A steady stream of volunteers is flowing in and out of the K&S LD HQ as we are collecting the names of any potential voters who we think might not have voted yet. It has been a long day – some were out at 6am dropping election day leaflets and are still going, fuelled by orange squash, biscuits and bananas. And if that’s not enough to keep us going, the lifesize Clegg in the ladies’ loo should do it.

We’re hopeful, but not overconfident – Ed Davey is very popular with the locals, but there’s a sense that national politics is going back to a two -party system and this is impacting how people vote locally.

Not giving up though – in 1997 Ed won with just 56 votes, so we know that every last vote is crucial.
