Hi Stephen, Good luck with those meetings. As you can see the other guys have got off to a flying start..I speak of Gwyn and Charlie and of course UKIP's Vic , who as you can see is highly energised. Nationally Nick Clegg appears to be doing very well indeed with his sidekick the ever popular Vince Cable, so it will be good to hear more locally from the LIbDems. Your previous candidate Antony Hook was a vociferous candidate on here.

I see the latest YouGov polls put Lib/Dems at 37% with the blues at 22% and the reds at 21%. How long before DC and GB hit the panic buttons?
True friends stab you in the front.
Personally Ithink that DC and GB have already done that. On Friday Lab was spinning about working with Libs and then on Sunday GB goeson offensive. Contradictory messages from big chief does not help his cause.
As an aside, I am actually left-handed
Every dog has his day and Mr Clegg may well have just had his.

Dan Hannan writing today:
""""""Whoever thought that we might win England?"a Belgian palaeo-federalist bellowed at me just now, beaming with joy. As the impeccably European Tony Barber blogs over at the FT, "Viewed from Brussels, the rise of Nick Clegg is a fantasy come true".
It's not just that the Lib Dems are goody-goody Euro-zealots. It's not just that they want to sign up to the few bits of the justice and home affairs agenda from which even Labour chose to stand aside. It's not just that they support the euro. It's not even that they'd be content to cede Britain's UN Security Council seat to the EU.
No, more important than any of this is that Nick Clegg is recognised by Eurocrats as One Of Us. A graduate of the College of Europe in Bruges, he went on to work in the European Commission before being elected to the European Parliament. In each of those three institutions, he was taught the them-and-us elitism that is the hallmark of the Eurocrat: the belief that voters are simple, often bigoted, souls, who require guidance from experts.
Cleggie proved that he was still One Of Us when, in his first major decision as Lib Dem leader, he went back on his party's promise of a referendum on the European Constitution. Even when the expenses revelations hit, the Lib Dems were careful not to call for a dissolution until Lisbon was safely ratified. Observe, once again, the EU's hideous strength: the way in which it makes its supporters eschew democracy in their own countries in order to keep the project on track."""""""""""
Dan has said it all aboput the Eurofanatical LibDems.

Tory bullshit again. Why can't you just concentrate on getting your own message across to the voters without trying to destroy the reputation of other candidates? You make the Tory Party look defensive and nervous, Barry. Concentrate on telling what a Tory Government would do for us instead of this constant sniping at other parties - it just looks mean and nasty. Or is that the modern Tory Party? Plus ca change, eh? Is it back to the arrogant indifference that characterised John Major's Government?
"Whoever thought that we might win England?"a Belgian palaeo-federalist bellowed at me just now, beaming with joy." What's that supposed to mean? Talk about pseudo intellectual crap. When in doubt, confuse them with bullshit........
True friends stab you in the front.
