LAW AND ORDER was the cornerstone of Margaret Thatcher’s successful campaign in 1979. Tory candidate for Basildon South and East Thurrock, Stephen Metcalfe is bringing it to the top of his agenda as well.
Stephen invited Shadow Home Office Minister, Chris Grayling to the Felmores part of his constituency to discuss anti-social behaviour, red tape in the police, zero tolerance and the court system.
In the walkabout, they were certainly getting a warm response from the public and it was clear that if the Tories push the subject a little bit more here then this could be the key factor that may decide who wins the seat.
