Election week! Let's hope that the election is clean and that every candidate focuses on the issues and on the positive.
The Tory attack ads, mimicking those of the Republicans south of the border, show us the depth to which politics can sometimes descend. Fortunately, we have seen no more from "realitycheck." But remember, the more subtle jibes and insinuations can be just as sinister and more invasive.
Let's hope that no candidate follows that path. Rumour and innuendo only pull the union down. Accusation and denunciation say more about the purveyors and whisperers than the subjects of their barbs and slinging.
As always, our advice is to listen carefully, and to remember that guilt is not established by accusation - smoke does not always mean there is fire, sometimes it's just smokescreen.
The plan is to keep on blogging right up to the big event.
For those who are going, enjoy your Convention.
Solidarity
