James Mawdsley (Con) Has spent fourteen months in solitary confinement in a Burmese prison. Decided to chuck his degree in favour of travel (It broadens the mind) and appears more concerned with the inequities of Burmese and North Korean politics than anything else.
Which of these is going to give Hyndburn Plc the leg-up it so desperately needs? The choice is yours.

Thanks for the info Bob. Now I am really confused as who to vote for
Time to do some more reading I think.
I remember talking with a friend a few years ago about how our voting system works. He mentioned a method, I can't remember its name but someone will tell me, you vote for the party not candidate. Votes added up and if Labour have the most votes they run the whole country at national and local levels. This appears at first to be a good idea. HBC can't blame Labour for not enough money because they would be Labour and so on. One party in charge so only one party to blame.
Any views people.
