As the Barnet Eye does not have a vote in the Barnet Tory Leadership election, we feel that it is only right and proper that we use our considerable influence to throw our full weight behind the Brian Coleman for Leader campaign. There are several important reasons why Brian Coleman is the only credible candidate, not least because he's not Andrew Harper, who has shown himself to be completely useless whilst practising as de-facto leader during Councillor Hillans illness. Whilst this blog would not have believed it possible to be more crass or insensitive than Brian Coleman, Harper's pitch for leadership immediately after Hillans announcement proved me completely wrong. It showed that Harper is completely unscrupulous and uncaring for his friends and colleagues.
Brian Coleman has also stated publicly that he will return to the committee system and abandon the disasterouscadre cabinet system. Whilst I have deep reservations about Brian Coleman for all manner of reasons, this would be the best thing to happen in Barnet politics for the last 16 years. On top of this, Coleman has publicly stated that he opposes the Brent Cross redevelopment, as out of character with the rest of Barnet. This blog wholeheartedly backs his opposition to this horrible scheme.
And finally there are the two main reasons for backing Coleman. This blog would have an absolute field day if Coleman was in charge with no one to control him and prevent him from putting his foot in his mouth. If ever there is a quiet news day and I want to write a blog, I just check to see what he's been up and hey presto a blog appears. Even better than that, if there is anyone who can bring back a Labour lead administration to Barnet, it is a Brian Coleman run Conservative group. For these reasons I urge all Tory Councillors to work tirelessly for a Brian Coleman victory.

I have grave reservations about putting Brian Coleman in charge of anything; not least because of the possibility that he would do a complete about-face once he is in power. The damage he might do doesn't bear thinking about. There has to be another way.
