Which party?

There is no word from the Conservatives that Davis is standing for them. Please don't quote them unless you have source. --91.106.28.24 (talk) 12:56, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

And you, please stop adding nonsense, even if you are correct that there is no official word (I myself don't have a clue). -Lilac Soul (talk • contribs • count) 12:58, 12 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
David Cameron, as leader of the Conservatives, has said that they are backing Davis. Bondegezou (talk) 13:34, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Drop a quotable source in, and Bob's your uncle.--91.106.28.24 (talk) 13:49, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Backing him? No. They're going to "support" him, but not back him financially. So, so far we have nothing that says he'll be the Conservative candidate. We need to wait to officially hear from the Conservative Central Office or the man himself. Until then, we're in danger of just repeating the press's guesswork. There's no deadline folks, so we can wait. ➨ ЯEDVEЯS used to be a sweet boy 14:06, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
Yeah, this is a highly unusual by-election. We'll have to be on our toes here, peeps. Too many "as live" updates and we'll turn this page into a blog. Too few and we'll be caught napping. More now than ever, we MUST have sources, and I know it's tempting, but Conservative Home is not a reliable source! We've got, what, a month to go, already this article has been edited about 500 times I'd guess! We are all pretty good editors, we know the score, but it's about control, especially the anonytors who I suspect will flood in nearer polling day. doktorb wordsdeeds 14:15, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
There is a reliable source for the OMRLP candidate. Any chance someone could put the results box for Mad Cow-Girl back? You can argue about whether Davis is a tory or not in your own time.--91.106.28.24 (talk) 14:21, 13 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]
