I'm emailing this to Bob Sullivan as well, but any special plans this weekend? And can anyone offer some local knowledge about a good place to hold a Drinks event in the evening?

This appears to be a split Ward where we hold the other two seats and are the second largest Party to Labour who are in a N.O.C. situation.
A few extra votes would clinch it but it will probably be a very tough fight with Labour. (Cons got less than 10% in 2006)
The Regional (and Federal) Party should give such by-elections a much higher profile and greater encouragement to outside activists to get stuck in.

A Lib Dem win

1. will be one of the first tests (indirectly) of our new Leader during his first 100 days.

2. It will demoralise Labour in Waltham Forest who look like losing the title of largest Party to us in 2010.

3. It will increase our chances of winning the parliamentary seat.

Perhaps Nick Clegg should keep a slot free in his Diary to go and get a photo-op congratulating Winnie on her win!

I think that much mileage could be achieved from a Lib Dem gain but it will only happen if it is given the same kind of attention as a parliamentary by-election starting now!
