Bye Bye?

It reads like a script from "The New Statesman"; in 2011, I predicted that Hunt would keep his seat unless opposed by a united front on an anti-corruption or save the NHS platform. It comes to pass, the LibDem has been disqualified. Is this the opportunity the NHAP need.

  1. The LibDem will remain on the ballot paper and it's a lot to pull back, the LibDems are much less popular than 5 years ago, but then so are the Tories. The NHAP announce (some of) the Surrey LibDems support for them and their hope for a Portillo, or maybe a Mellor moment.

    The Lib Dems came a pretty poor second in South West Surrey in 2010, the County Council elected in 2013 is pretty solidly Tory, but the Tories did not win the Surrey Police Commissioner elections. The county includes Hunt's constituency and the ward results are available.
