Power 2010 in action in Harrow
The campaign to target MPs standing in the way of reform started with a bang this week in Harrow with an open letter to Harrow East MP Tony McNulty which collected almost 3,000 signatures in a few days.
The letter highlighted McNulty’s record which shows him consistently protecting ‘the old top-down politics of command and control and against reform.’ He was a key offender in the expenses scandal, which ended in him resigning from government and paying back £13,837 which he had claimed for a second home. No wonder, then that he had voted against the Freedom of Information Act being applied to MPs. He is also a key champion of ID cards, and voted against a fully elected second chamber and for an appointed Lords.
McNulty was hit hard on Thursday with a full page ad in the Harrow Times and posters with ‘Wanted for crimes against democracy’ delivered to thousands of Swing voters in the constituency, many of which are now stuck up in windows around Harrow.
In case he hadn’t got the message yet, local volunteer residents and a Power2010 sheriff delivered the letter – and the name of every co-signer – direct to his constituency door. Sadly, no-one was there to receive them. McNulty has been rather quiet as the campaign has been building up these past few days and we’re waiting to see what defence, if any, he will offer on the accusations laid against him.
On Monday Power2010 will be adding five more MPs (taken from the public’s suggestions) to their Most Wanted list. Over the next few weeks, volunteers around the country will be making sure that the next parliament is a reforming one.
