The Conservative candidate is Edward Timpson.
Strange that his name has not been included on the above list...
Take a look at Edward's website:
www.creweandnantwich
conservatives.com
Please compare what he has to say with the irrelavent personal and negative comments on Labour's website. The difference is that Edward is clearly focussed on local people and local issues; whilst the local Labour Party are obsessed with Edward!

Well said M.H,
I too had noticed the stark differences between the two main candidate's campaign websites.
Mr Timpson seems genuinely to be reaching out and explaining his views.
While Ms Dunwoody is... well, even Labour's own supporters are backing away from the venomous and vindictive attacks coming from her campaign. They are truly shocking and I can't honestly believe that the people of Crewe would want someone like this to represent them in Westminster?

The Selection of Minime Dunwoody looks like a cynical exploitation of her mother's good name.
The Americans may believe in voting in political dynasties but I would hope the people of Crewe and Nantwich have more sense.

Edward Timpson is a decent, intelligent young man. He will be an asset to the people of Crewe and Nantwich. The detrimental comments levelled against him are consistent with the usual new labour attempts at smear. Best of luck Ed. you will be a breath of fresh air in south Cheshire.

You're absolutely right Mark. Labour are not taking the people of Crewe and Nantwitch at all seriously. Edward Timpson is. Edward deserves your vote. DUNWOODY DOESN'T.
