"If you need a lift to vote on thursday 5th may, please call 383 xxxx"

    No, all parties off lifts. It's their way of trying to maximise their turnout.

    My grandad used to get a lift from the local Tories and then vote Labour :D

    Why would it be illegal? I'm sure your precious Lib Dems offer this service too.
