The Final Push

Well it has been a short but very intense campaign for the Borehamwood North County seat and thankfully we have managed to get quite a few troops out leafletting and doing the voter ID.

This, for me, has been about Labour wanting to win again in Borehamwood, and if the helpers turnout is anything to go by, we certainly do!

So now with less than 24 hours till the polls open and still a fair bit to do it is up to the voters, hopefully they will turn my way. If the vibes are anything to go by we have built up a head of steam and earned an enormous amount of respect where ever and from who ever we have we have spoken to.

Of course all of this will be for nought if we fail to win the seat back that was held for us for 28 years by John Metcalf. On that can I say that nobody has worked harder than John in this campaign, bundling leaflets, getting them out to the deliverers and doing hundreds himself, fantastic. Also special mention to my agent Ann Harrison, she has kept everyone calm and also done her fair share of the deliveries too. Making up a trio of trojans is the CLP Chair Di Hoeksma also around at my place almost daily for more bundling and delivering....simply brilliant.

Whilst all this has been going on my main opponent, Rabbi (I will still call him that even if he has dropped the title for the election!) Alan Plancey has been seen briefly although they have managed to get his leaflet out, especially to some Labour stalwarts including a former Labour Group Leader on the Borough Council! Great Voter I D guys!

Any way the Rabbi still hasn't said why he dropped the title (we can probably guess why) and he still hasn't denounced his party leader over the Latvian and Polish anti-Semites, the ones they are now partners with in Europe. Even the Americans are getting fidgety over the issue and it looks like William Hague is in for a tough time when he meets Hillary Clinton this week!

So the Final Push has begun watch this space for the result!
