Why did the voters of True Blue Tory #CheshamAndAmersham go #LibDems this time? Here’s my take (tldr - much more than nimbyism) First, obvs, it’s a by-election, the message that “this won’t change the Gov’t but can change how they see us” resonated, and the Libdems had a brilliant candidate, good recent local elections and a ton of helpers piling in. Tories seemed complacent, voters like to be wooed.
