Picture the scene. It’s a cold Saturday morning in mid-February. It’s raining. And you have, for whatever insane reason you choose to justify yourself with, volunteered to stand in the middle of a busy High Street on market day, handing out newsletters full of the positive things your Council (under your Party’s control) has done for you and your community and trying to get people to sign a petition to cut train fares.
Enter, then, the Liberals (ten, to be precise, over twice as many as your four), preaching their negativity and trying to disguise their lack of ideas for the local area by instead focusing on what you want to do, and try to make it seem like a bad move for the local area. Fast-forward a week or so, and their highly unconvincing spin machine has somehow turned a campaign to cut train fares into a ‘Strategy for Gillingham’.

It is quite often showing when a Labour Prime Minister is clutching at straws for support over a policy which has the potential to become controversial. Particularly when that Prime Minister’s policy has all the makings of a left-wing masterpiece, yet he launches it by publishing an article in (of all places) a right-wing newspaper!
