Deputy Prime Minister Nick Clegg visited the London seats of two of his fellow Liberal Democrat members of the U.K. cabinet on Monday in a bid to shore up support for the party in the capital.
Clegg began the day with a visit to Business Secretary Vince Cable’s Twickenham constituency in southwest London, before heading to the neighboring seat of Kingston & Surbiton, held by Energy Secretary Ed Davey. He then went on to two more of the party’s seven London constituencies, Sutton & Cheam and Carshalton & Wallington. All four southwest London seats are targets for Prime Minister David Cameron’s Conservatives.
