  I think it's painfully obvious and agree with Barry, although I'd have to say it's a poor excuse for deception.
  
  "No forced privatisation" is exactly what it is, but by no means does it equal "No privatisation".
  
  I would also like to say that the Conservatives can't have it both ways either. I feel that Mr Elphicke is attempting to represent the interests of the people of Dover, and ultimately this could win him votes.
  
  The interesting twist for for me is whether he would stand by this if elected, as we know the Conservatives love a bit of privatisation. So does he disagree with the privatisation (incongruent with the Parties History/philosophy) for the sake of representing the people of Dover. Or is he representing the interests of the town to win votes to further his own interests (congruent with the idea of 'enlightened self interest')
  
  Either way he's not being straight with someone (I can't see it being the Party, as their intentions for him are quite clear)...surely a worry?
  
  I always commend Barry for his definite line on Conservative policy, clear about their approach to privatisation. I'm not sure where Mr Elphicke is coming from on this one?
