I think Mr Elphicke seems pretty committed to the area and for that I can only commend him. He also seems like a decent bloke. The only problem I have is that I'm not whether he is representing Dover District in the Conservative party or representing the Conservative party in Dover District. This can be said of most of our 'representatives' in both the major parties (we can now forget the other) It is this very notion that dilutes democracy and certainly makes a sham of the concept of devolution.
Ultimately a seat for life can often bring with it complacency and certainly denies any kind of dialectic, which is not good for the electorate. I hope this would not be the case for Mr Elphicke.
As for Capel voting Tory, I have lots of friends in the village and they are most certainly of the blue persuasion. This makes perfect sense, as with all that fog it is barely possible to see past the end of your nose.
