I think part of that is that the previous Lib Dem council was very unpopular (shown by the result in 2007 where they lost over 20 seats), and I suspect people have not forgotten that in a hurry.

It’s odd how the Liberal Democrats have failed to take Bournemouth seriously in general elections. They missed their chance against Tobias Ellwood last time, now I suspect that they will perform a similar service for Mr Burns. This seat ought to be a seriously possibility but clearly they’re concentrating on Mid Dorset & N Poole to its detriment.

I should add for the sake of fairness that no one I know in Bournemouth has ever heard of Alasdair Murray, let alone seen him in person or even in the newspaper.

1:0 to Conor Burns by the look of things.

Conor Burns on the Echo website tonight as attending a dinner with Liam Fox for the Tories, Matt.

First time I have ever seen him in there to be honest.

Unlike his Bournemouth East and Mid Dorset compatriots who appear to be in the paper weekly.

Over a year gone since the last comments – this is my home seat and to be honest, I have seen no activity from anyone!

That post is rather arrogant and presumptious “Lib Dem Lennie” – I’m not saying its impossible the Lib Dems could win here, although I would have thought a local candidate like Cllr Claire Smith may have had more chance.

“The new MP has been announced.

We look forward to your win Alasdair.”

I think Lennie might be a bit premature with that statement.

Although from what I have seen on the ground it could be quite possible that the Tories and Lib Dems end up swapping the seats of Mid Dorset and Bournemouth West.
