An interesting blog story here, which shows that Labour voters could stop the Tories winning Woking.
Daniel Hannan the Tory MEP who labelled the NHS a "60 year mistake" was in Woking to endorse his friend Jonty Lord.
Leader of the Liberal Democrat Group on Woking Borough Council Cllr Ian Johnson has asked voters to remember that there are 2 elections on May 6th. Ian said "In all the unbelievable excitement of Nick Clegg's General Election campaign, voters may forget that there are crucial Borough Council Elections next week. Currently the Lib Dems only need to gain one seat from the Tories to take control of the Council."
If you want to have your chance to come and hear what myself and the other candidates have to say on matters that effect you before you cast your vote on May 6th, then why not come along to one of the hustings that are coming up.
A new poll has a startling finding. The latest YouGov poll added this question: "How would you vote on May 6 if you thought the Liberal Democrats had a significant chance of winning the election".
According to new calculations the Electoral Reform Society now deems Woking to be a marginal seat. We Liberal Democrats have always known it is, but is good to have confirmation from such a highly regarded body.
Since Nick Clegg's debate victory we have had a massive upsurge in interest in our campaign. Unlike the other 2 main parties we rely almost exclusively on local people for funding and admin and other work. During an election there is always more we could do if we had extra bodies. So if you can spare half an hour to deliver some leaflets locally or have time to stuff envelopes while watching the TV, or even just putting a poster in your window or garden, please contact Tony Kremer on a.kremer@ntlworld.com or phone 01483 764351.
