Hackney hustings desert: report from the Lib Dems

Here's Lib Dem candidate Keith Angus' view of the first Hustings of the election: No longer a Hustings virgin.

Keith says Diane Abbott turned up 15 minutes before the debate ended and then joked that she'd blame the people of Hackney if she looked flustered on This Week (which she did - could this explain the last two posts? Diane to publish her medical records and Observer: Diane Abbott has dangerous attitude)

There's other interesting stuff in Keith's report but the final punch line is that the people of Hackney should be demanding more debates from their prospective MPs:

Keith wrote: "There was one thing all four of us agreed on (me, Diane, the Tory and the Green) after the meeting had finished. It’s pretty poor that this is the only hustings we have in our diaries at the moment."

Anyone know who or how these hustings are organised?

I was also wondering what happened on Saturday with Meg Hillier's visit to Leabank Square and Hackneywick.blogspot
