RESPONSE: A Goan girl, Suella Fernandes, is standing against him - we should not support her? http://www.goanvoice.org.uk/ Thursday 28 Apr, 2005 Case of the swing voter: An electoral mystery Letter from Britain 27 Apr: International Herald Tribune. Early in Britain's election campaign, Suella Fernandes, a candidate for the Conservative opposition, leapt to the microphone and promised an audience that "Leicester Woman" from her constituency in central England was about to stun the nation. "In 1997, Leicester Woman put her trust in Mr. Blair," she said, referring to the British prime minister's first electoral triumph. "In 2001 she decided to give him a second chance." But come election day on May 5, "Leicester Woman is going to give Mr. Blair a big surprise that will wipe the smile off his face and put a smile on everybody else's." … "It's not a case of flinging the crockery at him," Fernandes said, in what seemed a triumph of hope over probability, "She's going to kick him out of the house."
