These shameful tactics from the Greens would indicate it's much closer than that now.

[This is me]

I live in the constituency & it is Conservative for me, however, ours is the only home that i have seen with a Tory poster in the window.
Go round Hanover & it's green all the way :-(

The most telling thing in that article the how the quality of University students has dropped. After all, why would they not be able to use a postal vote ? Once you leave the borders of Sussex do postboxes just disappear ?

A cynical act by the Greens.

 

[Tom Bombadil]

Can someone explain why that is cynical?

The OP said locals only yet people from Hove, Newhaven and Haywards Heath have voted in the poll

Because a proxy vote should only be given to someone you know and trust - not some random person manning a stall. What if you change your mind on the eve of the poll ? How are these students meant to inform their proxy of their change of heart ? Besides, what makes these students incapable of finding a post box ?

It's particularly cynical because activists of one particular party are offering the 'service' - I doubt very much they would accept a proxy from someone who wished them to place a vote for another party.

Research published this morning suggests that university students' support for the Greens and in particular dear Natalie is fading very badly.

Caroline Lucas to win though.

 

[Diego Napier]

Can someone explain why that is cynical?

Because it's an act done in support of a party in which he is obsessed?

 

[spring hall convert]

Leave that money in your pocket, unless you are going large at short odds on a Lucas win.

 

[Don Quixote]

Labour for me.

 

[Lush]

Caroline Lucas is a great MP and I'll be voting for her again.

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Lucas.

Did I read/hear that there are 7.5m that haven't made it on to the Electoral Register, as a result of Coalition changes to the registration process? This seems like a far more cynical, and dangerous ploy.

cant resist a poll

 

[Mellor 3 Ward 4]

Lucas will win easily.

Kemp town and hove far closer.

 

[Raleigh Chopper]

Why has Brighton Pavillion got the only Green MP in the country?

Modernising how people register ( i.e. moving mainly online ) and making registrations individual rather than household based to help prevent fraud is cynical ? Registering is as easy as it is to drop your postal vote in a post box so I fail to see a problem. I do see a problem with people signing away their vote to some random stranger.
