Your ananlysis underlines why the Lib dems have the reputation of being all things to all men (women). You bizarrly seem to suggest that political parties have the time and resources to enter inot a one to one dialogue about every single issue that is important to every single person. Government doesn't work like that.
Power means making choices and setting priorities and sometimes thats unpopular. But you never do it . Except when you stumble into power and the realise that your "philosophy" doesn't allow you make decisions that choose one set of interests above another. Look at the basket case you made of Sheffield and absolute joke you are making of Liverpool,
You Fibs have the luxury of telling everyone that you meet what you are against is what they are against. It's pathetic really.
You Fibs have never understood that in the grown up world of governing sometimes you have to give people what they need not what they want.
It also displays a campaign naivety which i thought you had surmounted but obviously not. The reason that you had more people "on the ground" in 2005 is because you targetted the constituency. It was a choice you made. You treated it like a bye-election and we didn't thats why you had more people here than eleswhere. The same was true for us in reverse. if you are tryig to give the impression that Labour in this part of the City is on its uppers you are wasting your time. You are in for a very busy next 2 or 3 years. Don't do what Leech is doing and get comfy and complacent.
