Party A advises that for this election, it has selected a slate of candidates who are beyond reproach. Party A advises that unlike candidates from Party B, Party A candidates are stalwarts of their local community and only have the interests of their local community and its residents as their focus. Any suggestion that Party A candidates are in any way influenced by outside financial donors is just outrageous. Party B candidates, on the other hand, are only there to toe the party line and serve the interests of their well-connected financial supporters. Besides, half of Party B candidates are so dubious they should probably be in prison. Party A denies that it supports Parties C, D, E and F in any way, and forming a coalition with any of them is just a preposterous suggestion. But secretly Party A will give any or all of them anything they want if it means Party A could form Government with their support.

So which party or candidate does MBI support or recommend? As has been pointed out in the past, MBI is apolitical and cannot support any party or candidate. MBI suggests that readers should ignore what party leaders are saying or promising. They have little interest in you or your community and your concerns. The only person who might have some interest in your concerns and those of your community is your elected representative. So MBI suggests readers should look at the background of candidates and think about the following before casting your vote:
Does this candidate live in Longman? Is this candidate a contributor to the local community? Have you ever seen this candidate? Has this candidate ever done anything meaningful in your community? Has this candidate ever had a meaningful job? Has this candidate ever done anything requiring them to interact with the public?
MBI recommends that readers be guided by the answers you get to those questions and cast your vote accordingly Editor, MyBribieIsland
