In their report of the election debate in Lightcliffe on 2 February 2010, reporters from the Brighouse Echo praised Liberal Democrat candidate Hilary Myers:
Hilary Myers, like all good Lib-Dems, talked sense, came over well and praised the invincible Vince Cable.
When it came to predicting the chances of the various candidates, their verdict was as follows:
Echo ante-post betting looks something like this … 6/4 Whittaker, 7/2 Myers, 4/1 Booth, 12/1 O’Connor and Sweeny, 33/1 Burrows, 66/1 A.N. Other.
These odds put Hilary Myers in second place, above Labour candidate Steph Booth. It is becoming increasingly clear that Labour have blown their chance, and that the Liberal Democrats are now the only real alternative to the Conservatives in Calder Valley.
