She had also been in the final for Bournemouth West but has pulled out following her selection. |

Dr Spink had declared himself a candidate at the General Election. He will be standing on a Save Our Green Belt ticket. He also has the support of the locally popular Canvey Island Independant Party.
The bookmakers have him at 3/1 to hold the seat. I personally hope he gets pasted.

I was very surprised that Dr Spink did so well - he did so clearly primarily through tactical voting from Labour supporters:
Con 15806 44.0% (-4.2%)
Spink 12174 27.0%
Lab 6609 14.7% (-15.7%)
LibDem 4252 9.4% (-0.9%)
BNP 2205 4.9% (+4.9%)
(Ind received 3.5% in 2005)
UKIP received 7.5% in 2005)
UKIP stood aside in this seat for Bob Spink.

Yes he got about double what I would have predicted. Seems he had some kind of arrangement with the Canvey Island Independents so if he had those local councillors campaighning for him he will have polled well there and there vote probably does come largely from voters who would have gone Labour in previous general elections

Which is odd, considering that he is markedly to the right of the current Conservative leadership! |

I've not seen any of his leaflets but he may have run on a 'I got booted out by my party for telling the truth' platform which could appeal to some people. He may also have a fairly big personal vote- he won it back from Labour in 2001.

Sorry - I got the percentages right but the Conservative vote here was 19,806. |
