The political parties, all of them, will only start listening to your needs and wants if they believe that you will get out and VOTE! (and yes I know the age demographics of this website is more than likely of the over aged 50 bit of the age spectrum but I like to think we have some younger readers/contributors. ) Young people - get out and vote! (and tell your mates and sibs to do ...
@Andrew - there is no lib dem candidate in brighton pavilion constituency because the lib dems there decided not to put up a candidate in order to help the green party candidate - caroline lucas.
@flo , well i don't suppose labour would be happy with the leaflet! A Labour supporter telling other labour supporters to vote Lib Dem in this constituency in this election. A bit like the old (pre, and up to, 2010) days then?

@Andrew - the person i refer to is not an actor. he is retired. he lives in this constituency. there is a picture of him on the leaflet which also gives his name and contact details. I wonder what the Green Party leaflets in Brighton Pavilion and Bristol West are urging Lib Dem and Labour voters to do. Vote Green perhaps?
@Andrew - i do not work in any campaign office.
@Andrew - the quote is from a 'day before poll' lib dem election leaflet (as i pointed out in my original posting). The person is not fabricated. He exists. And whilst I do not know him I do know of him.

Here is the slightly abridged version of the text of the Lib Dem 'day before poll' election leaflet that I have had sight of. “I was a Labour councillor for many years and I’ve experienced Tory cuts at the coal face – quite literally – I ...
It is election time. Of course, he is not supporting her re-election. (and where is the "well displayed disgust"?) Please give me an example of a Tory supporting a Lib Dem in election time. And actually isn't that photo an example of his doing that very thing you are saying he should do? ie working with her to try and solve a problem.
Of course he is not supporting Ms Morris. Why on earth would a Lib Dem support a Tory who is standing for election against, amongst others, another Lib Dem. Are you seriously suggesting that we would we expect a Tory mayor to say that they would be supporting a Lib Dem candidate?
