Re - Mid Beds Labour has drifted out a bit on Betfair to 2.22 with the Tories having shortened to 2.74. The LDs are at 5.2. I wonder whether Postal Vote data is leaking out at all!

Woden's Sake!! 'MAY we HAVE' not 'Can We Get'. Is English a second language to you 'Mr Tutor'?

Woden's Sake!! 'MAY we HAVE' not 'Can We Get'. Is English a second language to you 'Mr Tutor'? And your response is not words, not an apology, but an American animated comic! I haven't watched it. Life is too short. Our culture is in your hands! It will not survive the passing of my generation. The Barbarians of every sort are through our gates.

You mean the question wasn't about getting a May Poll to dance around?

I have sometimes aspired to get a job behind a bar - just so that I can say, if someone says "can I get a pint of bitter?", "no, you can't get it, but you may have one, and I will serve it to you"

On that topic, is the Lib Dem campaign pro or anti house-building? Both.

I spoke to someone who is working on the LD campaign a few days ago; the figures from their voter contacts is much more promising than the betting odds or national press might suggest.
(First accusation of 'ramping' in 5, 4, 3, ...)

(First accusation of 'ramping' in 5, 4, 3, ...) That's interesting. But I'm still (having posted something a while back when Davey was asking for volunteers) puzzled at how, with Dorries announcing her intentions in early June, the campaign seems to still be focusing substantially on voter ID at this point. I'd have expected the intervening months - far longer than a typical by-election and with no awkward 'waiting for the funeral' interval - to be used for that. When did they kick off? I suppose the first part would have been dominated by Somerton and Frome and maybe running two in parallel was stretching the party, but even then that was over in July. Perhaps they felt too early a start put too much weight on Dorries' word? Or that early results were inherently dodgy (which they can be)?

I've seen some LibDems from what I call my "previous life" visiting Mid Beds over the weekend. Must have been a great big push, there was a lot of activity.

Still quite a luke-warm assessment.

The Lib Dems sent an email out yesterday saying they had over 300 volunteers at the weekend, 11,000 doors knocked and 48,000 leaflets delivered.
