This is going to be a very difficult contest, but if the successful candidate does hold the seat next May it should really be classed not as a a ‘hold’ but as a ‘ Liberal Democrat gain from conservative!’
“Five vie to succeed Jeremy Browne …”: sounds like another title from the pen of the late Enid Blyton!
what unusual names the candidates seem to have!
Justine Baker has I think already been selected as candidate for Bridgwater. Is it within the party rules for her to apply for another seat at the same time as already being a prospective PPC?
