LibDems take Cambridge

Way too late, but I was pleased to see the end of Anne Campbell's time as my MP, and her replacement by David Howarth of the Liberal Democrats. This election was the first time I've been involved in campaigning for a political party and it was nice that it was the winning one.

I was inspired to get involved after going to the No2id meeting in January. I spoke to a couple of LibDem councillors after the meeting and they gave me the impression that Cambridge was winnable. Since I was well fed up with Labour by then, I started leafletting for them, and I even did a bit of knocking up on Election Day - a slightly nerve-wracking experience, I have to say.

Still, I'm hoping to do a bit more, particularly as youngest Freestone gets old enough not to need a feed at 11pm - that really buggers your evening up (although I am grateful for the fact that she doesn't need feeding at 2-3am now).
