Blimey - the LibDems are now polling second in Putney.

The logical conclusion is... if you want your vote to count against Boris you’re better off backing the LibDems. And I speak as someone who has always voted labour. But I won’t with Corbyn in charge.

oh, and where did you see this?

Whoops, sorry, you’re right. Not polling second, but second favourite with the bookies. A more reliable indicator, these days.

Not in the slightest. So basically no evidence at all that the lib dems are polling second. A blatant lie, caught out.

Yes, definitely vote Labour to ‘get Boris gone’ in Putney.However, look at what’s going on in Esher and Walton, Dominic Raaaaaab is on the ropes. The Lib Dem’s look like they have a great chance there.Viva democracia!Viva el pueblo!

I still wonder at the scale of the LibDem material which is posted through my door. It must be expensive if it is being done nationally. It will all help to split and emasculate the Remain vote.

And 20 minutes ago I just received another LibDem leaflet in the post. A polling and elections expert, who "set up Britain's first political betting website in 2004" and says "The election in Putney is between the Conservatives and the Liberal Democrats".

It’s a pity it is not possible to change the completely incorrect heading to this thread.45 minutes ago I received a letter from the Green candidate saying there is only a choice between the Conservatives and Liberal democrats, failing to even mention the Labour alternative.Nick

"It’s a pity it is not possible to change the completely incorrect heading to this thread."Indeed, it is a sort of "first mover advantage". You also need to remember to keep on changing a heading when involved in a complex thread. I tend to fail."45 minutes ago I received a letter from the Green candidate saying there is only a choice between the Conservatives and Liberal democrats, failing to even mention the Labour alternative."Show them a little support by recycling it.

The Tory canvasser who came round the other day said the LibDems were way down and it is Labour they are worried about.

Does the leaflet mention the leaders contribution when the Liberals were in government?I've not seen the leaflet only a free newspaper.

“ The Tory canvasser who came round the other day said the LibDems were way down and it is Labour they are worried about.”Hmm, and why would the Tory canvasser be coming up with that line, I wonder.
