A TOSS of a coin could decide the North Shropshire by-election, according to the Liberal Democrats.
The party knocked on more than 23,000 doors last weekend with more than 1,000 volunteers on the ground during the final week in support of parliamentary candidate Helen Morgan who is hoping to knock the Conservatives our of their safe seat.
And the party believes they are within a whisker of beating the Tories.
Liberal Democrat sources on the ground have said that the result will depend completely on turnout on the day, whether voters stay at home or head out and vote to send a message to the Government. Even Conservative sources on the ground are saying that the election could come down to just a few hundred people.
On eve of the poll, Helen was joined on the campaign trail by five Liberal Democrat MPs.
It comes as Labour and the Greens voters are planning to lend their support to the Liberal Democrats tactically, particularly in Oswestry where the party has delivered thousands of extra leaflets asking residents to back Helen.
However, this has been denied by the Labour Party.
Ms Morgan said: “Today, thousands of voters in North Shropshire have a chance to send a message to Boris Johnson’s incompetent government by voting Liberal Democrat.
“Residents in North Shropshire just want a fair deal where their ambulance service crisis is solved, farmers are backed the area is no longer taken for granted.
“We have a once in a generation chance to send a message to the Government today to end the decades of Conservatives taking us for granted, we should take our opportunity.”
Don’t forget, the Oswestry Advertizer will be running a live blog as the election count takes place starting Thursday evening.
