If we are forced to accept a short list from CCO yes, although there is another twist in this sorry still to come, don't know whether we've given your pet mole the story yet Graham

Since the Nu-Tories seem now to be as politically 'right on' as the loony-left councils of the eighties, they might impose a short-list of disabled, black lesbians, who wear hoodies and like hugging.

Does that mean the story was correct at one point but things have moved on?

After all, you selected Peter, Peter, pumpkin eater, twice...and he was defeated.

Then there was posh boy James Mawdsley you chose. He who seemed more obsessed with the people of Burma, rather than the people of the borough, and who lied on his election pamphlets about compulsory abortions...and he was defeated.

You never know, if Conservative central office impose a selection list on the local party, you might have more success at the next General Election, if you can only select a one legged, dusky dyke, who likes hugging.

I'm not that interested in your predilections Rindi

I'm not predicting anything.

It's just exciting who I'll be able to vote for.

The election could be called earlier than May, seeing as the gap between the two major parties is apparently narrowing. So you might have to make public your selected candidate sooner, rather than later.

The tension's making us all giddy with excitment.

I thought that would be obvious to anybody on here, as they certainly won't be wearing a Blue Rosette

Why will the person your Party chooses not be wearing a blue rosette?

I imagine Jaysay meant the person Garinda would be voting for would not be wearing a blue rosette.

I think the person Garinda votes for could very well be the Conservative candidate. Garinda likes to criticise the Tories here, but it's normally for being too soft, not hard right enough on various issues. It's therefore not likely he will vote Gordon Brown back in. Instead he will vote for the party he most associates with this time around, exactly the same as I'll be doing! I imagine he will never tell us though so we could all be right.

I've no idea who I'll be voting for.

A week, never mind a maximum of five months, is a long time in politics.

I do think it's rather arrogant, presuming who a person will vote for. That's the kind of narrow-mindedness that means some of the electorate are ignored, which could result in an election loss for some parties...yet again.

My vote will be a balanced choice, between party and person.

Since the only two people who are definitely standing so far are Graham Jones and Kevin Logan, I can say with all certainty, I won't be voting for the latter.

...when they are doing something idiotic. Just as I've praised them, on the rare occasion when they've done something good locally.

I've also criticised the government, who happen to be Labour. Calling them as morally corrupt as John Major's last hurrah, is a fairly scathing attack in my opinion.

Strangely though, even though I've made numerous attacks against the government, I'm yet to be accused of being anti-Labour.

Odd that.

I suppose it's not really that odd.
