Latest Liberal Democrats canvassing

Hartlepool canvassing latest
(Message from Chris Rennard)

My Hartlepool canvass analysis confirms that the Liberal Democrat
conference has been a great success. We also made good gains in council by-elections last night in places as far apart as Basildon and Blyth Valley.

My reckoning now is that of the seventeen wards in Hartlepool we are
narrowly ahead in seven, behind in eight - and two wards too close to
call. More importantly, things are moving our way.

There is a fantastic spirit up here - and I am certainly not leaving
until after polling day.

The whole party is indebted to the people who have been working up here for many weeks now and to the hundreds of people who have been to help for a day or two or much longer.

But winning will not be a push-over. Labour have many members and
helpers in this part of the world who will be working hard to overcome the reluctance of their traditional supporters to turn out this time.

To make Jody Dunn our 56th MP (and what a superb MP she will be !) we
still need many more people to help identify and get out to vote the
growing number of people who want Jody to be their MP.

We have had three extremely close Parliamentary by-elections in the last year. Hartlepool will be the fourth. Labour are clearly desperate.

Jody has been campaigning positively on saving the hospital, getting a better deal for pensioners and taking effective action on crime. But all Labour have to offer are crude personalised attacks.
