Dulwich: Labour is still strong but the Liberal Democrats are making gains…
On Wednesday, the day before the local elections, to get my 10,000 steps I walked from West Norwood to Peckham Rye canvassing a range of views on the next days election. The general consensus of the people interested in sharing their expectations of the outcome of the election did not expect a Tory collapse but felt the Tories are slipping, especially with homeowners….
Still, Labour supporters, were not holding their breath for this or the next election
“ Its all still up in the air” nobody seeming confident that the current occupants of Downing streets would be evicted. “The keys are not in the post Sir Keir!!!
Also on my walk, asking people their views of the current incumbents, most –like me- scratched their heads wondering what ever happened to our local Member for Parliament. The only politician anyone could recall who was doing a good job was called Tessa?
The traditional Labour supporters complained, in different ways, sometimes directly, sometimes in code. But the news are not the best for the current office holders in this South London area who seem to be storing up trouble while they tell each other “Darling-you-were-wonderful”…
I understand that 95% of all professional political productivity consists of inter-office politics, spent writing missives and memorandums, essentially promoting their own careers amongst themselves, which is not going to be enough…
