Lets hope none of them hold their breath. I can’t wait for the election. My first question to the candidate with the guts to knock at my door. Which promises are you prepared to ditch for a place in Government this time… or do you REALLY mean it this time.? And to think they even got me delivering leaflets for them at the last election because I believed Clegg.
We all remember Clegg’s video from the last election. Unfortunately plenty of other people believed him as well, but never again.

It’s worth noting that these dates are the closing dates for applications, not when the selections will actually take place. The chosen candidate s in these seats might not be known for some time.
