Endorsements are helpful

I find myself in disagreement with your opinion piece whereby you decry the practice of MLAs and MPs voicing support for civic candidates.

I venture that few of us have much in the way of information on candidates that would lead to intelligent decisions and anything that adds to that knowledge is therefore useful. The three politicians mentioned have by their endorsement indicated that the candidates mentioned are to some degree like-minded in their political outlook. This is useful information. If it suggests that they are left, centre or right leaning, that might be useful to all voters. Ignorance is not bliss when it comes to voting.
