Thank you for saying you will stand up for "working people"; very noble of you. As a working person ie someone who gets out of bed every morning to do something that generates income out of which I (a) pay taxes that politicians then largely waste, and (b) look after my family with what's left, I know you will value my thoughts.
1 The electorate is 46m people; 31m of those are "working people". Current polls say that around one third of the electorate (c15m) intends to vote for you which suggests either that only half of "working people" believe that your policies are right for them or that most of your supporters aren't in work. Probably the position is somewhere in the middle and in reality you only have the support of one third of the working population - not much of an endorsement is it?
2 We all make mistakes. The key is recognising when you've got something wrong, putting it right and learning from it. I don't think the UK electorate can trust you when you won't recognise the mistakes you and your colleagues made before 2010 let alone convince us that you have learnt from them.
3 Nicola Sturgeon is smarter than you - and we can all see that. If you allow her to do so, she will run rings around you and you will look out of control and a complete chump. Personally, that wouldn't worry me but if 15m of my fellow citizens intend to put their future in your hands I think they deserve an honest account of how you intend to form a government without wee Jimmy Krankie.
4 What is your beef with non-doms? They pay full UK taxes on their UK income, as you and I do, and pay a "fee" every year to keep their non UK income taxed elsewhere. They also pay: VAT, Council Tax, Stamp Duty etc so please stop suggesting that they are in some way "scrounging" off the UK taxpayer. They are major contributors to our finances: you know that, and it does you no credit to treat them as an underclass.
So, from one "working person" to another, please get real. We are still in crisis and now is not the time to preach ideology. We need pragmatism, firm economic management and strong leadership. Maybe another "working person", David Cameron, can continue to show you how it should be done.
