So the local LibDems have picked a former IW councillor as their next parliamentary candidate. The woman who tried to force 2-tier education onto the Island without listening to the people and then paid the price by losing her Council seat in Brighstone back in May 2005. So now her party wants Islanders to have faith in someone with a track record of ignoring the Island. I don't think so.
As LibDem grandee Morris Barton said back in July 2005 after the last elections, " LibDems face a decade out of power on the IW." And "We are seeing the voting intentions of people polarise towards either Labour or the Tories." Even more true now Morris !
Of course the Labour parliamentary candidate, Mark Chiverton (left), is well positioned as the representative of the only political party on the IW that doesn't flip flop over its position on schools. Standards matter, not organisational structures.

Jill Wareham's attempt is doomed. This woman was responsible for our failing education system and now claims to want to put education at the centre of her campaign! Will she be letting us know where her administration went wrong?
I would laugh but it's not funny. This woman clearly has no shame and local Liberals must be desperate.
Is mark trying to pose like me?
