It is not enough to engage citizens on the issues, but to provide voters with enough tools that regardless of which party wins any election, the citizens agenda will remain front and center. Too many times politicians capitalize on voter apathy by disregarding the very issues they campaigned on. An issues based campaign directed at working families can ensure that politicians are unable to wiggle out from the things that matter most to ordinary people. This is accomplished by maintaining the focus on people's issues post election day. By not being able to duck from the issues they will have encountered on the doorstep, politicians will have no choice but to advocate on behalf of their constituents, not special corporate interests. What a novel concept! The key then lies in labour's ability to dictate the issues of the election, and then hold politicians of all stripes accountable should they choose to disregard what ordinary citizens are telling them.Frank Menteshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01006198189982351271noreply@blogger.com
