The usual political shenanigans are in full flow.
The Libdems who got about 180 votes last time (Conservatives 1800, Labour 800 approx) are saying a vote for Labour is a wasted vote :rolleyes: Labour think they are in with a shout this time and I have had 3 visits from them today (just one from Cons + Libdems).
You never know, our little area could turn out to be a political bellwether for the whole of the country. I am sure David Cameron and Ed Milliband will be monitoring it closely :rolleyes:
