With election day in the County Council and Euro elections less than a week away our activity has been increasing. We have enjoyed the support of a number of our front bench team, the latest being Caroline Spelman who joined us in Long Lawford with candidate Claire Watson and her fellow councillor, Sally Bragg. My impression is that some of the anger about expenses has now abated and people are starting to think seriously about who to vote for. Many remain disenchanted about politicians generally and wont vote and so turnout will be low. There is little enthusiasm for Labour and so I wasn't surprised to see the poll that showed more support for UKIP than Labour for the Euro election. The toughest job in politics right now must be that of the Get Out The Vote man for the Labour Party!
