all. I will not conduct abusive, personal politics during my campaign and can assure you that I shall continue with that pledge if elected. It is time for the election of an imaginative and independent leader, with real world experience, who will be a force for progressive politics in local government. We need someone who clearly puts Bristol first. But I need your support and your vote on November 15 to make this happen. It is time for a leadership that is more in tune with the needs and aspirations of our communities. A vote for an independent mayor will be a vote for a decisive break from the old system -- a vote for real change. If you agree -- do follow me on Twitter @georgefergusonx -- and register on our Bristol1st website at www.bristol 1st.com "Is it just my impression or are The Post / This Is Bristol / Northcliffe Media giving a disproportionate amount of coverage to the campaign of George Ferguson, compared to that given to other candidates?"
