The brilliant result in Richmond Park on Thursday has given a real boost to the other Parliamentary by-election happening right now - in the Sleaford and North Hykeham constituency in Lincolnshire. This by-election was called after the Tory MP resigned over the Government's approach to the single market, and whilst it may be at the other end of the 'remain vote scale' from Richmond Park, there are still many thousands of people looking for a strong and positive voice for their views.
The local party has been working hard over the past few weeks under the radar. However, now Richmond Park is won, we desperately need as many people as possible to focus their attentions here to deliver the best result possible on Thursday.
On Friday, our candidate in the election, Ross Pepper, was joined by Party Leader Tim Farron MP and the work continued on Saturday, with over 50 people coming to help deliver newspapers and Focus leaflets or to stuff letters.
Ross Pepper's campaign is the biggest Liberal Democrat campaign Lincolnshire has ever seen, delivering tens of thousands of leaflets, and receiving a great reception from an area traditionally taken for granted by the Tories. Local media are even starting to ask, whether, "after shock victory [in Richmond Park] could Lib Dems now win Sleaford by-election?"
