Setting the pace in Godalming
The Times on Monday, under the heading "Campaign tactics prove to be popular with the enemy", showed how Simon Cordon was defining how the election campaign ran for the parties in SW Surrey. The Times said 'Jeremy Hunt, the Tory candidate, admitted that he borrowed the Lib Dem tactics of local campaigning and heavy use of campaign literature'.
Jeremy Hunt said: "We looked at what the Liberal Democrats had done in Guildford and treated it as a seat we didn't hold and therefore had to win right from the start". So the Conservatives campaign is not about issues, its about winning, and when the Conservative PPC admits he is copying the LibDems, it shows how the Lib Dems are really setting the pace in SW Surrey. Indeed one has to ask the question what would he do if Simon Cordon wasn't around?
"Simon Cordon, the Lib Dem candidate, said that voters would recognise the real thing when they saw it" The Times.
