The candidate does seem important to the residents of Hyndburn.
Well it has been since Labour realised it was no use bringing a left wing militant in from Liverpool:D

'Tis true.

A local candidate does seem to have an advantage in the eyes of Hyndburn residents.

Which is probably why CCO weren't too keen on a twice rejected local candidate standing yet again, and which has resulted in all they infighting we're sadly seeing between local and national Conservatives.

Oh dear, the problems the Conservatives are having seem even more severe than was at first apparent to us.

The best chance they've had for years and all this fighting might have a negative effect on their chances.

I was canvassed yesterday, by the way, by one of the already selected candidates.

Whoever is the successful Conservative candidate better get a pair of roller skates, if they are going to knock on every door in the constituency before the election, and try and secure our votes.

No candidate knocks on every door Rindi it is totally impossible, that's where local knowledge comes in, and essential that the candidate is local

There are about 43,000 houses. Probably done about 2,000 so far.

I think I'll be able to do about 15,000 plus the 4,000 last year.
