    I’ve already received the usual lib dem leaflet showing a graph proving that only they can beat the Tories here. It’s almost exactly the same as I got in the last general election, which was in a completely different constituency. A bar graph with Tories high, Lib Dems slightly below and then Labour near the bottom with a massive graph.

    It might very well be correct but it really just puts me off them, especially as the constituency candidates they put on there are two roads over and not ours. I’m sure I’ll get another one for this constituency at some point of course, with the same graph but different names.

    I am really struggling as in my last constituency, I voted for them to remove the Tory and their hard line brexit but they took just enough off Labour for the Tories to win whilst being a very distant third place, so completely different to what they were suggesting. Of course it’s hard to know if any of those voters would have gone Labour instead but I certainly did so am guessing others did. Plus Labour were not anti hard brexit and non committal which didn’t help them.

    F this FPTP system, really wish we voted for the alternative vote
