Labour done nothing around here. Roads are like Beirut.They have been good for Cas but not us in Wakefield

well we all know who mr box the labour leader of wmdc supports ,and it isnt wakefield trinity. so guess what i and many people i know arnt gonna support the so called labour party.

Most people i've spoken to who aren't regular wakey fans couldn't care less about the stadium fiasco one way or another. In fact most couldn't give a damn about the election period. Quite sad really.

Myself i would never vote for any particular party based on a single issue, whatever it was. The stadium being just one element. It all goes into the pot and the best of a bad bunch chosen from that. And then watch as nothing changes whoever it is that gets in.

This.

I would generally agree with you on this.
However IF (and it's a massive if), one of the political parties were able to guarantee a new stadium (or massively improved BV), I would definitely vote for them.
Any other wrongs that they were responsible for could be rectified after the next election, but, the stadium would be worth any other pain.

Having said that, I don't think any of the current options are in any position to guarantee the stadium.

Although the current rulers of the district appear to have done all that they can for the stadium not to be built

I guess the problem we have is how local elections work. Labour will still be in control come the the 8th may and Box will still be leader, no matter how we vote. There just isn't enough councillors up for election to oust them and most people will still vote for them anyway. Personally i think the only chance we have is if a Labour government with a healthy front bench presence of local MP's can exert enough pressure on the council to move things forward. I just can't see the tories going against business in a case like this, it just isn't their way despite the rhetoric they are no doubt coming out with. The old saying 'How do you know when a conservative is lying? Their lips are moving' still rings true to this day. It's only my personal opinion and others may think de=ifferently but i think the only way the stadium will ever get built is by the council pressurising Yorkcourt in to doing so by refusing any further development on that land that doesn't comply to the original planning decision. To get this co-operation from our great leaders they will need leaning on from above from Creagh, Balls & Trickett who will likely have a good amount of government influence.

Agree with all that, it's just a case of whether the bigger players in Westminster can or will put pressure on Mr Box & Co to play ball.
Yorkcourt must be sitting back laughing at just how they have managed to get so much for so little and at just how easily they have managed to get away with things so easily.

All politicians lie, it's what they do. This saga proves labour lie just as good as the Tories

Go on then - I'll ask the question. What have labour done for Castleford but not for Wakefield ?

We've got extra fingers for a start.
