WEEKEND REPORTS
REPORT-BACK
Reflecting on Saturday's events, John Beanse reports:"Yesterday morning was spent handing out leaflets and talking to shoppers at Chingford Mount and George Lane, South Woodford. Our loudspeaker car toured the constituency, hammering our key messages of standing for FAIRNESS, FREEDOM and TRUST and that the Liberal Democrats are The REAL Alternative in this election.
In the evening, I joined 3 of the other candidates at the hustings meeting at All Saints, Woodford Wells - and I thank the church for organising this public debate.
TIME FOR CONVICTION
Local Liberal Democrat Parliamentary candidate for Chingford & Woodford Green John Beanse this week has drawn attention to an "Independent on Sunday" opinion poll, which asked how people would vote "if they thought that the Liberal Democrats could win in their constituency".
Local Liberal Democrat Parliamentary candidate for Chingford & Woodford Green John Beanse this week has drawn attention to an "Independent on Sunday" opinion poll, which asked how people would vote "if they thought that the Liberal Democrats could win in their constituency".
The results came out: Lib.Dem. 37%; Lab. 28%; and Conservative 26%.
John Beanse commented:
"This is a really revealing result which is encouraging for the Liberal Democrats - but it also underlines yet again the fact that if all the people who would vote Liberal Democrat if they thought they could win actually did so, we WOULD win!
Under our antiquated and frequently unjust voting system, far too many people end up voting for one party because they want to keep "the other lot" out. I urge people in this election to have the courage of their convictions and, if they would like to support the Liberal Democrats, to vote poisitively for what they really believe in."
