Perhaps the majority of the electorate look to other qualities, before considering a candidate's 'localness'.
Didn't a born and bred Accrington lad unsuccessfully stand against Great Harwood born Greg Pope, twice?
Hyndburn (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Oh yes, just checked, there was someone. Called Peter Britcliffe, apparently.
Seeing as the population of Accrington is many times greater than Harwood, it really should have been a walk in the park, if localism was an important consideration to folks around here.
Remind us again, who would have been your preferred Conservative candidate at the last General Election?
Local lad, with a keen interest in politics, was it?
