Locally, the Conservatives are interested in delivering real change for local people and delivering better and more efficient public services.

The current Labour administration is the one stuck in the Dark Ages, consistently thinking it knows better than the people it is meant to serve.

Locally, it lost the referendum to have an elected mayor yet still believes the public got it wrong.

Nationally, the people of Gibraltar sent a clear signal they do not want a power-sharing agreement with Spain yet Tony Blair and his cronies again think the people are wrong.

Perhaps next May, when the Conservatives come to power in Brighton and Hove, the Labour Party will finally realise that locals have had enough and think that they are out of ideas and out of time.
