Why Lincoln, Sleaford and North Hykeham matter to Stoke-on-Trent
In the world of politics "one more heave" has all the images of failure. It conjures up the notion that if you keep trying you succeed eventually thus creating the cycle of failure, by always trying again. So in that sense, I have changed my own personal politics over time to ensure that every election is specific and that I get something out of it regardless of the result. Indeed, when I mentor candidates I often tell them "that you learn much more when you lose than if you win". This has the added advantage for me as a Liberal Democrat of being involved in a range of elections and constantly learning.
