“Another failure for Brokenshire”
I am beginning to feel rather sorry for James Brokenshire. I think the reason why he has not been selected is because maybe he could be viewed as a ‘carpetbagger’ similar to many Tory MP’s who sought to find new seats in 1997 when they were either deselected or ‘afraid’ of losing their seat (which most did). I think that it may not be over if he does not get the Maidstone & The Weald selection tomorrow, as he would conntinue to wait until more retirements of Tory MP’s. I guess that another 15 to 20 Tory MP’s could retire yet.
January 19th, 2008 at 8:28 pmAs a ‘floating’ independent voter, I thank the conservative party for allowing me - the general public to attend and be able to vote for who -might be my next MP. The democratic way the election took place was very well organised and fair. The standard bench mark was very high indeed. I congratulate all the candidates for the professional way they delivered their pitch.
