Elections

 This article has been on my mind for a while now... so let's get it started.

I probably will be voting for Reform in May... yet am going to make sure I check out all the candidates properly. The two I have endorsed in public so far are not standing for Reform.

I know plenty of good people within Reform yet the West Yorkshire leadership where I am... not good enough really. I've even been censored from writing about them. When you have over 11 million views worldwide you always get heard- the full article I will post everywhere and will get loads of views...

It's lead my to my current position where I will not be renewing my membership in May. I've made offers to work with Reform locally in other ways yet no response.

The reality is in my ward Labour just have to be removed. If Labour weren't so bad I might not even bother to vote.

I've been into politics for a LONG time and have friends and connections who've been in it for a long time too. I would like to thank everyone worldwide for all the support I've had in my political writing. Many agree with me that there are few candidates as good as me standing in Kirklees.

I've had offers and support to stand as an independent candidate or one aligned with another party yet after a LOT of thought and analysis have decided for the greater good I will not do this. Again I've been putting time into politics every day... it's not even just a case of 'splitting the vote'- standing as a candidate would gain votes from people who wouldn't vote anyway, I would for sure get some, probably more than a current candidate who stood for the Lib Dems in 2024. At this time it isn't worth mine or my reader's time though.

Obviously a shame, as some Reform candidates in certain wards will probably lose where I would have a better chance of winning. I think anyone politically engaged already knows which party a lot of Reform Councillors and officials have gone to.

This gives me the freedom to be more direct in my political writing though- over the past year I have restrained myself to an extent. The 3 candidates in my ward I have never seen in a Reform meeting yet I will write on them more before and after the election.

Thank you for reading- I have great readers worldwide

Southern Sun

 Piece by piece

I release

Once was mine

Now undone

Turned blue like new

Orleans

And went down like

A southern sun

I still feel you

Beneath my skin

I am tempted

To throw my senses in

'Cos it's easier to fly

Than to face another night in southern sun

And your love is all around

Piece by piece

I release

Once was mine

Now undone

Turned blue like new

Orleans

And went down like

A southern sun

I still feel you

Beneath my skin

I am tempted

To throw my senses in

'cos it's easier to fly

Than to face another night in southern sun

And your love is all around

In the air to set me free

You last like a song

I'm deflated

I am pieces on the wind

Unrelated

I still feel you

Beneath my skin

I am tempted

To throw my senses in

'Cos it's easier to fly

Than to face another night in southern sun

And your love is all around

In the air to set me free

'Cos it's easier to fly

In the air to set me free

'Cos it's easier to fly

In the air to set me free

Half The World Away...

My love is like footsteps in the snow, baby

I follow you everywhere you go, baby

The palest light has come to wake you

But you will never realize

That I inspire the dreams that guide you, baby

You're half a world away

But in my mind I whisper every single word you say

And before you sleep at night

You pray to me, your lucky star, your singing satellite

Your singing satellite

Your satellite

You're half a world away

But in my mind I whisper every single word you say

And before you sleep at night

You pray to me, your lucky star, your singing satellite

I'll follow the winds that bring the cold, baby

I'll light a fire in your soul, baby

The lightest touch of feathers falling

My love may be invisible

But I inspire the dreams that guide you, baby

You're half a world away

But in my mind I whisper every single word you say

And before you sleep at night

You pray to me, your lucky star, your singing satellite

You're half a world away

But in my mind I whisper every single word you say

And before you sleep at night

You pray to me, your lucky star, your singing satellite 

Thank You

Just a quick THANK YOU post here... and maybe an insight into how it feels being an 8 FIGURE (over 10 million worldwide) view writer...

Views have been pretty surreal lately... like even when I haven't been posting my hard to get to blog https://markhowitt.blogspot.com/ has been doing over 3,000 views a day... from places like BRAZIL and SAUDI ARABIA where I've never been...

In this day and age you really can have a worldwide impact as a writer... you have to keep at it though... engage with good readers and just keep the flow real...

I've been at the stage now for years where I've written what I want without the need to get paid. I can't be bought. If you see me recommending a product etc I'll probably already have it myself. Readers can see my political views have been consistent for years and more UK people are resonating with that now... more political writing to come for sure...

Ideally I would like to be paid etc a bit more... support like likes are appreciated too... yet I'll always find some time for writing...

When I look at my Facebook friend list I'm honestly surprised how many cool people are on there... I'm choosy who I let on, I'm even choosy to extent about LinkedIn connections... yet some real winners there...

On the internet people can read things in their own time... and often I'll slam out messages at like 2 in the morning... sometimes people write to me at that time...

So yeah if you're a writer... stay true to yourself... create a flow... always keep reading and learning... and maybe you'll be an 8 figure writer too one day.... thanks for reading
