[fvc-wat-disc] Cross culture debates

[CROSS CULTURES]

Hi Peter,

thank you for attending last Sunday's debate .. I stated clearly that I 
was not going to allow party plugs, the purpose of my style of 
'democracy in action" is to explore the PERSONALITY and SKILLS and 
EXPERIENCE of the candidates .. topics need not be hashed at my 
gatherings ..

*topics and issues will be handled BY THE RIGHT PERSON representing us 
....  as they arise during the four years .. not in the two hours, and 
it will be our responsibility to DEMAND that they be addressed
*

I also promote mutual respect, if someone is making a valid point .. I 
am NOT going to cut them off just to keep time .. you had plenty of time 
to have your say ... if you had wished to ..

and to answer your other question ..  same parties have responded for 
the next two gatherings with added P P C member confirming so far ... I 
will also be having similar for Waterloo and Cambridge

thank you

Gehan
