This is the kind of seat - with many voters unclear as to how to vote tactically - where it would be perfectly legitimate to deploy the 'Tory little helper' argument.With such voters it is a point that still has resonance - as does the raising of tuition fees. Firstly, I think you overestimate the resonance the issue still has a decade on. Secondly, there is a risk - if not effectively targeted to left-leaning voters - that it reminds soft Conservatives of a Coalition government that most of them feel was a hell of a lot better than the current one, and pushes them towards the Lib Dems. The wiser approach for Labour here would be to essentially ignore the Lib Dems and say only Starmer or Sunak can be PM, show the most attractive graph they can etc. The number of orange bookers in the current Lib Dems amount to three people. There were never very many of them, all pretty much centred around clegg or party HQ. since clegg has gone so have the rest of themf, off to places like the Taxpayers alliance. |
