But that's the point LS! JL does NOT treat the electorate with contempt. He's got a longstanding well proven track record of working his socks off for his constituents. Until you face that truth and do something about it you have no chance whatsoever of beating him. He has a very strong personal following because of that. It's precisely because of his personaly following that he got such a huge swing in his direction last time. He got the benefit of the anti-labour swing nationally PLUS his personal popularity, which is why he got the biggest swing in England. JL is a smart operator on the ground. You guys should learn from him
