The problem with this election is that because people know not a jot about the candidates, those few bothering to get out and vote will essentially vote along party lines. So if you pin a rosette on a donkey he is just as likely to be voted in. A red donkey or indeed a blue donkey, maybe even shock horror.. an orange donkey..whichever faction manage to get their numbers out most will win it. The identity of the individual on the ballot paper wont count for anything because nobody knows anything at all about any of them..who are they? Have they all beamed down from the stratosphere in that last meteor shower? perhaps Felix Baumgarner brought them back with him.
Budgets will play a big part. At the moment it appears most of the candidates have no budget at all, apart that is from yon Tory chappie Craig MacKinlay who has managed a bit of media blitzing. Here is a recent picture of him with Thanet South MP Laura Sandys.which they sent to us previously. At least we know now what this one candidate looks like.
PS: I had to have a double take there for a minute to make sure they werent holding hands..otherwise..big scoop!
Now that would be interesting...
