Time for another delivery, we think
If the plan was going to work, then it was going to happen sooner rather than later… and sure enough today the first deliverer came back. "I have just had a mouthful from a resident complaining about the number of leaflets from the Liberal Democrats." We have we think reached the tipping point of recognition from the electorate. Dr Zulfiqar Ali is a former City councillor here in Hanley, Etruria and Shelton, he knows the city well and lives in it, and he has a strong and positive recognition amongst voters here.

There seems to be a pattern here…
The latest batch of local by-elections saw a familiar story, with the Lib Dems making substantial gains in vote share and gaining two seats. In Fairford North (Cotswold) the swing was 30.3 per cent, while in Waterside (North Norfolk) it was "only" 12.3 per cent. Incredibly, that's their worst result this year in any ward they had contested the previous time. Cotswold DC, Fairford North - 9th February 2017 Another Lib Dem gain on a huge swing. Almost predictable at the moment: LD Andy Doherty 610 [68.1%; +40.3%] Conservative 270 [30.1%; -21.6%]
