MOST people in Oxford West & Abingdon don’t want to see Nicola Blackwood MP voted back into the House of Commons. The Lib Dem cannot win. Only Labour’s Sally Copley can take the seat on May 7.
Lord Ashcroft’s polling shows Labour and Lib Dem support neck and neck, with the Tories in the lead.
But if people who voted Lib Dem last time vote Labour on May 7 Ms Blackwood could be out of a job.
Back in the 2010 General Election Dr Evan Harris only just lost the constituency. Since then Lib Dem support in Oxford West & Abingdon has collapsed by almost half.
The Lib Dems will never be forgiven for putting the Tories into power and breaking their promise to scrap student fees. Only Sally Copley can deliver higher living standards for working families.
The choice is allowing a split opposition to let in the Tory or to vote Labour. To save the NHS, cut tuition fees, improve child care, and still balance the books, the clear choice this time is Labour.
Cllr JOHN TANNER City Councillor for Littlemore & County Councillor for Isis Sunningwell Road Oxford
