I knon' many of you do not want the

Conser-vatives back. Neither do I. The Lib
Dems have said that thei' n'ill support the
Tories if there is a hung parliament. Tiv
asking the Lib Dem candidate to ruie
out voting in a Tory Government.
This means that there is only one way to
vote to keep the Conservatives out -
Labour.

In this seat a Labour vote will give you a

principled MP and nationallf it r'r'i1l
reduce the case for a Tory
