In a Skipton Armchair

An armchair activist's view of the political campaigns to the left (Skipton) and to the right (Keighley). From a LibDem supporter who really should get out of this armchair and help them out. I wasn't planning to update this, but then there's as much reason as ever to continue the tales on the build up to the 2009/2010 election.

The Skipton Situation

I will be voting in the Skipton and Ripon constituency.

Skipton may go LibDem, but Ripon is rock hard Tory. Together they make the 92nd Target seat for the LibDems (Labour vote is non-existent).

In other words, if Skipton was to go LibDem, they're looking at winning 150 seats. Looks like the current MP, David Curry is safe for now...
