We just attended a local version of Question Time, in the hall of a nearby school, Dimbledored by a local methodist minister.

| Candidate Name and party | Matches with? | SB's Impression |
|---|---|---|
| 1, Booth, Stephanie (Labour) | A, Vacuous, slimy, self-important, self-obsessed turd who will likely win | |
| 2, Buckley, Greg (UKIP) | B, Sweet, enthusiastic, spent most of their time endorsing Lib Dem policies | |
| 3, Myers, Hilary (Lib Dem) | C, Surprisingly nice, given that they are related by marriage to Tony Blair, but hasn't got a cat in hell's chance of winning due to both local and national scandals | |
| 4, Chris O'Conner (Ind) | D, Batshit insane but quite likeable anarchist | |
| 5, Kate Sweeny (Green) | E, Utterly lovely, the most sensible candidate by far, will likely come second | |
| 6, Craig Whittaker (Tory) | F, Completely clueless, ill-informed, ill-prepared, and risibly bad at public speaking |

I'd vote for her. Lets hope the electorate of the Calder Valley feels the same way, eh?

I was there too, and thought it was disappointing that you're question wasn't properly addressed.
