I disagree with quite a lot of the comments which Mickey/ Woking Observer seem to make. They seem like lib dem activisits. I repeat Rosie Sharlepy was very poor at the husting, did not make points clear, weak on policy and conclusions.
Lib dem literature is very weak, an negative (dog end dirty) which I think is a real turn- off.
Jonathan Lord was selected by open primary and so has been selected by the people of Woking not behind closed doors. I think it should be considered for more open primaries. Ifthe lib dems gain here I am concerned as to the representaiton Woking will receive at parliament as Rosie Sharpley cannot debate well at all, the hustings showed that to me. Even Tom Miller Labour candidate who is in his mid 20’s argued better!
Con majority 6000
CON HOLD
So Mickey/ Chippy/ Mike got it all wrong! A safe CON hld here, and increased majority. The liberal candidate was very poor, and a good show in the seat next door n Guildford to increase Conservative majority to safe seat territory now. I can’t remember who said it but I think Chippy (?) has just lost some money on Rosie Sharpley here.
Good luck to Jonathan, he is a great speaker, and will be a good constituency MP
I’d say this result is a bit disappointing for the Conservatives.
I suppose (considering the Labour vote was halved) the result could’ve been tighter, and the vote share did finally climb back up to 50%, but even so the percentage majority is slightly smaller than it was.
I think 8% is the lowest vote share Labour have ever got in the Woking constituency (created in 1950 according to Wikipedia… obviously there’ve been boundary changes in the decades since).
This decline has clearly been to the Lib Dems’ benefit. They may lose votes to Labour at the next election, hindering their chances of making a gain, but Jonathan Lord needs to work hard here.
Outside of Guildford (which with Surrey university etc… has some unique features for the area) Surrey might flirt with the Libs in order to keep the Tories on their toes, and might want Lib-Dem councillors, but I can’t imagine seats like this ever returning anything other than a Tory MP. (I grew up in Mole Valley, just down the road).
That said, Labour might as well not bother in most of Surrey at the moment.
