Hmmm, not really much help, but
laying con/lab/lib at near to 100% would appeal,.. |
|
By:
It would make political sense to stand an anti sleaze candidate. None of the opposition parties are doing well and have no chance and nothing to gain but an anti sleaze candidate will keep the bad news in the news for the Government .
I still cannot believe how badly the Liberals p,shed their hand against Johnson at his impotent best. Should have arranged a vote of no confidence first rather than agreeing to a General Election. |

I couldn't believe they would give
away the upper hand, but was a race to obscurity, via lack of foresight. |

By:
The only way to rid ourselves
of this cabal of crooks is to find a unity candidate. If he's a solid ex tory, all well and good. |

people forget now jo swinson was the leader of the lib dems. think you could safely say it was one of the most disastrous campaigns ever run by an alleged major political party

I couldn’t even remember her name but she was the one responsible for the oven ready deal!
What a dope! |

I would love to see Rory Stewart back in Parliament
Labour missing a trick here. Too vain to consider defeating a Tory in a safe seat. |
|
By:
A very talented and honourable politician who would be a tremendous asset to Westminster.
|
|
By:
Rory Stewart had it right a year ago.

anti sleaze candidate.
How could anyone stand on that ticket, when the fiddles available are the main reason for wanting to become an MP? |

Politician = vermin. Some of the t0sspots on here still believe in them

. Mike seems to think that the LibDems have a reasonable chance of winning. |
|
By:
Aye, he often does.
Needs to start the bandwagon and far more chance of lib dems capturing protest vote. Tory candidate choice could be big too. Probably best a well vetted one... |
|
By:
This looks really tough for the Libdems. A 60% leave seat where they finished with 10% of the vote last time.
|
|
By:
Having said that, they clearly have the best by election machine of all parties and a high protest anti corruption vote is likely.
|
|
By:
Mountain to climb, but surely
they have best chance. |
|
By:
I would vote for Rory Stewart. The man in the white suit might also be up for it.
Labour and the Lib nice but dim really screwed things up when they had Doris by the short and curlies. Should have do 3 h8m with a vote of no confidence first and then if necessary made an anti Tory Scum Pact. Right now they should both be trying to hold Doris to the fire but they will let ego destroy both of them. |

By:
Rory Stewart is no longer a member of the Tory party.
I am a fan. He is genuine, and has nuts. |

. Interesting. |

She said she would not have challenged Mr Paterson, who she described as a "man of integrity".
Bizarre |
|
By:
very good , at last .

Would be nice to see Paterson stand as an independent
 |
|
By:
And get elected

What price would you like?

Would you like it priced
up v elvis and John lennon too? |
|
By:
According to the Sunday Times today, Wendy Chamberlain ( LD chief whip) called Martin Bell on Friday to ask him to be the LD candidate here.
|
|
By:
Smart of her if true but to have a chance of winning it needs to be a struggle shootout between an anti sleaze candidate, Tory Scum and of course The Official Monster Raving Looney Party. We will just have to hope that The Monster Raving Looney Party do not split the looney vote.
