This is definitely a tactic by both parties.... Dorothy did say that she lost her seat on the LCC due to national issues, so this is probably why no big mention of her party.
Judith, on the other hand, is pushing the Tory party like crazy in the hope it will work again.
A shame really that most of the voting public will view it this way, and not consider which candidate will be the most useful.
Let's face it Jaysay, if the Torys put up a monkey, you would vote for it ...
