Actually the weekend has not been as bad as I feared it might. Yes it rained whilst delivering but still managed to get some family stuff done as well. Actually late Sunday afternoon was really rather pleasant on the streets. Have been suffering as well from this bug that never seems to go!
Some very interesting leaflets have gone out from both Labour and Lib Dems. Apparently they are both in the lead and one or the other is going to come third! All I know is that a lot of people are fed up with this Lib Dem Council and all the talk and no action. Even their own activists are fed up with them. One I spoke to would not vote for us but was sure as hell not going to vote Lib Dem. I would rather they vote than not vote because the greatest threat to democracy is the lack of interest. The same goes for the General Election when it comes. If nothing else I will be pushing every one I meet to exercise their right to vote; whether it be for me or anyone else.
I suppose this is the danger of running dodgy bar charts with erroneous figures; it can be a real turn off. One party shows the figures based on some distant past when they won it and the other starts saying what might be the result in ten years time were this and that to happen! All sad really. Still I suppose the Lib Dems are the past masters at the exaggeration game. There are numerous examples of the phoney bar chart department held on Lib Dem watch - here is one more recent story.
Still lots of work still to do and lots of delivery to make.

What's really interesting is the amount and quality of material that the Lib Dems are putting out - so far, one Focus leaflet across the whole ward, two direct mails, both two colour high-quality print, and large colour Rachel O'Connor posters, as well as standard Lib Dem posters. The former must have been produced just for this election so it's not like they could've been ordered cheaply from the national party. The imprint on the direct mail is for a commercial company.
Given that the expense limit for the campaign is only just over five hundred pounds, surely the Lib Dems must have spent up to the limit already? I think we should be told.
We will of course get to know when they submit their expenses. Still we are up to two In Touches and a letter to pledges. Good Labour leaflet out as well. Keeps us all busy.
