My top priorities in Cumbria include: 1) Defending local hospitals 2) Economic regeneration to provide more jobs 3) A balanced energy policy with a new generation of safe, environmentally-friendly nuclear power including a new power station at Sellafield 4) Improving local transport links, to keep jobs in the area - I regret Labour's terrible decision to de-trunk the A595 5) Improving education facilities to attract "knowledge based" industries of the future: CONTACT ME: Residents of Cumbria with a local issue can contact me on chris4copeland@btinternet.com

I was most amused by that one. The gentleman understood what lies at the heart of Labour - a need to control, to take away the freedom of choice from individuals who know better than the Government how to lead their lives and how to spend their money.
Many people on the doorstep are sick and tired of a Government that tries to control and micromanage, which is bad enough, but the Labour party is so incompetent, riddled with factional fighting and weak, Gordon Brown can't even control his own ministers properly.
Remember, folks, only by voting for the Conservatives can we get rid of this shambles calling itself a Government.
And the difference will be ?
That some of the regulation, control-freakery and targets will be the first thing to go as we try to save money - starting with ID cards.
There's not much point having regulations or laws if politicians will only enforce what suits them.
