Hereford suddenly becomes much more attractive

LibDem Voice broke the news that Paul Keetch, LibDem MP for Hereford, won't be contesting the next General Election.  That's very good news for the Tory candidates currently hoping to be adopted as the PPC for a seat that Mr Keetch only held by 962 at last year's General Election.  Virginia Taylor, Tory candidate for the seat in 2001 and 2005, did a terrific job in moving the seat into one of the top possibilities for a Tory gain over the LibDems at the next General Election.  Without the loyalty factor to a well-known, local constituency MP the next Tory candidate will be in with an excellent chance of moving the seat of the gorgeous golden valley into the blue column at the next election night.
