Just up the road from me is 'Tractor' Parish's old seat (Tory). That swung back to the LibDems after he was caught viewing images of naked John Deeres on his phone.
My MP is Mel Stride. It would take an earthquake to elect a Labour candidate here. I'll probably vote for him, or maybe the LibDems. Not that it would make any difference. 😋
Sandy i wonder if the Donaldson affair will taint the DUP. They're probably lucky the whole grisly details will only come out well after the election.
Meanwhile here: Conservative. Won't change. I'll vote Labour tho they came third last time.
Next door, which is a great yards down the road, is more interesting : almost certainly will go Lib Dem
Ours went Tory in 2019 with a tiny majority of 663. The first time it had been Tory for 50 years, obviously because of Brexit. It will disappear at the next election and be split into two, Heywood and Manchester Blackley. Previously it had been one, called Heywood and Middleton. TBH, I'm not sure which one we will be in as we're right on the border.
"...on 4th July, the electorate in each constituency will vote for the candidate most likely to represent their interests in parliament"
I won't.
I shall be voting against the party I'd least like to see form a government (Labour) and for a party most likely to win the seat apart from them (Conservatives).
There is no candidate or party currently jockeying for my vote who will represent my interests in Parliament. So I will have to do what I've done on many of the occasions I've voted - try my best to keep Labour out of power. I've lived under Labour governments. Been there, done that, and couldn't afford a T-shirt at the end of it.
I fear I may be out of luck this time. I don't blame anybody for voting against the current so-called Conservatives. But they need to be careful what they wish for.
