JAMES CROTTY, Independent candidate for Pembroke
Congratulations Wendy. The Greens couldn’t have picked a better candidate. We have the opportunity to raise the standard of debate in this by-election above the usual ill informed name calling and mud slinging. One way to engage the public in that process would be a public debate. While there would no doubt be much common ground between us I am sure we could find divergence enough to satisfy an engaged audience. We should invite rather than challenge Vanessa to the debate and encourage her to come. Our election will not be dependent upon a debate. We both know much broader factors will determine that. But a debate will provide public benefit and let us test our own convictions against eachother. If you are interested let’s arrange one for next week. Regards.
