A false start to the race |
In a briefing to journalists, the CRE said it had circulated copies of the agreement for individual MPs to sign. Less than a third of Tories had done so, compared with 60 per cent of Labour MPs. Only three MPs, all Conservatives, had refused to sign on principle: they were James Cran, a whip, Eric Forth, a maverick Right-winger, and John Townend, the retiring MP who caused a storm by claiming that immigrants were undermining Britian's "homogeneous Anglo-Saxon society". |

Expect Tories to retain, but Lib Dems to move up into second place. Cran is cold and aloof, but his traditional supporters will vote for him despite the publivc view of Hague. Stewart Willie is far better known and liked than the previous Lib Dem candidate, and has the priceless advantages of being a local boy as well as Joint Leader of the East Riding Council. Labour's Langford is unlikely to gain much suport outside the bedrock areas of Withernsea and the depressed end of Beverley. Tories will fear the UKIP candidate, but should scrape in with about 2000 majority. |
