It seems that the lucky electors of Swansea West are to be asked their views on the state of the Welsh NHS by none other than fact-finding Lib Dem The three page survey, which helpfully begins by explaining that May is his party’s parliamentary candidate, contains 42 objectively set questions along the lines of “Do you agree with
It’s a fairly safe guess what the Phantom printer of Finsbury Terrace plans to do with his "findings" in coming months and that the dumbo local press might even fall for it. However, we did manage to find one vital missing question that puts the exercise in perspective:
Do you really want to be represented in Westminster by someone who either doesn't know or doesn't care that responsibilities for health, environment and education were devolved to the Welsh Assembly nearly 10 years ago?

Clearly the Lib Dems in Swansea think that devolution should be reversed.
May isn't alone in Swansea LibDem chicanery.

and read Leechking Sheridan's comment: -
"If the annual salary of David Sissling is performance linked, as is suggested in the first line of the article, then if Mr. Sissling (with the help of his colleagues) does significantly improve the Health and Well Being of Service Users in our area and does so within the Financial constraints that he and his team has been set, then he should be rewarded, as contractionaly agreed. However, both Rhodders and Brown (in particular, the latter), have been paid at levels substantially below what their respective responsiblities merit."

How come Peter May isn't conducting a Social Services inquiry? It could have questions like DO YOU AGREE THAT A FAILED CABINET MEMBER FOR SOCIAL SERVCIES WAS THEN MADE PRESIDING OFFICET OF THE COUNCILLOR? Another would be ARE YOU HAPPY THAT THE COUNCIL IS CLOSING A SOCIAL SERVICES REPSITE CENTRE AND TWO CHILDRENS HOMES? What about HOW MUCH MONEY WAS GIVEN TO THE FORMER DIRECTOR OF SOCIAL SERVCIES TO LEAVE THE LOCAL AUTHORITY? Finally, we can have WAS THE LEADER OF THE COUNCIL RIGHT TO GO OFF ON A JAUNT TO BRUSSELS INSTEAD OF ATTENDING AN CRISIS MEETING WITH THE MINISTER ON THE STATE OF SWANSEA'S SOCIAL SERVCIES?
Why shouldn’t a parliamentary candidate take a stance on health matters? The Assembly has clearly made a hash of things with ministers putting free parking gimmicks before retaining neurosurgery in West Wales. Health is too important to be left to the mumblings of 60 under-achieving egotists in their Cardiff Bay glasshouse.
How ironic. Peter May doing fact finding work.
This is the same Muppet who couldn't answer members questions for himself in a recent council meeting, but rather needed help from council officers. See here http://davidphillips1.blogspot.com/2009/11/mr-forgetful.html
The term Muppet seems totally appropriate here.
