Daily Echo - Spottiswoode's manifesto...

Spottiswoode's manifesto...
KATE Bllenger (Daily Echo, January 25) asks the question; surely having an MP who acts in line with constituents' wishes is a good thing? John Spottiswoode's No F in Southampton campaign aims at getting local councillors and indeed MPs elected who are fighting to stop water fluoridation.
All Green Party candidates support the No F campaign so primarily John Spottiswoode calls for voters to support Green Party candidates, but also for other antifluoridation candidates where there is no Green.
More importantly in answer to the question Kate asks - anyone who supports fluoridation is saying that it is OK to forcibly medicate the whole population through their drinking water.
This is against the democratic will of the 72 per cent who did not want fluoride in the so-called 'Public Consultation' and against the human rights of all those who object.
Supporting fluoridation also breaks medical ethics. People must never force medication on anyone and medication must be based on the individual's needs. Therefore anyone who supports fluoridation is taking a deeply authoritarian and immoral stand and should not be re-elected at any level of government.
Additionally, John Spottiswoode is standing against John Denham on a whole range of issues.
He is against Labour's privatisation of public services, deplores the idea that students should start their working careers with a substantial debt for their academic efforts and of course he has written much outstanding work concerning today's most important challenges such as global warming, and has done so for at least the last fifteen years.
The Green Party and John have wide ranging policies that are sensible and just, not just Green!
