I'm wondering about how much your own personal perceptions/prejudices of a candidate affects your vote, (Blazey says she is a Conservative but would she vote for a Conservative if the candidate was a fat 20 stone woman ?) likewise , Greg Pope must have got a big boost since he is a 'local lad' , think what I am asking is .. do you think the same numbers who voted for Greg Pope would have voted the same if say Jack Straw had been the candidate instead ?
thanks
