sandwich.
Thankfully this is unlikely. Word is that many of those members of the Labour Party who were not allowed to democratically select the Party’s Herne Bay a Sandwich parliamentary candidate will not be turning out to help Helen and may instead use their time and energy to help out elsewhere.
