Are there any BHAFC supporters voting for Norman Baker ?

[Uncle Spielberg]

I am now in his constituency. Shame he was such a bell end re the Stadium as apart from that he is by far the best option in this area and I would have voted for him, largely to his excellent work with Animal welfare issues. As it is, it is a NON STARTER so it will have to be the Tories or if I feel like it on the day and for the sheer hell of it, Nige

Anyone in the Lewes area gong to vote for Baker and even more bravely state it here ?

 

[Thunder Bolt]

Certainly not. He's sold Newhaven down the river, metaphorically and literally. His campaign leaflet shows a photo of him standing by the entrance to the West Beach which was taken by a photographer on Facebook. To my knowledge, he hasn't given any credit or asked for permission to use it. He may have done so now, in which case I apologise (in case he sues)
He should have been pushing for improvements to the A27 Beddingham to Polegate stretch but prevaricated over that. I don't recollect him doing anything beneficial for our constituency at all.
We're looking likely to lose Tide Mills beach as well now.

 

[Uncle Spielberg]

This is my point, how many voters has he lost in the last 5 years ? He may not be the shu in everyone seems to think

 

[Gwylan]

I think that Lord and Lady Bracknell may well have a few words for those supporting Maria Caulfield

Not in his constituency so cannot comment from personal experience; however from what I have seen in the media, he has been pushing hard for the reopening of the Lewes to Uckfield line. Would this sway any voters?

 

[Papa Lazarou]

Having driven through his constituency a few times recently, he wins the banner war hands down, with conservative posters / placards very much is second spot.

It's only Newhaven people that feel that way. Lewes & Seaford dwellers won't care so will re-elect him.

It could be the UKIP vote that saves Norman's bacon.

living in the constituency i've seen a single pamphlet from Liberals, and didn't seem election focused (their general news). Conservatives has dropped a number through, seem to be making a strong fight for it. incidentally UKIP's leaflet this weekend was distributed by an asian lad, which i enjoyed.

Although I think some UKIP votes may swing back to the Tory fold. I think he will win though.

Do you know who is the bookies fav?

 

[Elvis]

The latest poll suggest the: Libs on 36%, Con 32% Lab 8% ukip 15% Green 8%. So unless the UKip vote jumps ship to the Tories he should be safe.

 

[Frutos]

Certainly bloody not.

He's 1/4, with the Tories 11/4.

If I lived in Newhaven, I'd vote for him to keep the Tories out. Obviously it would grate and I'd prefer any other Lib Dem candidate to run in his place. And despite what [MENTION=14365]Thunder Bolt[/MENTION] is saying, he is clearly a decent enough MP. The Lib Dems are getting an absolute kicking in this GE, and yet he's expected to hold his seat with ease.

 

[Thunder Bolt]

He had a 7000 majority at the last election, so it would take a large swing for him to lose his seat.

I'm glad you have posted this.
Someone I know was singing the praises of Norman Baker, I asked them to give me a list of things he has done for Newhaven, I got no reply.

His leaflet said he campaigned against the incinerator and to get the West Beach opened, well that worked
