I wonder when Ms Buckley will make her first posting on here? Or will she ever? But if she does, will she stick some posts on between now and the 6th May and then - like the rest of 'em, irrespective of party - disappear for ever?

Come on, Jaysay - it's your job to kick Ms Buckey's arse and get her on here. Let's see what she has to say for herself.

Karen Buckley - Conservative PPC for Hyndburn


She pledged she'd immediately give up her job and relocate here, if selected as a candidate. That pledge has now been removed from her website, so we trustingly know she's living here right now, working fulltime on her campaign.

She's already joined the forum, and was reading one of the election candidate threads, just the other week.

With the evidence of what she pledged in the above quote, she'll be here.

She'd look more like a dolee? (dole person? dolite? doley bird?) If she was to join folk outside the town centre pubs with fag in hand discussing the advantages of electing her with the her family members her branch left behind.

From talking to people door-to-door it seems that only the hardline supporters are aware of the fiasco going on regarding the selection in Hyndburn, which is a remarkably small number.

The majority of people have picked a badge (for whatever reason) and are sticking with it. Trying to persuade people to see the person beyond the badge is the hard part and I'm afraid I don't believe anything is a foregone conclusion at this stage.

I fully support Graham and his campaign. He's born and bred in the area, got completely the right idea about Hyndburn and knows his public. He is the best man for the job and the Labour group has organised the canvassing in each ward far better and well in advance of the opposition but an awful lot of people still see Westminster and Hyndburn as the same thing when it comes to wearing a red badge.

Karen Buckley may have a tremendous disadvantage on the face of it having entered the race so late in the day but it would be arrogance to think that it will automatically sway the majority.

It's good to see you still have some principles, even if you're banking on the Conservative candidate losing, and hoping for a hung parliament.

So you can brush off ol' Neddy, and have the chance to enter him for one last last race, in the Last Chance Saloon Derby.

I do feel quite sorry for any candidate that doesn't have the backing of the local party purely because someone who has failed twice already has spat his dummy out at not being asked a third time. My view on aligning yourself with a group is that you abide by majority decisions, whether you fully agree or not.

My opponent in Rishton began canvassing last week and, although I understand he is a good choice for candidate, I can't say that he is going about things in quite the way I would have expected. There is no supportive wording from any of the party on his (rather cheap) flyer and he walked into the Working Men's Club proclaiming that the residents are 'a bit rough' after canvassing Spring Street. This did not go down well.

Looking at it from my vantage point, the Conservative campaign is poor in comparison with Labour's and there hasn't been a peep from the Tory councillors in Rishton in support of either candidate.

I am fortunate enough to not only have Graham Jones' image and contact details on my election literature but he has also been out canvassing with me in Rishton. The Conservative paper states the 'possibility' of a General Election at the same time as the locals, with no mention of Ms Buckley.

I have yet to see Peter Britcliffe even enter the Rishton boundary.

But Church is a town and Altham is a village (and has its own parish council, the only one in Hyndburn) - both of them are far older and much more history than Accrington and equally as important.

Church is a village. I think it's unfair to call somebody out for not knowing all the areas when she appeared to be listing the towns, that's all. I'm pretty sure she'll know Church and other places are in the constituency!

You're probably right; so...while we're on the subject, are you going to tell us where you stand on the great CCHQ selection row? Will you be out campaigning for Karen in the next few weeks?

So, what's your opinion on the situation? Were the bigwigs at your head office out of order to decide on a candidate from outside the area like many other party locals, such as Jaysay think, or were they quite right to do so?

I was quite annoyed back in I think January time. Since then I've come to the conclusion that Hyndburn Tories have had almost 5 years to select a list from the candidates list, or get people approved onto it. CCHQ should have stepped in sooner to ensure a candidate was in place I think. Hyndburn is a seat we can fight well, especially now that the moderate Labour MP has been replaced by a full blown socialist candidate! I wasn't at the selection, but from what I've heard of Karen, she seems like a very good candidate.

Perhaps some overzealous missionary recently caught the reshowing of Oranges Are Not the Only Fruit, and was under the impression that the streets of the quaintly cobbled back-water were peopled by hoardes of young Jesses and Jessies, who were crying out for exorcism, in the constituency of Hyndburn.

Andrew, Church is not a village it is a town - prior to 1974 it was an UDC, as were Great Harwood, Oswaldtwistle, Rishton and Clayton-le-Moors. Altham was a parish and formed part of Burnley Rural District Council and Accrington was a municipal borough.

Many of the residents of Church are heartedly sick of its status being dumbed down by Hyndburn Borough Council, especially as it is far older and more historic than most other parts of the Borough of Hyndburn.

By ignoring Church (and Altham) Karen Buckley is disregarding (and being disrespectful about) the 2 oldest and historic parts of the borough.

It might seem a little concentrated, because unlike all the other candidates, we've had so little time to find out about her, before the imminent election.

