Where is James Dudderidge?

The end of 2014 is nearly upon us, and the media frenzy has already started for the General Election. I was thinking where is our local Member of Parliament James Dudderidge? Shouldn't he be speaking to his constituents, and listening to their opinions and how to take Southend into a new era of national politics. In the past Southend on sea was always a safe seat for the Tories, but I have come to the realisation the days of The Tories holding onto their seat a pretty slim at the moment. Whilst speaking to residents in Southend it became clear in the conversations I had, they are dischanted with the national government and would like a different approach to national politics, and Southend has demographicaly changed in the last few years. In a way I am looking forward to the 2015 General Election as could be a big change in national politics.
