What may be a big influence is there is an election next year, Cornwall is very strong for the Lib Dems and must be a prime target for Dave and the boys as sure as hell Ed and Nige will not be getting in down here. On the basis no matter what colour your party pretty much anything is available if it gets votes it makes you wonder. If money is to be thrown at Gatwick why not Heathrow and BA would of course be the ideal carrier.
Nige will most definitely be down there, Cornwall has a fishing industry that's hampered by EU rules, it's also likely that many in Cornwall feel neglected by the metropolitan elite.
Also with the Libdems no longer a home for protesting or hacked off voters, it could be rich(ish) pickings for UKIP.
That's not to say that UKIP will necessarily win any seats there, but their level of support could see some aeats change hands.
On the basis that more than twice as many passengers travel through Heathrow than Gatwick surely the demand increases?
If Dave is throwing my cash at a PSO for NQY, please Mr Prime Minister will you throw it at Heathrow not Gatwick.
Would love to see it too, as stated in a previous post: "
Regretably, it ain't going to happen for the forseeable."
