Last Gasp For Election Campaigns

Conservative Chairman Russell Tillson has posted a lengthy missive calling for one ‘final push’ for victory.

Although taking nothing for granted, Cllr Tillson predicts Conservative Candidate Damian Collins ‘will be a first class Member of Parliament’.

Attacking Labour and Liberal Democrats in equal measure, Cllr Tillson accuses ‘both Labour and the Liberal Democrats [of resorting] to advising voters to vote tactically to prevent a majority Conservative government from being elected’ and warns that ‘ a vote for the Liberal Democrats, or any other party could leave Gordon Brown in Downing Street for another five years, with all the damage that would do to our economy and our society.’

Meanwhile the Lib Dems seem a little subdued on their site, carrying a release from Nick Clegg but little in the way of local activism. Flyers looking like a handwritten note from Joanna Lumley endorsing candidate Lynne Beaumont have been dropping through Cheriton letterboxes, and probably in a few other areas too.

The text of the letter has appeared in Lib Dem promotional material 'Kent View' number two.
Whether this will counteract God’s endorsement of David Cameron as splashed across the front page of The Sun remains to be seen.
