Carol Shaw's Personal Vote

Out on the doorstep in Brondesbury on Saturday, I saw that the Tory window poster literally reads "I'm backing Carol Shaw and her team for Brondesbury Park".  That is an extraordinary reliance on a personal vote in a local election, and quite possibly unique for a back bench councillor.  You can see why the Tories take this line if you look at the 2014 result. 

It does, however, lead them to be not so much the Conservative Party as the Carol Shaw party.
