Antony, you are quite right to say that the A listers should be trying to fight the seats we need to win. Personally, I think an apprenticeship in a difficult-to-win seat is a necessary rights of passage. Commitment to the cause is the number one quality I look for in a Tory MP. So, if for example, Adam Rickett had a go at a Manchester seat next time instead of fishing for a safe Southern seat, he'd build up a lot more credit.Praguetoryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16520923731691837948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6457473.post-1160342578943765702006-10-08T22:22:00.000+01:002006-10-08T22:22:00.000+01:00Personally, A listers should not expect veterans t...Personally, A listers should not expect veterans to give way. Veterans constituents do not wish a cukoo A lister parachuted in. A listers should earn their seats and fight against Labour and Lib Dems to gain their conservative majority, to have any credibility in the party and to cut their teeth, just as I remember you Antony did last time against Charles Clarke. If A listers are so talented they should win.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
