Parliamentary candidate Purna Sen (The Argus, April 7) tries to claim the moral high ground by asserting that Labour would scrap the “bedroom tax” if it came to power.
Alas, her grappling irons have come adrift in the process.
She avoids the fact that – yet again (as with the Gagging Bill) – if more Labour MPs had turned up for the crucial vote in November, that tax would not have prevailed.
If I am voted in as MP for Hove and Portslade, it will be a point of honour to vote in my turn.
One owes that to the residents who have given one the job.
Christopher Hawtree, Green Party Parliamentary candidate for Hove and Portslade
