15/04/10…Meet your Conservative candidate in the pub!
THE Conservative party’s election candidate, John Howell, has announced a programme of constituency meetings during the run-up to the General election and beyond.
In a statement yesterday, John Howell’s office said: “The meetings will take place in intimate settings such as pubs and in people?s homes across the constituency. They will allow constituents to have access to John in a way not afforded by public meetings and hustings.”
John Howell himself said: “It is clear that people no longer want to find out about a candidate?s policies through the staged spectacles of the past where candidates tried to score points off each other in public. They want a more serious one-to-one discussion and to look you in the eye close up to see how serious and committed you are.
?But this is an opportunity for more than that. We have in our manifesto set out an opportunity for people to join us in governing Britain in a very direct way. These meetings are the first step along that path and allow local people to begin to help shape the delivery of our policies.?
