The target seats for CF chosen by CF steering group, basically those being given money and leaving loads of others out who could use it more or who deserve it more.

More will follow on this story when TB gets back from the pub.

Our winner remains anoymous.. guess that means they don't want their bottle opener.

oh well.

All target seats.
Guildford by far the best/most important...!

God I must really want that bottle opener. As to the other comments I have this problem in Surrey - members of constituencies with very high majorities being unhappy because "target seats" are taking resources. Surely seats with large majorities should appreciate the need for this and mobilize some of this massive majority..? Easier said than done, I know, but some of these seats have majorities of around 30 so perhaps they need all the "resources" they can get.

They may already have several bottle openers. Or want better prizes.

umm how about a rock4cf badge?

plenty of those kicking around too...

Alexandra said...

I can contribute Rock4CF, key rings, I love Boris badges, a multitude of Boris-esque t shirts. Tory Bear you should widen your range of prizes to get a higher standard of entrant...!

Tooting got all their money last year.

We have realistic prospect of winning Dagenham and Rainham and Lenningrad West and Harare Central. All of those seats are a worthwhile allocation of CF resources.

So what's Dagenham and Rainham doing just one place up from Crewe & Nantwich on the target list?

The paucity of ambition in the Midlands is astonishing. We need a swing of just 1.45% to win Stourbridge and in Loughborough we need a swing of 1.15%.

Scarce resources would have been better off targetted at targets 147, 185, 197. Disgraceful.
