Where Are Your Opponents?

Conservative Parliamentary Candidate for the general election, Stephen Phillips, was asked some difficult questions this week at a sixth form assembly at Carre's Grammar School to which he was invited. Chief among them, "Where are your opponents?" Stumped by that one, Stephen was bailed out by headteacher Mr Law who informed the boys that both the Liberal and Labour party candidates had been invited along with Stephen, but that neither had even bothered to reply. Before moving on to Church Lane Primary for another visit and to chat to parents there, Stephen said, "It's a real shame that neither the Lib-Dem nor Labour candidate could be bothered to turn up today to debate the issues affecting our community. At a time when people have lost trust in politicians, their arrogance in not even bothering to reply to the school's invitation is breathtaking."
