Tory PPC for Wirral West - connections to Thatcherite Conservative Way Forward group, minor local telly presenter, contested and lost the seat before; doesn't have much (anything?) to say on policy, supports various innoffensive campaign groups (women in business, victims rights, local parks, whatever). Will probably win the seat.

"Faith schools should be legally obliged to teach that homosexuality is "normal and harmless", and gay civil partnerships should be replaced by true marriage, Nick Clegg said last night." The more explicit Clegg is about Lib Dem policy, the more I want a hung parliament.

Barack Obama: How He Did It
