Finally, after much deliberation I’ve decided how I’m going to vote. In my constituency the most likely candidate to beat Labour is the Liberal Democrat candidate. Having decided that, I thought I would do my bit for democracy and help her deliver leaflets this weekend. Whilst my friends have been away hill walking I have been scaling the tenements of the West End of Glasgow.
It is a well organised campaign; we were all give bundles of letters to deliver, complete with a map of our specific area. The only blunderer was me; I posted my map with a letter through someone’s letter box.
If they are to win, the LibDems need as many people as possible to make the effort and vote for them. Labour is quite entrenched; some people vote for them out of force of habit. When I was a candidate in West Dunbartonshire a few years ago, a man told me “Son, you’re wasting your time, my grandpa voted Labour, my dad voted Labour and I vote Labour”
