Your Help in Ealing Southall Could Make THE Difference!

3.31.30pm BST (GMT +0100) Wed 18th Jul 2007

With polls opening in the Ealing Southall Parliamentary by-election in under 18 hours, Liberal Democrat Chief Executive Chris Rennard has sent a final message to Party supporters, thanking them for the help to date and asking for any additional help possible over the next 30 hours.

Lord Rennard said:

"In Sedgefield, we are becoming stronger challengers every day. Greg and his team have been fighting a fantastic campaign.

"As the campaigns move to the crucial closing stages, it is clear that the Conservatives are in trouble and Labour are in danger."

"In Ealing Southall, the Tory campaign has backfired spectacularly. They have been hurt by the revelation that the Conservative candidate helped raise funds for Labour just before they appointed him.

"We have a very real chance of electing Nigel Bakhai tomorrow if enough Liberal Democrat supporters turn up to help our campaign during today and of course from VERY early tomorrow.

"The result really is on a knife-edge. If you can come to help at any time today or tomorrow, do please make the effort."

Members and supporters can turn up at any time at the Ealing Southall Campaign HQ at Unit 5, Urban Hive, Grand Union Way, Bridge Road, Southall, Middlesex UB2 4EX or phone 020 8574 8826 in advance to let them know you are coming.
