  1. Interesting reading on your site about transparency in political funding. People from all sides are increasingly disappointed by this returning issue, which as you rightly point out is a consistent challenge to the perceived integrity of ALL parties – which your coverage reflects well.

    Me – I’ll be looking for an Independent to vote for next time on my patch.
