Letters / The electorate can’t wait any longer

The media in general, social or otherwise, is heating up with election claims.

The clock is now ticking, however, most elections are over by the time the postal votes are in.  So, let’s get these candidates involved in a series of debates in front of the electorate. There are too many issues for just one debate.

My request is that Shetland News and others host a series of debates.  To date, three parties have candidates and I’m sure the Greens will engage, if they ever select a candidate?

The electorate can’t wait any longer; let’s bring this debate to the people.  It needs to be held throughout Shetland, not just Lerwick. Will they accept or merely hide behind social media comments.
