Nick Clegg: I’m going to win in Sheffield

The Deputy Prime Minister has responded to polling suggesting he may lose his Sheffield Hallam seat in May:

“I’m going to win. The poll, as it happens, didn’t even mention the candidates names and our own polling, where it does, it always shows a significant uplift in our support.

“And just if you look at the way people have voted rather than what they’ve said to Lord Ashcroft since 2010 people in Sheffield have consistently voted Liberal Democrat. Of the 16 local elections we’ve had since 2010, we’ve won 14 since 2010, so I’m confident, not complacent, but confident we’re going to win.”
