UKIP thinks Corbyn is a negative for LAB – but how much of a negative?
I’ve never been convinced by the above style approach to campaigning which is quite common – a mock leaflet that looks as though it has come from your opponent.
This is the sort of thing that activists really like but does it get through to potential LAB to UKIP switchers which appears to be the objective?
The policy positions are not accurate and following what happened to Phil Woolas in Oldham East in 2010 party machines have got to be careful.
