Our strategy now should be to emphasise that only the Lib Dems can win the election outright - because that's what this surge means.Tom Kinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06389918199710656405noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3881762807913180318.post-33542597076087534742010-04-20T08:56:42.183+01:002010-04-20T08:56:42.183+01:00We just have to go for it. 40% or bust.

Check out this from a few months before the election in 2005:<br /><br />http://www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/politics/lib-dems-could-win-election-poll-shows-488834.html<br /><br />So many people have always *wanted* to vote Lib Dem but been put off by the idea of 'letting Labour/Tories in'. When that fear is laid to rest, we're headed for victory.Steph Ashleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07203857483437132885noreply@blogger.com
