Obvioulsy Morley is also part of the same constituency. Yesterday Leeds City College announced that due to the massive funding cuts imposed by the tories that the only further education provision in Morley is to close. Two other centres also suffered the same fate yesterday and other community centres are to follow. The sector has been shrinking rapidly ever since they got into power and the conservative manifesto has the lowest spend on education of all the parties leading to further horrendus cuts. Throw in the shambles they are making of the nhs thanks to back door privatisation and further unsustainable cuts to local government meaning the rest of the already decimated childrens centres, libraries, etc means you are right it is time for change. Its time to get rid of the tories whilst there is still something to save.

I would add players,coaches,the previous regimes running the club and the apathy among the Wakefield public to that as well?

Scarlett, I always have the courage to state what I feel mate. I am voting Antony who is a Tory. I was born and raised in a council house, under performing school and have watched politics over the years. I don't vote labour because my Grandfather did, or any other family members.



Out of the councillors in Wakefield, the ones who impressed me the most were Conservative. Over the years however, Tories have got my back up and some of their MPs I wouldn't pay in washers.



The thing that grates me about Labour is their 'run with the hares, run with the hounds ethos'. Who are they? Who do they represent? I will no doubt vote a mixture of Labour and Tory and maybe even UKIP, over the next so many years. One thing for certain, across all the parties I think we all agree on, is that a little more integrity and less of passing the buck mentality. That is for them all.



I may get this vote wrong! Who knows..

Again, good luck whoever you vote!!

I'm talking about the ground issue, try and keep up

The running with the hares, hunting with the hounds goes for all of the politicians !

NONE of them have the balls (pun intended) to say what they will do when we have a hung parliament , which either makes them blind (ostrich with head in sand) or deceitful, which is why many people don't bother to vote.



Unless all of the polls have this one wrong, there wont be an overall majority today and the next couple of weeks will see some "horse trading" which will make your blood curdle.



Tories/Ukip Labour/SNP Lib dems/Anyone and quite possibly another election within 6 months.



This particular campaign has been the worst in my life time and all of the main parties are guilty of mis-leading the general public.



As far as the ground situation is concerned, we certainly need a more helpful council but, that may not happen today

It's hard not to make generalisations when there is so much information knocking around. But I've met Andrea Jenkyns (Tory parliamentary candidate for Outwood & Morley) and her motivation for doing this is the loss of her dad, in Pinderfields, to MRSA. She is driven to fight for the NHS, to protect it and preserve it. But she's Tory, so how does that work?



This is a very big and very complicated puzzle!

Since 1981 in business I can say that we struggle when Labour are in power and do well when Tories are in power. How can anyone forget the last mess from the same people who now want to get involved with the economy. I got sick of hearing the word "worker" during this campaign. I am an MD and work my guts out to make ends meet and pay wages every month. I cannot think of one Socialist economy I would point out as a shining light of the system.

I am a compulsive social volunteer and have just had £1k to my local rugby league club and £1k for my conservation group from the local Tory councillor, he cared.

I am from council house stock, born on Lupset and raised on Kettlethorpe in a Labour household and today, never having voted for Labour or Conservative, voted Tory for the first time. The whole of Wakefield needs a shake up, every aspect is a mess. The sporting infrastructure of the city is not good enough. Time for change for mine.

UP THE TRIN

Do people know that there are 2 elections on today?

Local council elections and parliamentary elections, if you want to give Box a bloody nose 15 of labours 52 seats on the council are up for grabs, that would seriously reduce his majority if they could be switch, as for the national vote, I do believe a labour government would have more of a clout with a labour council so maybe some tactical voting needs to take place, personally I like Mary Creagh she has done quite a bit of work in the district and not just in the last 5 weeks, thankfully Balls and his Misses are not standing in my constituency and if they were I'd have a bit of a dilemma, the local Tory councillors have done a lot for our community and especially in supporting our local amateur rugby club, so for me the decision is simple, Tory for council and labour for national.

But the beauty of the country we live in means everyone has their own choice, but please make it for the right reasons and whatever you do make sure you vote, people have made the ultimate sacrifice to ensure we all have that right

Labour all the way. The NHS, education and defence whould be sacrosacnt in not being touched. I know people who work (or until made redundant recently worked) in all 3 and they all have been brought to their knees by this government. Now they want to cut child benefit for everybody. Bankers bonuses are back up at ridiculous amounts though so thats ok. Vote conservative and kill Wakefield and other town and cities like it off for good.

Rubbish Wakefield is on its knees now!!! Box is a joke and Balls. Sick of Labour they are good for families with 20 kids and dosers! They used to be for the working man now they are the same as any. Time for CHANGE 100%

There's not much left to kill in Wakefield thanks to the stranglehold of one party for years.

You do realise that we have had a tory government, with a bit of lib dem thrown in, for the last five years don't you?
