Liberal today, Tory tomorrow...

It's all getting heated in Portsmouth South with just two weeks to go

*Conservative's Flick Drummond's shadow report to follow

Politics is currently bombarding our television screens, newspapers, and more. With the general election just around the corner, parliamentary candidates are thorough in their campaigns, determined to win the marginal seat, here in Portsmouth South.

In almost 100 years, the seat has famously belong to a Liberal Democrat or Conservative candidate, with Labour unseen.

On Thursday, I followed parliamentary candidate, Gerald Vernon-Jackson, of the Liberal Democrats, and here is what took place...

An army of volunteers flood through the local office contributing to the campaigning of both Portsmouth North and South candidates: Darren Sanders and Gerald Vernon-Jackson.

I took the opportunity to discuss the reasons as to why those supporting him [GVJ] felt he was right for the job. Mr Vernon-Jackson led Portsmouth City Council for 10 years before stepping down to concentrate on leading the party locally and what he does now. Evidently, many told that his experience and heart for the city is what will lead him to winning. Who knows?

Gerald emphasised throughout the day that he wishes to be a local MP working, and building relationship, with his constituents. He added that he's not interested in gaining power as a front-bencher, but aims to be a voice for Portsmouth South, putting up a fight as and when it is required.

It was a fierce evening at The News' Hustings on Thursday evening, with cross-audience arguments, and much disagreement between the panel.

With the general election soon to be upon us, I'm curious to find out about what you think of politics, the politicians and policies. Comment away and have your say.
