The post you are reporting:
Vic, the more seats you stand for, the more chance you have of winning one!
This is a mathematical certainty.
The fact that the vast majority of people here don't vote, doesn't mean that you stand no chance! The non-voting, in fact, reflects on the oucome of all party-candidates.
The Tories have down played the best winning card they had, which would have been to promote actively the localism bill, but for some reason they do not do so.
At this point there is nothing new to vote for in the three-party ensemble, and this has sealed their fate in any elections in May here in Dover. Even Charlie MP could not get more than a 25% turnout on a local vital issue proposal at the parish poll.
With Pfizer on its way out, it's likely that masses of people will not see any reason in voting, as no alternatives to the economic plight are presented by anyone in the main 3 parties.
The Tories are playing on spendiing cuts, while at the same time upholding wild dreams of urban expansionism, and even if Charlie in person stood in May, he wouldn't get more than 25%!
