It will be interesting to see if campaigning parties in Swansea West constituency take up this offer from
Unity at Liberal Conspiracy to apply a Graph-Fix service to what he describes as “y-axis” abuse on election materials. The view in the Lib Dem camp is that tory contender Rene Kinzett will be unlikely to challenge anything as he has hardly been seen out of the stump this year. They also claim that local Conservatives have all but conceded that the seat is not winnable given the handicap of a part-time candidate and the majority of their resources diverted into the fight to win neighbouring Gower.
Then again, as we've mentioned before, the result from 2005 was achieved when the Lib Dem candidate was Rene Kinzett - who also held the role of spokesman for a hotch-potch political administration at County Hall which was still being given the benefit of the doubt. How times and circumstances have changed.

This graph was lifted from the Lib Dem website and not an election leaflet. Does that count?
Never mind the graph, where does the 335 come from? The Labour majority in Swansea West in 2005 was 4,269 (41.8% of the vote).
And the Labour majority in 2007 was 1511 - so go figure.
The 335 comes from the European Elections. Swansea West must be one of the few Consituancies in Wales which the Lib Dems wil be showing graphs for that election. Also they were only 273 votes ahead of the Tories. Dishonesty from the Lib Dems surely not?
It's from the Euro elections in 2009 - if you look at the constituency result for Swansea West, the Lib Dems are 335 behind Labour.
The Labour Party 3534
Liberal Democrats 3199
