7 years ago @ Conservative Home - Farage's Trump card? · 0 replies · +1 points

An interesting solution to Mrs May's problems with Farage would be to see him enobled and got out of the way, what I mean is make him UK Ambassador to US. Trump could easily reciprocate and make Mrs Clinton US Ambassador to UK. A nice little exchange programme. I wouldn't mind seeing less of Farage and more of Mrs Clinton in the UK.

I would like to see either Theresa May, Phillip Hammond or Graham Brady; my No.1 choice would be Graham Brady.

What I am a keen advocate for at this current time, or until the next General Election is a National Government which will be in the national interest to do so and to stem the national crisis that is beginning to engulf us and causing a dis-United Kingdom.

Howard would be a very good choice for Commissioner but I think the best candidate for role if she is not promoted in reshuffle would be Theresa Villiers.

I must admit that we have a lot to do in the North of England. The only reason that UKIP are getting ahead in the North is because they are tapping into the psyche of the disgruntled Labour voter which is natural territory for the BNP. Look what happened to the BNP, there bubble burst and they have somewhat consigned to electoral history, the same will happen to UKIP...not overnight but in time. I believe that UKIP's current victories will not necessarily translate into success at the general election. We must however do more to discuss more about immigration, Europe and welfare and also from my discussions on the doorstep, defence.

9 years ago @ Conservative Home - It's all about turnout · 0 replies · +1 points

I think turnout will be poor particularly due to environmental factors - rain and voter apathy. My guess would be we will probably see a turnout of 41/42%.
My election prediction is:
UKIP: 35%
Labour: 28%
Conservatives: 21%
Lib Dems: 9%
Greens: 7%

I always thought Mr. Farage had a case of a foot in mouth disease but now he has put both of his feet in his mouth at the same time and now has no leg to stand on.

To Mr. Legard's credit at least he has some connection with the area being a Councillor for the Wolds Ward in Ryedale District Council and he is a barrister in York.

I hope Boris will not be "parachuted" into Malton and Thirsk. Even though it is a safe seat he would be in for one hell of a ride and be cannon fodder for not only any Independent Conservatives so to speak or any local candidates, particularly if UKIP were to field one. The best is for Boris if he does seek a seat is to seek one in the South...North West Hampshire is a much better bet. Localism is key to us winning and holding onto seats in the North not having cronies of anyone or anyone with no connection to the area being parachuted in.

Colonel Stewart would be a good choice. My choices would either be David Davis, Desmond Swayne or Nicholas Soames.
