Hillary Clinton is portrayed as a hard nosed win at all
costs lady by our media that what i see over here (maybe
djy can say other wise)
Broadly speaking I would say that's just about right, but my rag of choice is the Telegraph not the Guardian or Independent.

Hillary is one of my senators (New York). I do have to
say I like what she's done for our region (Western New
York).
Speak as one finds I say. I'm pleased for you, I only wish I could say the same for our local incumbent.
To say he's a complete waste of space would be an insult to said waste of space. By my reckoning, in the 10 years he's represented Hereford in Parliament he has done absoulutley sweet F.A. for the area. All he is, apparently, good for is getting his photograph taken, a bit like those clichéd polititians one sees in Hollywood films. Indeed, it is said he would attend the opening on an envelope so long as a camera was present.

Where i live the area is has always been and ever shall
be a labour strong hold.
I don't feel in all the time i lived here that they have
done anything that the other parties wouldn't have.
Its good that you feel that some politician has done some
positive work in your area.
I see spending of our taxes on stupid window dressing
like block paving(when there was a perfectly food pavement
before) and murals by our twinned French town. stupid
sign posts etc etc . yet drug dealers freely trade on
the lovely town square etc etc
our councillors in the UK in my area IMHO are rubbish
and that's all off them no matter what party.
Frankly, I am sickened by main stream politics in this country. The contempt the
unelected Prime Minister showed for the electorate, by putting his name to that European Treaty (the not quite constitution), is merely icing on the cake as far as I'm concerned.
And as for local councillors, my feelings are as one with Bob.
P.S.
Just found this . . .
