1. Oddly enough.....
...I live in a constituency next door to Sheffield Hallam and the 1 leaflet I've seen from the Lib Dems did have Clegg's ugly mug on it! Makes me wonder if the article is just mischief making.

To be honest the Lib Dem leaflet was dreadful. A rant about the national debt that could well have been a cut & paste job from a Tory blog. Not one mention was made of any local issue (which is very odd for the Lib Dems given that it's local elections that are due) and the leaflet made no attempt to argue for voting for Lib Dems over the Tories (which again is very odd as the Tories are the main party in my ward).

The 1 leaflet I had from Labour was very banal indeed. I've yet to get leafleted by the Tories.

As regards Sheffield, I haven't been gallavanting around the leafier Clegg voting areas but I haven't seen any Lib Dem posters. Only 1 Labour poster and a number of Green party posters in Sheffield Central ward where the Greens are strong.
