Liberal Democrat campaign gains huge momentum in South Suffolk
Mon 2nd May 2005
The Liberal Democrat campaign in South Suffolk is gaining momentum as more and more Labour voters switch to the Liberal Democrats. Lord Phillips of Sudbury said "I have been amazed at the strength of feeling on the Iraq war and the number of lifelong Labour supporters who are switching to the Liberal Democrats at this election. Many Conservative voters are also switching to us because they don't like Michael Howard's negative campaigning. Kathy Pollard is an excellent candidate with a record of achievement who would be an outstanding MP for this area."
