Peterborough City Council Leader Marco Cereste is with us. Good morning Marco.
CERESTE: Hello Paul. Good morning. How are you?
STAINTON: I’m very good, thank you. Very good indeed. Just explain to us why they have to be moved on.

Stewart Jackson Conservative Party Candidate

An interview with Stewart Jackson Conservative Party Candidate for Peterborough broadcast on Friday 9th April 2010 at 08:10 in the Paul Stainton Breakfast Show on BBC Radio Peterborough.

STAINTON: Now, four days of election talk, has it been enough to persuade you to go out and cast your ballot on May 6th yet? If not, don’t worry. We’ve got four more weeks. Yesterday, Dr Ken Ritchie from the Electoral Reform Society said that under the current voting system, there’s no way the Conservatives would lose their majority in Peterborough.
RITCHIE (TAPE) What are the chances that the Conservatives are not going to hold Peterborough? Look, they won it with a little margin way back in 2005. Back in 2005 the Conservatives were trailing Labour by a mile in the opinion polls. Now it’s the Conservatives that are way ahead. There’s no way, you go down to the bookies, and see what odds they’ll give, on Labour taking back Peterborough.
STAINTON: (LIVE) Well Liberal Democrat candidate in Peterborough, Nick Sandford, said the system was the reason seats were staying the same.
SANDFORD: (TAPE) Across the whole of Cambridgeshire, certainly four out of the six seats in Cambridgeshire do hardly ever change hands, and that is a feature of the corrupt and undemocratic electoral systrem. That’s a system that enabled Tony Blair to be elected in 2005, only getting just over a third of the people supporting him. More people in the City of Peterborough vote against the Conservatives, but we end up with two Members of Parliament.
STAINTON: (LIVE) So could the election in Peterborough be a bit dull? Well Labour candidate Ed Murphy didn’t think so.
MURPHY: (TAPE) I know I’m from Peterborough. Most people know. When the personalities come through, one of the things is true, in Cambridgeshire we’ve got very boring Members of Parliament. Let’s talk to people about the issues, about how we need decent jobs for hard-working folk in Peterborough. There is a change in this election. We’ve got several right-wing parties standing. And it is going to be a very tense time in Peterborough, and very interesting.
STAINTON: (LIVE) Well Peterborough’s Conservative MP Stewart Jackson is in the studios this morning. Good morning Stewart.
JACKSON:Morning Paul.
STAINTON: So um .. no point really. You’re going to walk it, according to the Electoral Reform Society. Continue reading “Stewart Jackson Conservative Party Candidate”
