Following on from looking at the Conservative and Labour literature being distributed in Oldham East and Saddleworth, below is a selection of that being pumped out by the Liberal Demcrats.
There are several common themes: the oh-so-familiar bar charts and very stongly worded attacks on the seat's former Labour MP Phil Woolas, whose disqualification has caused the by-election. One leaflet below states that "it's time to clean up politics and put an end to Labour's personal American-style negative campaigning" several lines below the statement "Labour and Phil Woolas have brought shame on the area".
There is, as with the other parties' campaigns, quite a bit about crime and policing: the Lib Dems make the point that the police are facing cutbacks due to Gordon Brown's Government spending money it didn't have.
