We finished second across the constituency in the most recent elections – those in May. You can also judge our chances by the relative poster displays in the constituency – lots of Lib Dem posters and very few Labour ones. Or by the reports from journalists who have been to the seat and spoken with voters, or indeed the comment by Labour MP Yasmin Qureshi to Times Radio that Labour were “never going to win” North Shropshire and that the Lib Dems have an “opportunity to do so”.
