Former council leader chosen as Tory candidate for second time
10:46am Sunday 10th March 2013 in News
By Luke Tugby, Senior reporter
Royston Smith
SOUTHAMPTON’S former civic chief has been selected to stand for MP in the city for a second time.
Councillor Royston Smith, who led Southampton City Council before being ousted by Labour last May, will stand for the Southampton Itchen seat in two years’ time.
The city's Tory leader has been chosen as the party's candidate to fight for the seat, which will be vacated by Labour's John Denham in 2015.
Cllr Smith, who currently represents the Harefield ward, fought the same seat in the 2010 General Election, dramatically losing out to Mr Denham by 192 votes.
But Cllr Smith said that his party have “unfinished business” in the constituency.
He said: “I am delighted to have been selected to contest this seat again. The next election may well be even more challenging than the last, but with the support of the dedicated team here in Southampton Itchen, I believe we have a very good chance of winning this time.
“At the selection meeting I laid out my reasons for wanting to fight the next election and why it was only this seat I would apply for.
“We have unfinished business. Not in the obvious 'we came so close last time' way, but in the alternative to a David Cameron led government.
“I am told the definition of insanity is to repeat the same thing over and over again and expect a different outcome.
“So if we don't make our case to the British public, ahead of the next general election, we will hand the country back to Ed Miliband and particularly Ed Balls who are committed to repeating their previous mistakes again.
“We have a duty to stop that nightmare scenario from becoming a reality.”
Writing on his online blog, Cllr Smith added: “I have chosen to seek selection again in Southampton Itchen because I was born here, I live here and I am staying here.
“Southampton is a truly fantastic city and can be even better than it is today.”
Cllr Smith's selection has drawn swathes of support from fellow Tories across the south.
The Conservative party's beaten candidate in the Eastleigh by-election, Maria Hutchings, said on social networking site Twitter: “Huge congrats on re-selection Royston! 2015 - bring it on!”
Conservative Party chairman Grant Shapps added: “Congrats to Royston Smith for being selected our prospective MP for Southampton Itchen.”
Outgoing constituency Chairman, Anthony Kolker said, “Royston has worked tirelessly for Southampton over many years and I am delighted we have re-selected him to fight the seat again.
“He has demonstrated his commitment to residents in the constituency by staying to contest another election.
“We feel privileged to have such a dedicated candidate.”

The previous Labour governments took us down every global league table that exists! It was like being a Premiership side relegated to Division 1! If you want to keep sliding all the way down, then keep on voting Labour!

If you think that Tory and LibDem Councils around Southampton are doing so much better, an example of that is Tory New Forest District Council charging Blue Badge holders to park, and Portsmouth City Council closing down public toilets.

It was always going to be a 5 year job to get some sort of stability and at least 10 years before it all settles down. Meantime, the mistakes of the Labour government has resulted in us falling behind our competitors and we face an uphill struggle to match the growing economies.

Ireland - our nearest and dearest neighbour. I suggest you read up on the deal but basically it means we lend money to Ireland at a profit. We borrow at very low rates and lend at a higher rate - not all in one lump but in installments. UK makes a PROFIT!! (Something the last government was incapable of doing!)

1/ more people at work is because of the population increase that is all. the % of the unemployed population is higher then its ever been, and to many people are working part time and only getting part time earnings.
This is the Capitalist answer to what the Socialist was trying to do in the 70's, but the difference is, the Socialist was trying to reduce the working week with out losing the power of earnings.
The problem is increase of the population and the advancement of technology will mean less jobs for people.
You can see what the 2 types of answers are, a Capitalist one that don't work, and a Socialist one that was not allowed to be tryed out and tested.

I wish people would stop using the Red Herring of millionaires as an excuse for all our ills!! (A lot of those Millionaires are Labour Party Members who built up HUGE Wealth Property Portfolios while in government and all because of their Policies!!!).
You neglect to mention that 1.4 Million will no longer pay Tax!!
14% of the population already pay 60% of the tax revenue!!
1% is paying 26.5% of Tax Revenue!
The UK relies on Free Trade. You need the UK to be a place where people want to do business and live, hence why we have Tax legislation geared to encourage people to do so. If you don't, they will leave! - And with it will leave the future!
The immigrants come here and do well so why can 't the indigenous population? (Because too many are too lazy and reliant on an overblown Welfare State made 10 times worse by Labour pouring in Billions and Billions of £s!)

As for the percentage of unemployed being ‘higher than ever been’, that again is nonsense. In December 2012 the rate was 7.8% of the economically active population = 2.50 million. In January 2012 (for example) it was 8.3% = 2.67 million. In 1992 unemployment reached 10.4%. The UK’s highest percentage of unemployment (since WW2) was 11.3% in August 1983.
So, yet again you are just making up statistics. It’s quite pathetic when these statistics are so easily available to all.
Concerning your stock market theory, wow!! Who would have thought that the market had a higher value before a crash than after. What an amazing observation.
