I find the Liberal Democrats Streatham campaign really depressing and very negative. If the tories are the nasty party then the LDs are the Negative Party here in this constituency. The Labour candidates publicity material has been on the whole very positive, saying what he will do if elected and so on. Come on Liberal Democrats tell us what you will to make streatham a better place I do not want to know what Labour’s faults are. I want to vote on a positive campaign. Whoever convinces me gets my vote.
People have begun betting that Chuka Umunna will one day become Prime Minister – he was 150/1 with William Hill to do so – but he’s now down to 66/1!
Punters fancy Chuka as a future PM – he has been backed from 150/1 to 66/1 already with William Hill.
