Conservative candidate named.

They sound like good questions. I retract my "If there is something". You're obviously very interested in finding out. Her number is on Karen Buckley - Conservative PPC for Hyndburn, just at the top under the main header, let us know how you get on.

Excuse me?

This won't do at all, it's a situation where, 'the mountain should come to Mohammed', she wants the job, rindy is prepared to interview her for it.

Get her off her backside and out amongst the people she claims she wants to wholeheartedly represent.

:mad:

Very true.

Unfortunately I never got to ask the last Conservative candidate my questions face to face, but had to email poor James Mawdsley, because he never came a knockin'.

You can't beat meeting someone face to face, to help further judge their sincerity.

I'll give this candidate a little longer, before having to settle for finding out answers to my questions, in a less personal way.

I'm sure she will. Was just pointing out how Garinda could contact her if he wanted the questions answered right now.

It must be reassuring for him to get advice from our local, 'Political Expert', however would he have managed without the input from a guy spending a couple of gap years away from serving behind the counter at Macdonalds?
:)

As stated, as I had to resort to other ways of communicating at the last General Election, rather than asking the Conservative candidate my questions face to face, I'm quite aware that there are other, less personal mediums available to us, the electorate.

I'm just hoping it doesn't come to this again.

I remain hopeful of hearing a genteel tap on my knocker, in the very near future.

It must be exciting.

I can't recall that particular member being very vocal, or as helpful in doling out advice, at the last General Election.

Perhaps they were to busy kickin' a ball about, in the playground.

My house didn't get a knock from any of the candidates, or their teams, last time. More than often candidates go with teams canvassing and therefore it's not always the candidate who knocks on your particular door.

Less, I clearly missed a trick. I could have been working there and earning a degree at the same time. :D McDonald’s A level in running a burger bar - Times Online

I was fortunate then, to speak to all the other main candidates, other than the Conservative candidate, and ask my questions face to face, at the last General Election.

Perhaps you personally didn't get this chance, because at the last General Election your age meant you were ineligible to vote, so it wasn' worth their while knocking on your door to speak to you personally.

I didn't live by myself Garinda. :rolleyes:

Yes but you'll find when most politicans are out canvassing, and a child opens the door, they'll usually ask if their mummy or daady is in, so they can try and secure the vote of those people who are actually eligible to go to the polling station on election day.

Probably about as much use as these NVQ'S on fire extinguisher spotting that folk are being encouraged to do.

I've helped a few people on a variety of those courses and they and I can tell you the different types of fire extinguishers there are, but none of us seemed to learn anything useful, (that's not saying fire extinguishers aren't useful), about their particular jobs!

Besides asking if someone wants, "Potatoes, canola oil, hydrogenated soybean oil, safflower oil, natural flavour (vegetable source),
dextrose, sodium acid pyrophosphate (maintain colour), citric acid (preservative), dimethylpolysiloxane (antifoaming
agent) and cooked in vegetable oil (Canola oil, corn oil, soybean oil, hydrogenated soybean oil with THBQ, citric
acid and dimethypolysiloxane)", with that?" Instead of fries,
just because you can, isn't clever.

Which has what to do with the price of fish? :rolleyes:

Can make damn good fries though. ;) :D

Just explaining why perhaps you personally didn't see any candidate at the last election, besides your ineligibily...you might have been playing out when they called, or tucked up in bed at the time.

You needn't have bothered trying to explain. The explanation is very simple; there wasn't a knock from any of the candidates. That or everyone was out, and they failed to leave a calling card or come back.

Perhaps the responsible adult at your home foolishly threw away any political literature that was posted through your door, along with pizza and Indian takeaway menus etc.

I remember someone once posting on here that they'd never had any literature regarding even the local elections, and therefore had no idea who her council candidates were, leaving them dreadfully confused, because they didn't know how to find out, until I helpfully gave advice about how to find out this important information.

Or perhaps you were all upstairs, listening to nursery rhymes too loudly on a casette recorder, and couldn't hear them banging away.

It might be the case that your's was the only house in Hyndburn not to be disturbed by canvasers, or campaigners posting election pamphlets through your door, and for some reason you're on a blacklist.

I had a couple of friends, one banged up for murder, and the other who thought he was a bird, who were similarly undisturbed at the last General Election.

Perhaps you would bother to find out personal circumstances before ploughing head first and making links into something you know nothing about. Not that it has a place on these forums. :rolleyes:

I think I'm best suited to know what happens in my own home, without needing you to pass judgment trying to explain what might of 'actually' happened. :rolleyes:
