    You have to remember that very few people have a strong interest in politics, so that, for those people who want to be rid of the Conservatives, if asked in a poll, will likely react by stating that they are going to vote Labour ‘as they are the only party big enough to beat them’, even if this isn’t the case in a particular constituency. Intensive local campaigning in the run up to a GE can correct these views, to a certain extent, though there are inevitably going to be seats where the LDs will be frustrated at being denied victory by votes going to a third placed Labour candidate, by voters casting their ballot based on the national picture.
