LETTER: Time for change so public engagement and democracy can bloom

There are six candidates for Spalding Elloe and a divided vote means it is almost certain the Tory will be returned.

I have written to the other four candidates suggesting this is a time for unity as once it is shown the Tories can be beaten, public engagement and democracy will bloom.
I would also ask every individual voter to also consider this and use their vote tactically. My published letters in the Voice show how I fight for all the people and I stand on my record.
Thank you.
