Britgirl, don't read too much into polls on this forum. The average member hasn't seen what's written here. This forum may sway a few dozen votes, but the 'real' race is the one going on behind the scenes with the thousands of members who don't bother to attend party meetings.

DCB's leaflet to all members looks great, he's campaigning on real issues and people have heard of the name.

I don't think Richard will beat DCB.

PS. Every DCB supporter I've spoken to was intending to vote for Farage if DCB hadn't stood. DCB is starting to hurt Farage's chances.
I agree that the work is happening behind the scenes with the non active members and not only by the Candidates.

Richard's address clearly states the issues under the relevant headings rather than having to read through all the copy as presented by DCB.

Matter of opinion of course for Richard not to beat DCB is unlikely to be the issue, it will be whether the balance moves to Richard or Nigel. Votes for DCB are more likely to affect Nigel, hopefully thereby letting Richard through. I don't think any of the Candidates are sufficiently 'rounded' to achieve a really decisive winner.
