He would have been alright. It helps to be a local in these seats. He is a one time strawberry farmer with his own roots, in the constituency.<BR/>It is down his street that he calls a cauli a broccoli and that they boil daffodils instead of potatoes, for supper. Aberdeen caught fish is smoked in Cornwall and called Smokies.<BR/>Julia Goldsworthy is also closely local to George and both would have had a good fight.<BR/>Things changed two years ago when local conservatives were kicked out of the conservative party for supposedly being in league with UKIP. George a former UKIPPER and UKIP PPC would now find it difficult to get a place as a tory PPC in cornwall. Former tories would cry foul and cause a lot of trouble, as would the Press, who would have a field day. The source of trouble in this constituency can be traced back to a guy called Bradley, whose behaviour sparked of a sequence of events which has caused nothing but grief for the few remaining conservatives. <BR/>I think it is safe to say that when the Liberal Democrats chose a new leader, the County of Cornwall will stay solidly Liberal. It would be a bonus for the libs if Goldsworthy became Deputy.<BR/>On the other hand a large group of real conservatives and right wingers are planning their own campaign. Cornwall has always been solidly Independent and Local, and has historically been a force to reckon with.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6214838.post-25324282607538103792007-10-27T08:34:00.000+01:002007-10-27T08:34:00.000+01:00Tough decision for Coulson to make.
