As a Hendon constituent, where Andrew Dismal has less than a 3,000 majority, I've been surprised by the lack of Tory literature to appear on my doormat. In fact, I haven't seen anything in over a year. I appreciate that Hendon may be regarded as a seat that might fall on a national swing but that sounds like a big gamble to me given Dismal's personal vote.
