We kick off with our guide to the General Election in Somerset and venture our own predictions. Plus a mess surrounding a Freedom of Information request, flooding in Chard and a quarry near Frome.....
You do of course have a determined independent candidate plus a Green and Reform candidate as well as the LibDem. It is not ideal, but there are choices.
Perhaps if the two main parties can't be bothered to find a candidate until the last minute, they don't deserve your vote?
Thanks for the comprehensive coverage and Thank God it will soon be over. I'm intrigued by your comment that Rebecca Pow is out of time to back out, given that Gove, Leadsom et al have now announced they are doing just that. Or is that just the usual 'rules are for other people' shtick?
So in Wells no Labour or Conservative candidate. What a mess. In effect not democracy for us since we are being pushed to LibDems whether we want them or not. Think this gives the very positive Independent hope, although presume LibDems will win the vote through apathy & old boys & girls network.
It is really hard to argue with that sentiment.
