Coppard has very shrewdly courted some voting blocs against Clegg which looks likely to return a change of seat. This could prove interesting with Creasey running well against Blomfield in Central Ward and two other incumbent labour MPs retiring in this election. It looks like there could be some close run battles and changes in the city representation.
Mind you, I'm still waiting for the rumbles of negative politics in adjacent Rotherham to blow up against Labour in the wake of the child abuse scandal. I'm wondering if UKIP are waiting for a good moment but getting continually scuppered by their own bad press.
they have done that to an extent but a very hostile press and their lack of pr experience has left them looking like utter prats. A couple of big public loses on AV and tuition fees etc has distracted from how fucking bad a tory majority government could have been
