Hague visits to boost Tory chances in Eastleigh (From Daily Echo)

Torys are desperate to win this by-election they can not afford to lose it.

Vote for the TUSC candidate, like all TUSC candidates they will do the MP's job on a working mans wage and no expenses saving the country a little bit of tax payers money, they also offer the vote on the EU.

"Mr Hague said despite the recent spate of economic bad news in the area, which includes the loss of Ford Factory in Swaythling, he defended the Conservative's record."

Where was the Torys when the Ford workers was out on strike to save there jobs, just like Labour, Lib/Dems, Greens, UKIP and BNP no where to be seen, No support to the workers only condeming them for striking to save there jobs.
But oh look a by-election and now they are worried the whole lot of them, The only ones that was there to support the Ford Workers and there strike to save jobs was the Socialist Party and the TUSC, no other party around to be seen.

For a moment I thought I was reading a national newspaper, which would explain why "Lower Brook Road" has shops - there is no such road in Hedge End, but I could understand (barely) a national reporter getting the name of the road wrong. Then I realised I was reading the Southern Daily Echo - hello?

Why are all these heavyweight Tory toffs bothering the people of Eastleigh, is there a by-election coming or something?

Never seen them before, and we won't see them again after Feb 28th. We'll just all see the Tory tax increases.

The hotels must be doing a roaring trade with all this media turning up for the election circus. Radio 5 next week, BBC TV for question time on the big day it's self.

is ids claiming expenses to jolly round eastleigh, and i see nadine dorris is being investigated over her expenses.

conservatives, robbing britain blind

I may well have missed it, if so my apologies, but did you confirm that the TUSC candidate Daz Procter has stated that if elected he will do the job for a "working man's wage" and "claim no expenses"?

Its confirmed its in the TUSC manifest for any TUSC that is elected to do the job on a working man wage and no expenses.
The TUSC are the only ones willing and offering that, no other party is.

Come off it. Even Dave Nellist claimed expenses. Anyone who reckons they can adequately represent the people of Eastleigh to the standard they deserve on say £26k a year, and claim no expenses, deserves to be booted out at the ballot box. It's an insult to the electorate.

They can promise what they like i stand more chance of being the next Pope than TUSC stand of winning an election in Eastleigh or anywhere else, a vote for TUSC is just a wasted vote.

it's interesting that in the centre of Eastleigh where I live i've not seen any hint of a visit from any parties candidate. Leaflets yes but they're all full of propaganda and lies (especially from the Lib Dems) but what would really make a difference to determining how I vote a vist the candidates just can't be bothered. two weeks to go and still no canvassing makes me think my vote is not valued at all.

So you aren't the only loopy, deluded one in the party then.

Dave as far as I know have not claim any expenses, since leaving Labour.
Its not an insult at all, if Construction workers can do it, so can an MP and every one else can if they choose to.

No come on don't bail out on me now, because it will show that even UKIP is on that gravy train.

If construction workers can do it? Do what? Properly represent the interests of the electorate in a constituency and in Westminster? And as for your last comment, I truly haven't the first clue what you're on about.

What you are suggesting is the TUSC MP would be willing to travel back and forth at a cost to themselves and would work for an average salary, wouldn't they go Bankrupt in a couple of months?

Let's say they travel to Westminster and need to stay in a Hotel as they have another meeting the next day, they are going to spend more than they earn!

If Tusc are only going to claim a 'working mans wage' and do the same job for less than the other MPs,why is it so wrong when the Eastern Europeans will work for less than the British workers?

Time for a sea change in politics. Lib/Lab/Con are all the same. Lets give UKIP our support.

"UKIP (UKIP.org) SURGE IN EASTLEIGH

This morning’s Populus poll bears that out. They are in third place with 21 per cent, with the Tories second on 28 and the Lib Dems ahead with 33. But, as the indispensable UK Polling Report points out,if you don’t reallocate some of the undecides to the party they voted for last time, UKIP are doing even better. The numbers then are UKIP 25%, Tories 26% and Lib Dems 31%"
