I am hearing no bells......just a nasty buzzing noise.(note to self......Otex drops might sort it?).
I will not be voting for Mr Logan either.......for a few reasons.

1) He is too old....and yes, I do know that that may appear ageist, and there have been some elderly men involved in politics in the past. Some of whom have done a passable job....but maybe this was because they embarked on a political career earlier/had some background in politics.
Politics is not a cakewalk, and it would be very rigorous to have to travel to and from London and the local constituency....hazardous to the health of an elderly man.

2) To stand as a candidate for the CPA(who incidentally, I have never heard of before) is a waste of time.
Mr Logan talks about a lot of high flown ideas on how to repair this country.......as part of a minority party he would not have a hope in hell of having any influence in any of the policies that he says he feels need to be addressed.
I also think that Hyndburn would lose all credibility by putting a minority party candidate into parliament........it would confirm the Londoners assumptions that we up North are a sandwich short of a picnic.
3)Mr Logans background in the Church would be detrimental to him, inasmuch as he would have quite narrow views and ideas.....these have been formed over the years by his Christian dogmas. An MP for the area needs to be able to represent all of his constituents equally and without judgement of their life style choices.

No, Mr Logan, save your deposit. Stick with your writings in the Lancashire Telegraph and leave politics to those younger folk.
