LibDem still picking up the protest vote eh? I wonder what they promised this time - ah the joys of perpetual opposition....

"vote boris" - perhaps in a seat we weren't expected to win, the Labour activists were spending their time canvassing for Ken, instead.

Not really news is it, Labour had no chance of winning those seats anyway. But it does show that traditional conservative voters may not vote conservative.
Just the same as traditional Labour voters may not vote Labour.
As I've said before there are some big shocks coming come the general election.
It's all about character and people vote for candidates that they think will honor their election promises.

Former Conservative M.P. For Clwyd West ( Wales ) Rod Richards has just spent a night in police custody following an incident in which he thumped a canvassing Tory. I know just how he feels.

The latest Poll is putting Labour 24 points behind, but as always I think these polls are rigged depending who commissions them.
Here are my predictions for May, Ken will win by 8% but Labour as a political party will be hit very hard by both lib Dems and the Torys.
Come the general election I can't see how Labour will win another term. Personally I think you'll be fighting for third place.
As you won with the slogan "Things can only get better".....it's going to be "things are going to get a lot worse"
