The Guardian has an interview with Caroline Pidgeon, the Lib Dem candidate for London Mayor. After disclaiming any responsibility for the cold that has afflicted all the candidates, she says this about her campaign:
Overall, it’s gone well. Ordinary people are saying they like what I’m saying on childcare and cheaper fares that are affordable. And that’s not just in places where we are strong, like Sutton, or in Bermondsey, where I’m known.
She says this of her two main rivals, Zac Goldsmith and Sadiq Khan and the dirty campaign they have been running:
I think both of them, but particularly Zac, will wish they hadn’t done it. It’s damaged their reputations. Zac has always been seen by most people as a decent kind of guy.
On the doorstep voters are still confused about the voting processes for the London elections – and that is not surprising because they will be presented with three ballot papers, each using a different voting system.
