Regardless of what party you are in you will have a view of whom should be deputy PM. True that only Labour party members get to vote for them but they will be the deputy leader of our country. Lets presume that GB gets the PM position...
Who should get it? My vote (If i had one) would be cast for JohnCruddas. I say this not because i necessarily agree with his politics but because i appreciate that he has criticised the leadership constructively at times other than when the PM has announced he is stepping down. Most of the candidates are now criticising aspects of Blairs legacy and politics but they didn't dare when their career depending on it. Now it's open season on American relationship etc. At least Cruddas stood up for what he believed in before the end game looked near.
Whats your view? And no saying 'None of them or they would all be as rubbish'

A chimp can post a leaflet through a door!
So...this is my first post. I've never created a blog before but i've done it in the vain hope that it inspires others like me to interact with politics in Norwich and the wider community. Theres too much cynicism in politics which doesn't resonate from individuals within politics but by the lack of engagement of citizens with politics.
I'm 23 and have always been interested in politics. I've never been in a political party as i don't feel that any one party represents my views but i respect those who do engage at that level. However interested you are in politics you shouldn't have to constantly chase the politicians. They should want to chase you! they should want to grab us, to talk to us and to find out our opinions on the saubjects that really matter.
This blog is a result of a lack of interaction in politics. The May elections are coming and i've only had one leaflet through my door - From Labour. None others. Where are the others? Do they not bother to print them in areas where they don't think they will win but are still standing a candidate? And the Labour candidate... commendable to post a leaflet more. More commendable would be for them to stop, see me staring at them through the kitchen window and stop and talk to me. Even if i disagreed or agreed with everything they said (Highly unlikely either way) then there would have been real interaction. A chimp can post a leaflet through a door.
