Crikey, you don't half get excited over some odd things, diddly. Why don't you wait and see?

[diddlydo]

I'm already excited about staying awake to see it, as is my daughter who lives in Raab's constituency. She says that the LibDem candidate is running a brilliant campaign.

[naomi24]

Coo ... big night for you then!

[dannyk13]

More rubbish from the far left wing rag.

[naomi24]

Ahhh, have a heart, danny. She's excited.

[mushroom25]

well the lib-dems have to be allowed a window of encouragement, now that the tone of their leader's campaign has, in the past week, gone from "I can be prime minister" to "well I think we can dent a conservative majority".....

[naomi24]

Jo Swinson in full flow reminds me of an enthusiastic, well-scrubbed sixth former rallying the team in anticipation of a win in a game of hockey.

[dannyk13]

She just prattles along without any conviction.

[naomi24]

I think she's incredibly naïve. I'd go as far as to say dopey.

[gulliver1]

Diddly 12.06 , Yes a very exciting post .

[naomi24]

Oh no! See what you've done now, diddly! Gulliver's come over all unnecessary again! ;o)

[ToraToraTora]

I can't wait for 13/12 !

[Theland]

Naomi - I like that. Swinson, "Head Girl."

Current Odds in Esher & Walton:

Conservatives: 4/11
Lib NonDems: 2/1
Labour: 50/1

[emmie]

we will have to wait and see... i agree about Jo Swinson, head girl at some obscure public school

[mushroom25]

Claim: A Survation poll for Esher and Walton shows the Liberal Democrats polling ahead of incumbent MP Dominic Raab.

Conclusion: Survation’s poll wasn’t of the constituency, it was a national survey of voting intention which was then used to model an estimate of what local voting could be – this might not be reliable.

[dannyk13]

Even the Guardian article has Dominic Raab 5 points ahead.

[retrocop]

Gosh what excitement. I bet there’s a big run on Tena pads in gulliver and diddly’s villages.

[Old_Geezer]

I can't understand how any LibDem candidate can possibly be running a brilliant campaign. Are they claiming that they don't agree with the party line and will stick up for democracy in defiance of the party after all ? Maybe such a candidate needs to reconsider whether it's in their best interest to be associated with a party that thinks it knows better than the citizens, and wants to defy the citizens' wishes.

[ToraToraTora]

Raab had 25000 more votes than the lib non dems last time. That's a lot to turn over diddly, look elsewhere for a possible upset me old china.
