We've had material from Labour and Lib Dems. In such a tight contest you can't really blame parties for focusing their efforts in marginals and this is all done by volunteers/members who are not as numerous as they once were. Votes are not wasted as turnout and majorities will be examined in any results discussions. I think it is more about looking at the bigger picture than the local MP - austerity, NHS etc. Proportional representation might be the way to go, judging by the seeming failure of the former main parties to mop up previously secure voting populations. It is important to exercise one's right to vote and if all in this area who could did so, maybe it wouldn't be such a foregone conclusion. If it will always come out in one particular way, even with a higher turnout, then that suggests a large number of people in the constituency have similar priorities.
