Liberal Democrats have been watching the campaigns of the Labour and Tory parties in Hertfordshire with interest.
The Liberal Democrats launched their Manifesto 'Six to Fix' 100 days out from the local elections on June 4th. Since then there has been apparent disquiet from the politicians of the other two parties. Now we discover they are using our ideas, and our pledges, and passing them off as their own.
The Conservative spin on 'Six to Fix' is to have 'Six Manifesto Pledges'. The Labour Party, on the other hand, have lifted our six key issues in their entirety, pausing only to change the order.
Chris White, Liberal Democrat Group Leader, said: 'In some ways this is the best compliment for our Manifesto: it shows we are leading the way on exactly what the voters want and that the other parties are finding on the doorstep that the voters like what we have to say.
'But, as ever - beware of imitations!'
