General Discussion
I have to say that thought had gone through my head as well. And I'd say the same to any other candidates standing who are in a similar situation as Cllr Lowther. Q: If you know you would have to declare an interest on any issue relating to Warren Farm why haven't you taken steps to remove the cause of that interest?
Well, my thinking is this. That it is a priority issue for those of us who wish Richard to have a voice at TDC, via councillors elected in his own ward, and for those councillors to be able to vote on council matters that in anyway relate to Warren Farm. I see no point in my voting for any candidates who are on Richard's side but who would have to declare an interest and therefore not be ...
Re my post immediately above this one. Can someone who has more knowledge of council matters than myself comment on the point I raised concerning the obligation to declare an 'interest' in Warren Farm and the consequences of having to declare such an interest so that any councillor who has to do so then finds themselves not being able to speak and vote on anything to do with Warren Farm. ...

Thing is, thing is it isn't what the Lib Dems have achieved from their manifesto that registers with people it is the likes of the tuition fee debacle, their support for the bedroom tax and their support for other welfare cuts. Oh and then on top of that there has been five years worth of anti Labour rhetoric.
@burneside - so, if in this constituency there is zero chance of the labour candidate being elected who, of the other candidates, is more likely to stop the tory candidate being elected? For those who do not want a Tory government, whether a majority or a minority one, the logical thing to do is to vote in such a way as to stop as many Tories as possible from winning seats.
