NEIL Carmichael confuses me.

According to the Electoral Register I live in the Stroud constituency.

Mr Carmichael is saying that he is the candidate for ‘Stroud Valleys and Vale’.

He should surely know that no such constituency exists.

In the recent Boundary Commission review he supported the transfer of Vale from the Stroud Constituency into Thornbury and Yate.

Is he standing for a future constituency, then?

And one can only wonder at how well Mr Carmichael actually knows the constituency for which he has been MP for the past seven years.
