This how to campaign locally

Grant Shapps is my MP - he is a new breed and a breath of fresh air as far as I am concerned.

This is only one of many local campaigns Shapps has launched and created. He took the seat in 2005 and is well on course to turn it into a safe Tory seat (7,500 +).

His method of campaigning has (deservedly)won him many votes across party lines.
He is bang on with this particular campaign. He is being supported by BOTH Labour and Lib Dem PPC's. Not only is this particularly clever politically but it demonstrates that the cause is correct.

He has also held public meetings with officials from the local NHS trust and shown that their forward financial planning ranges from non existent to abysmal.

When I have my first heart attack I don't want to have to spend 20 minutes sitting in a traffic jam on the A1 to get to A & E - quite simply the further away an A & E unit is - the more people will die. These are clinical issues being decided by politicians with ulterior motives.

I cant understand why Dave isnt screaming from the rooftops about the blatant political bias in the allocation of money to Labour seats at the expense of Tory ones.

If we had more MP's like Shapps I would be a lot more confident about our ability to win the next election.
