SO, the Conservative supporters say the General Election candidate must be locally born and bred.
That will be bad news for Boris Johnson, who has just declared he will be standing in the next election if he can find a seat, because he was born in New York!
Presumably he will take any seat offered to him, whether he lives there or not.
I had no idea who Rowenna Davis, the Labour Party candidate for the next election, was when I first heard about her, so as someone who takes my vote seriously I made a point of finding out.
I have quizzed her on a number of local and national issues and was very impressed with her knowledge on numerous subjects, her passion for politics, and wanting to do the best for the residents of Southampton.
I believe she will be an excellent choice for MP.
