Writing in The Independent today, John Curtice, Professor of Politics at Strathclyde University, has Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland down as a good Labour prospect tomorrow. Clearly, he bases his prognostication on the whopping Labour vote in the city. We won't get all that tomorrow; on the other hand, the disaffected Asian vote will largely go to the independent with, in the absence of a LibDem, Labour as second preference. For once, the Labour vote in the county will be critical. We should win in the north - Charnwood, Coalville etc - but the east is a write-off, except in Melton, and Hinckley & Bosworth is never easy to call. So it is clearly important that here in the south we get our Labour votes in early, when nobody's looking, and do nothing to startle the Tories.
VOTE EARLY---VOTE LABOUR---VOTE SARAH.
