If, by some miracle, the Labour Party starts to look like any kind of threat, the seat will go back to the Tories at the next General Election. If Labour remain as shit as they are, it won't matter anyway as the Conservative majority wll be returned by the North.Northishnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-627081175329856970.post-21316383646910180112021-06-18T16:50:33.007+01:002021-06-18T16:50:33.007+01:00I see a few issues in play. . . . . .

A two or three decades ago our long serving and well respected Conservative MP was killed when his house burned down. Central Office parachuted 'their' candidate into the by election (a well qualified Local Politician, but from some distance away) despite local pleas for a local candidate. The seat went to the LibDems who held it for a couple of General Elections.decninehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13596065522088717061noreply@blogger.com
