Mine dropped through the door this morning.
Rob Loughenbury, a bloke in a suit who "works full time in the property development industry and has three young children". Hmm. A Property developer who wants to be a Tory? That's a turn-up for the books. Not warming to him, already. No mention of a wife. Maybe she's dead? Maybe he's a widower. God, that would be tough. His campaign leaflet has been promoted by a certain Charlotte Woods, of the same address as him, though. Is she Mum? Wife? Who knows.
Rob is "Part of the community"! He plays rugby for Chorley RUFC. Again, hardly a fucking surprise for a Tory candidate.
He "held Labour-run Chorley Council to account over its plans for a new traveller site in Chorley". Well, to be fair, none of us wanted THAT on our doorstep.
He does seem to do stuff for local charities. He "works with them", apparently, although how he finds the time as a full-time property developer and apparently sole carer of three children, well, one can only assume he never gets any sleep.
Okay, let's look inside to the bit Cameron's mob have drafted for him:
Ah, the Choice is, apparently, clear. "Your local vote won't just decide who will represent you and your local area. It will also determine who becomes Prime Minister - Ed Miliband or David Cameron. And the only way Ed Miliband can become Prime Minister is with the support of the SNP and other minor parties. So with a vote for Labour's candidate locally, you won't just get Ed in Number 10, but Alex Salmond and others pulling the strings as well".
Blimey. Well I didn't know that.