It also seems that with the local Tories wishing her ill, that there hasn't been much said that is positive, and I'm sure there must be something.

Personally, if I have any knockers, I rise to the challenge, and give 'em a good knockin' back.

I hope she has similar mettle.

I understand your summary of me. Pro Council Houses, anti Trident (spending it on Counter Terrorism), nationalisation of railways, curtailment of private sector excesses, fair tax system etc..

However I am not Hug a Hoodie. I think Labour's success in cutting crime is incredible (although the fear of crime has not fallen). We do need more youth facilities but the hard core need some sort of 'national service' or disciplined guidance whilst they are young.

I would like to see welfare reform to encourage people to be rewarded for working (which Labour is doing). I want to see unemployment benefit increased/extended as part of an insurance scheme but those hiding on welfare, particular the criminal and anti-social see their welfare cut in short.

We need to deal with the issues of immigration, which we are, it's just never advertised. We should stay out of the EURO and we were right to go to Afghanistan in some form. Hardly socialist.

Many northern MP's are similar. To the right on justice, welfare, to the left on social justice for those that play by the rules.

As an example: In the end, feeling sorry for people who go on to wreck Council Houses gave Council Houses such a bad name none have been built in recent times and ORDINARY people who would appreciate a Council House have subsequently been denied.

Whilst people abuse welfare, those entitled sit under a cloud and who knows with the next Tory government. The innocent will pay because of the guilty. It's up to Labour to identify those that do not respect societies charity or else the Tories will delight in ending that charity such as Council Houses.

I see the Fylde Conservatives have chosen a local candidate in Blackpool South, to try and win back the seat from Labour.

He certainly plays up his ties to the locality, and seems to think it important.

He's so local, he says he was born on the promenade.

I hope it wasn't on a Bank Holiday!

'To the evident frustration of ConservativeHome, Tories in Hyndburn earned the dubious distinction of being the last constituency in England to pick their candidate despite its description in the latest edition of The Almanac of British Politics as a ”classic Labour-Conservative marginal”. It has now emerged that this was the result of convoluted brinkmanship between local members and CCHQ, who were “desperate” to stop Cllr Britcliffe being selected for the third time since 1997.

No, these knockers are much less perky.

I recently posted a link from a website promoting Ms. Buckley, but quoted some pseudo-Latin on her site, which was quite rightly reported, for not being English, and removed from our forum.

In the same post she also said on this that she supported 'flexible working hours for all parents'.

I commented that was fine if you worked for a large company, but not very feasible if you're a butcher on Accy Market, a landlord from Clayton, or worked for a small family run firm in Ossy.

Strangely the comment, and indeed the site seems to have now vanished into the ether.

Well, the latin passage is that "rhubarb, rhubarb" stuff that designers put on an ad, piece of literature or website, when the design and headlines have been decided on, but the body copy hasn't been written. In other words, it was a work in progress and somebody cocked up by releasing it into the public domain prematurely. It would seem that they've realised their mistake and withdrawn it...which perhaps shows that someone from the Buckley camp does read Accyweb!

Since there's apparently been so little support for the imposed candidate, certainly from the local Conservatives here in Hyndburn, and sadly very little in this thread, so far, perhaps I shouldn't have said 'knockers', but should have chosen a singular noun.

Read your post, couldn't argue with what you said though I find it hard to understand Council Housing being classed as 'charity', I always thought they came into being to cover the basic needs and rights for all to be housed in decent accommodation at a reasonable rent this I wouldn't class as charity.

It is a shame however as you rightly say that people abuse both the properties and the welfare system that ensures these things are available.

If, as is rumoured, the local Conservative Association is hoping for Karen Buckley to fail, in the hope that there is another General Election, because no one party has a workable majority, and that there'll then be some leverage to argue with CCO, that you should be given the right to chose your own candidates, isn't that an easy decision for you?

Surely in the hope of that plan coming to fruition, there is only one possible candidate to vote for, to ensure that happening?

Why?

As pointed out earlier, being influenced by much respected family members of differing political pursuassion, I look at who I think will be the best candidate at each different election, weighed against the policies of the party they represent. Which means in the past I've not always voted one particular way.

If a candidate inspired me, regardless of political colour, I'd give their candidacy consideration, and could very well be pursuaded to give them my X

In honour of Ms Buckley, I've wrote a poem:

There was a young lady from the Fylde
Whose views were exceedingly wild
In her quest for political glories
She was adopted by the local Tories
But not all of them were very happy
Including Britcliffe, an Oswaldtwistle Chappie
Now it looks like the winner will be Jones
And already we hear the opposition groans
As he is certain to take the seat
And his victory will be complete
So the lady will return to the coast
And the Tories will just be toast.

Good, innit! I think I should have been the poet laureate.

To all who want it and respect it, well lots want it Graham, but do they all respect it, I think not.
