Whereas 'our' Charlie, losing Aylesham and gaining Sandwich, could find himself being in a safe(r) Tory Seat?

Good news for Rosie Duffield if that happens, I seem to remember that Hawkinge was supposed to be coming under Dover constituency.

The real concerns is a stitch up again to enable one party to keep control.
Just chatting on Ms Duffield, if I'm hearing correctly there was a move to unseat her, because she may have disagreed with the leader?
blimey these are troubled waters lol

The Aylesham vote is up for grabs ,but Tory councillors on Dover district council keep supporting bad planning decisions,, against the community's wishes, are doing them no favours?

that party you on about is only in government, because the labour party has removed itself from its core British working class voters.

How do you work that out? If the Labour Party could still attract it's core vote then they'd be 20 points ahead in the opinion polls. Voting Labour is too risky for many of its traditional voters and once they lose their moderate MP's to the new left candidates, their vote will drop further.

Both main parties are controlled by cliques now who have no understanding of their core support.
Watch closely the "dead and buried" UKIP who ate into both support 3 years ago and have risen in time to destroy the Tories in marginals if they went for a General Election any time soon.

UKIP will get those who veer to the right but will not vote Tory, LibDems will get those who veer to the left but will not vote Labour.
That is how both parties continue to exist but the chance of either of them being the main party at Westminster is zero unless some kind of miracle happens.

UKIP have had influence on who gets elected and probably would do again if a General Election was held tomorrow. In 2015 disaffected Labour voters switched to them in marginals and this time Eurosceptic Tories would vote for them. The Lib Dems should always have a presence in the Commons as their members tend to be good constituency MPs rather than lobby fodder for their party.

The boundary changes have not been implemented as yet according to DDC.

They have put out there final submission and agreed to the wards put forward by the 2 political parties.
Yes Sue I put in my ideas and the boundary commission accepted the strong argument but failed to act on it.
Quite rightly tower hamlets has some community forum
but no more so than priory which wasn't even mentioned, yet tower hamlets was.
