Carpet baggers in General Elections - are they worth it to constituents?

Cheshire Matters Podcast

We are proud to present Episode 7 P2 of two parts, of a new season of Cheshire Matters, Season 18 of your favourite 'digital' pub with discussions from the 'quirky three', filled with satire, humour (and more than a dash of sarcasm) featuring your absolutely fabulous, amazingly brilliant, witty and ridiculously talented 'Ab Fab', the delicious, delightful and delovely digital pub landlord (with the great hair do) podcast host Jonathan Starkey, with regular panelists Trevor Nicholls (the Gazelle) and Mark Hartley (Stats Man). 

The 'Flab Two' and Skinny Minny 'Stats' are here for another lively discussion.

In P1 we discussed the leaders debates and the BBC Leader's debate in particular. Has Farage caused the upset of the decade? We think he has.

In P2 we discuss carpet baggers (prospective MPs parachuted into constituencies who have no apparent connections to the constituency. In this case we're talking about Warrington North who have lost a number of Conservative Councillors in the last Borough election. Couldn't the Conservatives have found a candidate amongst them to stand in Warrington North instead of parachuting in a carpet bagger?

This is a must listen to for everyone worldwide but also residents in Cheshire, MPs, counils and Councillors in Cheshire and all other public officials (in case we don't survive another week in the UK). Hope all public officials in authority are enhanced DBS checked? Cheshire Matters will be checking up on you. You don't really know who in public office you can trust these days!!!!!!!

Join us for our often humorous but sometimes serious commentary and insights on these subjects and more from the best digital pub with the best and most deliciously witty digital pub landlord in the UK (the guest panellists, apart from Stats and the Gazelle, are extremely minor entities along for the ride).
