James Grey has shown his opposition to part of the Government’s pension reforms. Allegedly there is a growing backbench revolt on this ( according to the BBC ).

That’s according to the official notional figures from Rallings & Thrasher.

There was a small swing to the LDs using the UKPR figures.

I’ve been talking to friends with close connections in this constituency, and the general opinion is that there will be no big surprises here.

Mr Gray is widely considered to be odious by all of the people I spoke to (who are all Tory leaning). His treatment of his ex wife was pretty low – and his mistress also had a husband and family of her own, who were also devastated by what happened. Invoicing the taxpayer for his poppy wreath doesn’t play well either.

I have no doubt that there will be quite a few Tories abstaining here, and some voting UKIP, on account of the Gray factor. But my friends are of the opinion that this will simply not be enough to hand the seat to the Lib Dems. Ant-Gray feeling is likely to cause Tories to abstain or vote UKIP, but not switch directly to the Lib Dems; and with such a very low Labour vote anyway, it is hard to see the Lib Dems picking up much in the way of tactical voters.

I am now the UKIP candidate for North Wiltshire (see UKIP/UKIPSW website). Ellenor Bland is no longer associated with the North Wiltshire and Chippenham Branch of UKIP in any way, or as far as I am aware with UKIP as a party at all.
