Last year the Tories put out one leaflet, and that was about it. This year they have teams of people knocking on doors every night. The fact is the Tories pushed Lib Dems into a distant third in Princes ward last year.<br /><br />I really think this is going to be tight between all three. On poster counts, all parties about the same, but Tory signs are bigger and brighter!Red Ken(nington)noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5614832110829270140.post-28504606972991002742009-05-12T16:07:00.000+01:002009-05-12T16:07:00.000+01:00On posters I can confirm two things.

They were saying this too in the Vassall by election last year (similar demographics to Princes) and got less than 9% of the vote.Rob Blackiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00539163686860852374noreply@blogger.com
