Following the televised leaders' debate last Thursday, the Liberal Democrats have achieved an extraordinary boost in the polls with a YouGov poll in The Sun putting the Party in the lead with 33%, the Conservatives on 32% and Labour on 26%.

Margaret Rowley, Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Mid-Worcestershire said

"This is fantastic news. Nick Clegg's performance in the leader's debate was no surprise to me as I have seen him in a number of similar debates and question and answer sessions. I'm delighted that our policies are now being listened to and debated seriously.

"While out and about in the constituency over the last two weeks, I've found that people are interested in politics again, and it is the Liberal Democrats who have opened up the debate.

"We've had 65 years of Labour and the Conservatives with the two parties taking turns and making the same mistakes. The Liberal Democrats are offering the chance of a real change that works for you, building a fairer Britain.

"Only the Liberal Democrats have the big ideas for fundamental, structural changes in the way the country works to make it fair.

"Only the Liberal Democrats will shake up the tax system to put £700 back in the pockets of tens of thousands of low paid and middle-income families, paid for by ensuring the wealthy pay their fair share.

"Only the Liberal Democrats will break up the banks and start Britain making things again, creating a sustainable economy that no longer threatens our planet's future.

"Only the Liberal Democrats will invest in our schools to give every child a fair start in life, and only the Liberal Democrats will sort out our rotten political system once and for all."
