I thought Conservative candidate, Karen Buckley, was wearing a blue one, when she was kicked by local Tories.

I can officially confirm that the Andrew Barrett in that elections WAS our own Andrew, who agree to stand as a PAPER candidate at this election

No it was nothing to do with Ms Buckley, the argument was with CNWAO not the lady herself

As stated, I only play to win.
I wouldn't ever be anyone's patsy.
Still, it takes all sorts, and perhaps losing will be character building, for those that need it.

Its quite obviously you've never been actively involved in politics, there are some council seats which aren't winnable aka Spring Hill for the Tories, but to field a paper candidate means that you are giving those people who do vote Tory have a vote, Labour also use Paper Candidates as well, as Cllr Smith said on here recently,

As stated many times on here, I've never been a member of any political party.
Also as stated, if I was going to do anything, I'd do it to the best of my ability. Otherwise I'd see it as a complete waste of my time, and energy.
Again, as stated, it takes all sorts, and some people must be happy being used as patsies, but it wouldn't be me.
