Rutland's was 19.02 per cent.
This does not surprise me, canvasing was almost none existent here in Rutland
I met the Tory Candidate here in Oakham in the market place a few weeks ago
he gave me a leaflet which told me who he was and he used to work for the CPS
I received no information from any of the other candidates.
The job is not anything like it was sold to us back in 2012
I visited my polling station a spoilt my paper
