Gosh! (we on 'Liberal Bureaucracy' still believe in old-fashioned courtesies)
I got home yesterday evening after a session of interviewing potential Haringey council candidates, eager to find out what had happened in Dunfermline and West Fife. Rumours had been floating about that a surprise was on the cards but I still have to admit to being stunned by Willie Rennie's 1,800 vote majority.
If ever an unpromising backdrop was turned into golden sunrise, this was probably it. What with the somewhat botched removal of Charles (and most of us will never know exactly who did what to whom), the Oaten fiasco (stupid, stupid, stupid...), the Hughes outing (and why was this news?), and the subsequent poll wobble, you had to fear for even the best candidate and campaign team. But with this win comes a real boost to the spirit, and I daresay that the odd council ward may fall our way through the enthusiasm that it engenders. I certainly hope that it does...
