206 Vote 'Independent Conservative' in Cheshunt North

Dear Cheshunt North, Independent Conservative voters

Thank you for each of your 206 votes of support in yesterday's local election;  each such vote will be cherished for together they reflect the evolution of politics and unearthed artefacts belonging to a Treasure Trove.

Goodwill is an equally precious commodity which I have encountered on a daily basis whether in the shape of a phone call this morning suggesting 'a phyrric victory for the Opposition enhanced by the Referendum' or, indeed, generous gestures from the most unexpected quarters awarding the Trove to myself, the landowner.

Bless Them all for their thoughtfulness.  In particular, Tweetees, @jason_manc 'Tories have gained a councillor seat somewhere darn sarf'  @rooknight 'she left the party group  We won' for their youthful exuberance.

Standing down from the Conservatives at the beginning of this year and becoming an Independent Conservative was not an act that gave me any pleasure.

Had I done so sooner, I would have had more time to single-handedly win more Hearts and Minds within the Ward;  poisoned earlier in a ruthless, calculating and tribal manner in a statement from a 'Tory insider' whose cowardly, defamatory remarks upon my departure were unfairly aimed to publicly damage my reputation.

The eagerness to out the 'Tory insider' by observers who wished me well was telling. 


Treasure Trove

More importantly, may I now thank those who signed my popular 'Local Power' petition to bring back 'FREE' youth clubs for young people, help young offenders and create civilian street patrols.

I have opened 3 'FREE' youth clubs in four months and also kick-started civilian street patrols with a pilot in Cheshunt North.

Businesses have been invited by me to join a local business enterprise partnership and young people encouraged to join its young entrepreneurs group; with the inaugural meeting taking place this month.

I trust this demonstrates clearly that apathy towards politics is being replaced by voters' energetic indignation:  today's local election results reflect Independents' pioneering work in this arena ~ such as inititatives that are emulated by the Opposition during the run-up to local elections - opening-up new areas of thought whereby local people may capture local power by simply joining together in sizeable activists' groups.

Whatever the frustrations, it is well-worth expressing those views for without them, those whose views we may strongly disagree will lead the way.  To where?

Freedom, individual responsibility and community matter now, more than ever.

With every good wish

Joanne
