Conservative candidate named.

probably should be a new thread , but does anyone have any comments about the other candidates who have been knocking on their doors , from the BBC website it seems there are 4 or 5 others standing against G Jones and K Buckley. Could any of the others be "spoilers" for the two main candidates

(Andrew B or Garinda feel free to set up a new thread poll/comments thread featuring about how Accy web users feel about all the candidates) ;)

Liberal Democrat - Andrew Rankine

Conservative - Karen Buckley

Green - Kerry Gormley

Christian Peoples Alliance - Kevin Logan

Labour - Graham Jones

English Democrats - Chris Reid

Hyndburn (UK Parliament constituency) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Incidentally, the first thread about a candidate in the forthcoming General Election, and started by myself, was way back in September.

The list of all the candidates is there, and available for all to access, if they can be bothered to look, but those in the press didn't cut and paste as neatly as from Wikipedia.

There doesn't seem to be much cohesion or co-operation, between the two Conservative camps, currently campaigning for the elections.

Just after lunch a new flyer landed on the mat, from Karen Buckley. Same old, same old, but there was a message from Ken Barlow/Bill Roache. He lived in Rossendale years ago, before moving away, so his link to Hyndburn seems as tenuous as Ms. Buckley's claims to be 'local'. Which made him odd choice to have on her literature.

In the late afternoon the bell rang, and there was Cllr. Addison, campaigning for Peter Britcliffe.

It was good to have some verbal communication with at least one of the two disparate bodies that are currently operating in Hyndburn, under the banner of the Conservative party.

Didn't get any responses to the original question , anyone care to comment who they think "strategic" voting will affect the most .......Will local disaffected (Dummies out of the pram)Tories go for UKIP or the Lib-Dems and give Jones an easy victory ? Will traditional "hard working tax paying employed" Labour voters switch to the BNP as a reaction to Labours image as being a soft touch for the 'feckless and immigrants' or will they go for the Lib-Dems or just abstain
thanks
 
got stuck behind a bus today in traffic which isnt the most pleasant experience at teh best of times with the fumes working their way into your car but to have a great big whopping conservitive karren buckley poster staring at you while you choke on the fumes just adds insult to injury.

mind you it was a red bus so i was getting mixed signals,surely there are some blue busses that they could have used or somthing but anything other than red ones surely :confused:

Er, yes you did.

You got one reply, from myself.

Pointing out that the first offically named candidate to have their own thread, and who incidentally wasn't from one of the main parties, was about the Christian Peoples (sic) Alliance candidate.

;)

No visit off the elusive Karen, but a nice leaflet with recommendation of Bill Roach, he's on telly so they say...
So had a leaflet off the three main parties and Rev Kev so far, any more to come?
 
i think the other candidates have forgotten my area .. ive got a leaflet from graham jones, i got one from karen buckley that was in the accy observer ... but none from any other candidate ...
 
I've had a leaflet off Graham Jones, plus received two copies off the Labour Councillors leaflet in the Accy Obs. I've also been phone canvassed by the Labour party. I've had a letter off Peter Britcliffe and a small flyer through the door for Karen Buckley.

The only visit that I've had so far was from a Conservative canvasser who was campaigning on behalf of Peter. Towards the end of the conversation she asked if I'd received Karen's full leaflet, which I hadn't so she gave me one.

So basically the two main parties are trying fairly hard to get my vote. I'm just hoping the others don't forget us because I really do want to know more about all the parties this time. I would class myself as a floating voter for this election so I need to make an informed decision.
