Chronicle letter - Energy

Here's the full, unedited version of my letter in today's Crewe Chronicle :

Dear Sir

I welcome Dr. Adrian Heald’s comments aboutenergy prices (17/10/12). However, I would like to go further, in offeringresidents of Crewe and Nantwich a practical solution, rather than just moaningabout it and blaming the government.

By working together as acommunity, and pooling our buying power, we can force the energy providers tolower their prices. This is exactly what I plan to do, to save money forhouseholds in Crewe and Nantwich. If you’d like to join my CollectiveBargaining group for Energy, please register your interest on my website(following the link for ‘Energy’) and we’ll take it from there.

My aim is to have at least5000 households involved so we can negotiate a great deal from the suppliers.Don’t forget to spread the word to your friends and neighbours, and lend yourassistance to those who do not have access to the internet, particularly theelderly.  Remember – the more householdsinvolved, the better the deal we can negotiate!

In many ways, the stranglehold on the energymarket by the big providers, and resulting stagnation of competition andinnovation mirrors the situation in British Politics. The Con/Lib/Lab consensushas bought about a situation where no-one really gets what they want, and the countrystands still in an uneasy compromise, afraid to move on and grow.

Like the energy market, our politics needs a goodshake up! We must put aside our left/right wing biases and embrace ideas over ideologies. I would urgeeveryone to consider the range of innovative and progressive policies advocatedby UKIP, like my Collective Energy Bargaining Scheme, based on Common Sense andSound Economics. www.ukip.org.  If we work together, we can get Britainmoving again!

Yours faithfully

Cllr. Stuart Hutton, UKIP.
