I know Garinda, but would still like to see the figures ... if you can google it, may be helpful ... I have tried but can't get them.
Hyndburn has been 'locally' represented since Ken won in 1983, and there does seem to be some weight to the argument that people have a preference for someone knowing the local area well.
Davidson was only defeated by 21 votes though.
Hyndburn Conservative Association certainly think so.

Loved this analysis of this character's humbleness I came across the other day:
'Uriah Heep, a character from David Copperfield. I suggest you do further research on this individual. His name is now used as a descriptive term for a person who is obsequiously humble but really he is actually hypercritical: in that he nurses greed, rage and/or a sense of entitlement beneath this facade'
