sophia Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 I'm not about to disclose our confidential canvassing data to a football forum. What I will say is that Lord Ashcroft's polls, both the most recent and in terms of the trend, isn't surprising to us. As I suggested and apart from protecting their incumbent seats, the liberals have given up in Scotland. They would prefer that Murphy holds on.

Mr Rational Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Ach leave Libby alone, he's the candidate FFS! He's hardly going to go 'you know what? I'm going to a struggle to keep my deposit, Murphy is a tool and the Tories will keep him in with tactical voting' now is he? It's a daft fitba website with a bunch of yahoos on it. It will also be monitored by folk in parties, looking for dirt to chuck at their opponents. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyAffro Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 He answered it anyway by saying their polling matched Ashcroft's. He could just said that without giving specific figures and that would be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sophia Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 It will also be monitored by folk in parties, looking for dirt to chuck at their opponents. It can't be. He's on record on these boards as suggesting that Danny Alexander sounds "gormless" so I think he's at liberty to be as candid as he chooses on here.

Ira Gaines Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Aye, Ad Lib is definitely the weapon in this exchange. In most cases, he usually is, but you and oaksoft seem determined to make him look better by default. Is he actually paying you money to do that?

FuzzyAffro Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 And insulting more than half of the Scottish electorate by saying they are voting SNP as they are either abandoning their critical thinking faculties or are just stupid. If he was not such an irrelevance in the seat I'm sure any opponent viewing this site would be all over that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ad Lib Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Will they have bothered polling/doing any sort of extensive canvassing (no offence Ad Lib)? More than you probably think we've done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DC92 Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 More than you probably think we've done. Fair enough. I honestly didn't have a clue how many resources are allocated to these sorts of seats, though. I wasn't trying to be disparaging. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ad Lib Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Fair enough. I honestly didn't have a clue how many resources are allocated to these sorts of seats, though. I wasn't trying to be disparaging. No it's a completely fair question. There are some seats where the Lib Dems do negligible canvassing and campaigning and just throw who they have into supporting efforts in held and target neighbouring seats. We've done things a bit differently here in East Ren, as we don't see this as just about the Westminster election but about re-engaging with the electorate and developing an activist base from which to get some councillors back and to build a coalition of support for future Holyrood and Westminster elections. Most of our work has been direct canvassing on the doors and I think people, even those not voting for us, have, on the whole, appreciated our efforts to listen to their concerns and to focus on quality of voter contact rather than just blitz them with 5 or 6 leaflets like Jim has done in some parts.

Mr Rational Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Spot on. Was out in Granton today, a random bloke came up and said 'want to know why labour is getting beat? You are he only guys out in the rain, chappin doors and trying to talk to folk' I may disagree with the libs but the lad has it correct. If you want to win elections, be prepared to wear out shoe leather.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuzzyAffro Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Tbf I slate Ad Lib but he talks a lot of sense at times. I am tipping him to lead the Scottish Lib Dems within 10-15 years. And he is pro-independence, allegedly, so that would be a positive move. If he didn't sell out his principles for power like Clegg and co. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Gaines Posted May 3, 2015 Share Posted May 3, 2015 Personally, I'd love to see him, and his entire party, get fucking decimated in every seat. But I also won't take issue with every little thing no matter how minor and petty as a result. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
