In an otherwise negative article about the LibDems in today's Sunday Times, Jenny Hjul comes up with the following anecdote :Unscientific evidence suggests that in the former Labour or Nationalist strongholds of Dundee, octogenarians charmed by the telegenic alternative to Brown and Cameron are switching en masse. This is very good news for Clegg and Co because the elderly are the demographic most likely actually to go out and vote on May 6.
I have news for Jenny. Those of us who have been chapping on the doors of Dundee households over the past few weeks know it is a wee bit wider than the elderly vote - voters of all ages in Dundee are switching to the LibDems, mainly at the expense of Labour & SNP - and the Tory vote has all but collapsed.
