Would appear that rather than the usual filler Conservative candidate in South Bristol (the last one had a picture blatantly taken in London rather than the constituency), we have one with local credentials, the leader of the Conservatives on Bristol City Council no less. Furthermore it would appear that he is fairly keen on railways too and is keen to see a station built at Ashton Gate.

Will be interesting to see what happens, if you add up the Conservative and UKIP vote from last time it could be a close run thing.
