I was just hoping there must be at least one local Tory activist, not angered by the imposed candidate, willing to give her a hand.

I know Garinda, but would still like to see the figures ... if you can google it, may be helpful ... I have tried but can't get them.

Hyndburn has been 'locally' represented since Ken won in 1983, and there does seem to be some weight to the argument that people have a preference for someone knowing the local area well.

Davidson was only defeated by 21 votes though.

Hyndburn Conservative Association certainly think so.

:rolleyes:

Stop it off! We don't want him disappearing again. As Jaysay said, he's a sensitive lad! ;)

Although as you've informed us, the majority of the local Conservative Association have turned their backs on her, and aren't offering any help or funding, surely there must be one or two young Cameronites in Hyndburn, who'll go on the knock with her, and help with any lickin'?

Oh perhaps there isn't two, as you hinted when we discussed the sedan chair?

One?

Come on, we must be able to muster at least one willing sap.

Well given the fact there is a full local election with one third of the seats up for grabs I'm sure Karen will get mention, something like oh by the way can Karen Buckley also rely on your support at the General:D
