I would welcome the
appointment of Eric Pickles as chairman of the party, as I think he is an excellent campaign strategist - but more importantly because it would get him away from areas of policy formation in the field of local government where I believe that, despite his apparent experience, he has been too focussed on areas which appeal to the tabloid newspapers and has not
fought hard enough
over important issues such as local government powers and planning.
The hard - core value purist hopelessly drooling
over a great price... of some cheap micro-cap which trades by
appointment, is at the mercy of its lenders, and is
fighting a relentless battle against the decline of its business & industry.
