Having just watched the Channel 4 Video, which looks at the possibility of a hung Parliament – http://tinyurl.com/ykxeybb a sentence jumped right out at me - ‘Tory votes tend to pile up in seats the Tories have already won’.

Could this possibly be because the majority of Tory MPs are hard working and conscientious, constituency MPs?

I personally abide by the motto instilled into me by my good friend, mentor and surrogate Grandfather, Sir Stanley Odell - ‘always remember Nadine, elections are won between elections, not during the General Election campaign, by then it is far too late’.

Wise words indeed.
