Nearing an Election?

Well the rumour mill is spinning, and just as furiously as usual.
People keep telling me that Gordon Brown is going to call an election next week.
in fact I've encountered two main schools of thought:-

1. He'll call it tomorrow and thus avert disaster during the conference regarding cutting the powers of unions. Throwing the whole country into uproar and disturbing the Conservatives peace of mind
2. He'll call it at the end of conference, thus overshadowing everything said during conference and everything that happens the week after in Blackpool.

Then I personally don't see him calling one at all, alas I'm generally overly optimistic about these things. hell even in 2001 there was still a part of me that thought we may win!

And on a seperate note,

Ivan Lewis has announced that he doesn't want to play the blame game with regards to Prestwich town center. Probably because he is partly to blame, alongside the local Lib Dem and Labour councillors. Having taken Prestwich for granted for too many years it is now coming back to haunt them. Over the past 10 years or so the degredation of the town center has continued unabated.
It seems to me that when something has gone wrong nationally it is overspill from Conservative government, however Mr Lewis has been an MP for 10 years now, no wonder he doesn't want to play the blame game!

Started Canvassing

I started canvassing earlier this week, and already I've found issues that are worrying people! I'm hoping to get as many of these sorted as quickly as I can. Also made a visit to the Same Yet to wet my throat afterwards, it's a few years since I was last there and it's looking really nice, might take a trip up there for a meal soon.

Bury South had a Stand Up Speak up event on Monday, it led to some lively debate and thoughts put forth on how what we think are some of the major problems our public services have to deal with and how we feel a future Conservative Government should work. All our ideas will be sent to the Conservative Party for consideration. You too can make a difference with our policy, click onto http://standupspeakup.conservatives.com/ and have your say!

I now have a number for you to call me on, if I don't answer leave a message with your name and Number and I'll get back to you. Or alternatively text me on it again with your name and address and I'll call you back as soon as possible.
