[QUOTE="Tarw Coch, post: 8185082, member: 1008"] They thought that in north Shropshire, a local farmer came to give me a good talking to after I’d liked and shared a post on Facebook from the Lib Dem’s, basically to tell me how foolish I was, that a chimpanzee with a blue rosette could win in north Shropshire (his words not mine) and that he was going to stick a conservative plackard at the end of my drive, he had a pick up full of them. I didn’t care for his bully boy tactics, removed the conservative plackard and invited the Lib Dem’s to place one there instead. Not that I’m a supporter of the Lib Dem’s really but as a safe conservative seat we had had an MP who did little if anything for local matters and was only seen when he could get his face in the media, he was kicked out in disgrace and the tories were looking to plant an outsider, a city boy who knew nowt of rural matters into a safe seat. My support for the lib dems was as a protest at the way the tories treated the constituents of what they thought was a safe seat. If they learn from their mistake and field a decent local candidate at the next election they will have a good chance of getting my vote but it does seem that our new MP is working hard on local matters unlike her predecessor so they really will have to come up with an excellent candidate to regain my vote. Somehow the current government don’t inspire me with confidence that they have the ability to do that. [/QUOTE]
