A big disappointment:
1. We got off to a poor start - she was 25 minutes late - "we were just chatting" - she may not have realised that I was on a tight schedule.
2. She came with the full party machinery intent on promoting their party - four of the Lib. Dem. team with Jane Carson, former SLDC councillor, smiling benignly. She clearly had no time to answer my detailed questions but was intent on pumping hands and being seen by as many potential votes as possible. But not seen long enough to reveal her lack of knowledge of local issues which comes with living in Broughton. Her poorly produced leaflet all about the liberals and not her reflect this approach
I put it to her that she would stand more chance in four year's time as an Independent when she could be free from her party 'entourage'. By that time she could have dcemonstrated her interests in local problems and the action she is willing to take.
Do politicians really believe that they can win votes by just showing their faces? It would appear so.
I am following up with some questions that I shall put to all four candidates with enough time for them to reflect and give their considered answers.

Poor Tim
You were told your party was finished (TRUE)
You were told you got into bed with the Cons (TRUE)
You were told your claims were crumbs of a big table(TRUE)
You were told you propped up evil policies. (TRUE)
No wonder you blinked and stammerd when you lied !(TRUE)
You need more training, a public school perhaps.(TRUE)
You are the pondlife , forelock toucher the Cons use.(TRUE)
You and your fellow libs have sold us out.(TRUE)
You are prostituting yourselves(TRUE)
What could you have acheived outside the Toff's bed? A sense of decency,and a less painfull bottom.

I still want to stick up for the guy.
I thought he did well on question time last night. He shows that he speaks out against the Tories and achieves what changes he can.
Better surely than unbridled Conservatism.
Galloway let himself down.
And Yvette Cooper was appauling.
Why do politicians insist on slagging off the opposition over the smallest detail.
Wouldn't it be good if they said more things that are complimentary of each other?
