Not sure what your point is but I have always thought politics should have a fun side too alongside the more serious one – otherwise, how are political parties going to entice new people to get involved? I have plenty of other recent blogs on more serious issues for those who want that, though I note that more people than usual have chosen to comment on this post, including you – so clearly it has hit some sort of chord! For the avoidance of doubt, there will be at least one more serious post before the polls open. All the best and make sure you vote!
My name is Nick Hillman and I was the Candidate for the Conservative Party in Cambridge for the 2010 General Election.
We secured the best result since 1976: an increase in our vote share of 8 per cent; moving from third to second; and securing a 7 per cent swing from the incumbents.
There is a lively and friendly local Conservative Association, which has its own website at: http://cambridgeconservatives.org.uk/.
Please support Cambridge Conservatives by making a donation.
You found it! Well done! I know this has been an ambition of yours for some time.
