I am not surprised the Conservatives have gained and retained so many seats in the local elections if my ward is anything to go by. I received the expected leaflet from the Conservative candidate but nothing at all from any of the four other candidates. Anybody wanting to vote for one of these four candidates would have had to choose from the list someone they knew absolutely nothing about. In some cases not even their name.

How on earth do these candidates expect to win or deserve support, or hope to be elected?
