Went out with Andy Reed and others in Sileby yesterday talking to voters. Intrigued by the response of people I spoke to. Largely supportive of Andy, but hacked off with politics in general.
What does this show? I think it shows that when local associations choose local people as their candidate who have a genuine background and care for the area it can only be a good thing. I like Andy - it was largely because of him I joined the Labour party in the first place. He cares about Loughborough, he likes sport (never a bad thing), he's not afraid to vote against the party line, he's nice, he's a Christian. Sometimes maybe too nice, but I respect him and pleased that he's prepared to stand up and be counted.
Of course, the fact that he has come through the expenses thing unscathed also helps. ;)
