Daniel Day Lewis was 'The Last Mohican.' Is Peter Atkinson 'The Last NE Conservative?'

After watching the Conservatives YESNO /NESNO behaviour in the North East over the designation fiasco against the People's No Campaign the public have turned against them pushing them into fourth place in the Hartlepool by election.

They have lost all credibility in the North East because of their deceitful and duplicitous behaviour over the 'No' designation.

Grassroots Conservatives are disgusted at their 'back-stabbing' of the true People's Campaign. Calls to the North East No Campaign office from long time Conservatives confirm this.Even NESNO council members are not aware of the facts and have also called the real No Campaign as NESNO's ineptitude becomes apparent.

The public are also incensed at Conservative NESNO's ineptitude, their lack of profile, mixed messages, lack of public meetings and poor understanding of the issue.

Their only sitting MP now looks very vulnerable with his very small majority.

One has to think whether this has been a deliberate attempt to damage the No Campaign to such a degree that they at least end up with some Conservative Assembly members.

More will be exposed and uncovered in the coming weeks. The North East public have a right to know the truth. The North East No Campaign will make available its Electoral Commission application for full scrutiny to expose what is the most bizarre decision. Will NESNO do the same? ...There needs to be a full investigation in order to prevent the same political polarisation in the European Constitution referendum.

As for the last NE Conservative...people are now queueing to stand in Hexham and campaign by the coach full.

Next week's Tory Conference will be an interesting place to be. Their big mistake in the North East will be the talk of the town...but they were warned !
