Local to me means growing up with the same issues that I had, having the same cultural references, knowing the political and cultural landscape inside out because you're 'here'.

I think the point you make Gayle is right. It's about understanding the area.Also Blackburn, Burnley and Rossendale are all similar in terms of the problems they face.
It's never been an issue for me or the Party that Greg lived in Blackburn. As you say he grew up in Gt Harwood. And he has always been accessible to he's constiuents at all times. And that's what you want from your MP.
