Subject: RE: BS: Time to choose on June 8th-UK Elections
We certainly did. I met our heavily-defeated Labour candidate yesterday (North Cornwall has long been LibDem but is now solid Tory). I apologised to her for being stupid enough to vote tactically for the insipid LibDems. Similar advice in the constituency in which my daughter lives (Truro and Falmouth) may well have cost Labour the seat, where their vote mushroomed way beyond expectations. Of course, if you're going to vote tactically for the LibDems it would be absurd to put Labour posters up in the window or car, or try to persuade people to vote Labour, but next time (which will be pretty soon) I predict a damn sight more of such apparitions and a damn sight more people out to campaign for Labour. There are an awful lot of us about! Be very afraid, Theresa. Just for once, Osborne was probably right, and he might well have included the whole Tory party.
