How on earth can this type of stunt gain votes?

I wouldn't waste my vote on someone who spends his time doing idiotic stunts.

Nor me.

....and I don't like Labour either!

I'm very disappointed with him. I'm fed up with the Tories

I think he needs to change his advisor/PR company, three daft stunts on three consecutive days. I dread to think what he will get up to tomorrow.

He is becoming a complete laughing stock in my eyes.

He did baking at a school, which I suppose is relatively normal. Still did it with an idiotic grin on his face though.

Today he's published a photo of how much he and his wife care for their son who has extra needs.

I’m the floating voter who won’t vote Tory because we need a fresh start and can’t vote Labour because of the mess they’ve made in Wales.

I’ve voted LibDem a lot in the past but their present leader is fast becoming a plonker with these stunts - Boris seemed a natural at this sort of thing but it seems to me that Ed Davey is trying to inherit his “man of the people all round good bloke” persona and it looks plain daft on him!

Lord only knows where I go next - I’ve never not voted in a general election since I started in March 1974, maybe it’s back to Plaid Cymru!

I'm also the floating voter who won't vote Tory. Up to this time I've voted LibDem and have campaigned for them, but his stunts and the fact that meanwhile party workers on the ground are working their socks off, mean I'm thinking very hard about what to do this time. I'm thinking Green at present.

Oh dear. What was he thinking?. Absolutely daft and not going to attract voters. I used to be LD but can't vote for such silliness.

I can’t stand him. This stunt just about says it all about him - a clown!

At least he isn’t waving flags at the same time. I suppose it gets him, and by default his party, noticed, which would probably not happen if he didn’t do stunts.

I wonder if any here who say they will vote tactically for the LD candidate will think twice after all this silliness?

He is really annoying me.
Looks like a complete prat.

I don't think Davey's crazy stunts are doing the Lib Dems any favours at all.

I just happened across this on our local news. I wonder how his publicity agents can think this can gain support. I actually used to support them, but this has put the final nail in that particular coffin. uk.news.yahoo.com/ed-davey-makes-another-big-093106099.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAJ24UR0kavxgJS75lc5DyCCRTzbJ43zNqlOz19toJnaXVQDwacFXTukmz-uuR41KHENINilReDzjO_nosuzR8a8chYKiCmZTS4ccjw8f2rH6dXEQYQfGKdeJy2HAfhQIHq09hwHZCmKCOgJ4UeRSWygcKhW0Gd1pXeEF8Q9xVSi7
