LETTERS – Hustings was terrific eventLETTERS –

I attended the recent General Election Hustings at Holbeach Methodist Church and wanted to say what a terrific event it was.
I enjoyed the debate greatly, and in particular was very impressed by John Hayes’ efforts and dedication to this area over many years.
Of course there is much dissatisfaction in the wider country with the government, but we are asked to vote for a person to represent us and our area, and having lived in many places over my life, I have not had as good an MP before as John Hayes.
Though he may not win many votes, the efforts of the Green Party candidate should be commended, and he will have a great career in politics I am sure!
I was disappointed to see that Labour and Reform UK did not send their candidates – it is quite rude to ask people to support a party that does not even turn up to make the case for why we should vote for them!
