A 3-way marginal, with national trends. Will probably go to whichever party can improve their numbers between now and election day. Labour incumbent standing down due to the after-effects of a car accident. Campaign getting nasty, with this story in the Mirror The people of Pudsey should avoid voting for Conservative double-ratter Stuart Andrew By Paul Routledge 16/04/2010 Voters in marginal Pudsey, West Yorkshire, may not know their Tory candidate is a double-ratter. They do now. Stuart Andrew was a Conservative councillor in Wrexham, north Wales, in the nineties, before defecting to Labour in 1998 over his party’s attitude towards homosexuals. Two years later, he re-ratted back to the Tories having seen the light once again. Andrew moved to Leeds where he became a city councillor in a Conservative-coalition authority that provoked a marathon strike by binmen last year by threatening to cut wages by 30%. How can you trust a Welsh double-ratter? Take my advice, good folk of Pudsey, and send Labour’s excellent man Jamie Hanley, a local trade union lawyer, to Westminster
