Wakefield drawing is drawing attention to itself.
Dramatic headlines in the Mirror.

They fail to mention the events of the last few days.
Whether one agrees with other people's politics or not , impeding people from campaigning is wrong in a free country.
I’ve just read the link.
These are the people you want to champion?
Not at all , but they have a right to be a part of the de.ocrati process
They are a minority bit like the people they attack.Not at all , but they have a right to be a part of the de.ocrati process
Obviously a bigger story down my way.Violent political grouplet needs theatrical stunts to garner attention. The real news in Wakefield will be the size of Labour's majority. So great have Tory efforts to depress expectations been that they would hail a narrow Devon win as success. Truth is Johnson is now electoral poison.
Obviously a bigger story down my way.
The local political show was all about this on Sunday and I was amazed by how many still supported Johnson.
Wtf ?
Honestly?
I’d say that out of those asked, seven out of ten said he was doing a good job.
Unfortunately the Labour lady came across pretty rubbish.
The Liberal guy spoke well but the Tory lady was slick and nailed it.
Honiton born and bred. Bought up her family in the town. Dedicated to the people etc.
Cannily fenced off the Johnson question.
My impression is that she will win it.
Probably not with the same majority, but then a new person never does.
Are you fairly close geographically?Obviously a bigger story down my way.

45 minutes from Tiverton Chris.Are you fairly close geographically?
The BBC report I read appears to be saying that the Tories are in serious danger of losing the rural voters. Rising costs of fuel and lack of options as regards gas and electricity means higher costs .
Personally it sounds too close to call .A lot of Tories are well pissed off that could turn out to be a massive own goal by Johnson. I don't believe the Liberal Democrats can win it without help.But Boris could cost more votes than they need.
You are right. Except he is a Tory are there are many Tories who feel the same way that number is growing.He’s just stating the obvious.
Johnson is totally divisive.
Millions like him.
Millions dislike him.
Until further notice , you are stuck with himYou are right. Except he is a Tory are there are many Tories who feel the same way that number is growing.
I’ve just noticed my glaring grammatical error in the thread title, but can’t change it.
Oh well, it MIGHT be pertinent.
I sometimes think the born, raised and still living local aspect of politicians is often overlooked.
As SS says, the Tory woman is local to the area and that resonates with most voters far more than having a bumbling, lying, arsehole of a leader that flees scrutiny at the drop of a hat.
