Andrew Sheppard is the chairman of the Hong Kong branch of Conservatives Abroad.
The Conservatives are facing tough opposition from the Labour Party and also need to battle the Liberal Democrats and a number of smaller parties in Britain's May 1 general election.
A solicitor working on international trade cases, Sheppard coincidentally left Britain for Hong Kong in 1979 just as 18 years of Tory rule were beginning, first under Margaret Thatcher and then John Major.
Whatever the result of the election, he and his wife plan to stay in Hong Kong, which has become their home.
What's on your mind? At the moment, it's actually my professional work as a lawyer. The election takes about an hour of my day although last night I had to go through the unfortunate experience of reading the Labour manifesto.
It took me about four hours trying to make sense of it.
