Punters at Newbury racecourse assess the party's chances in West Berkshire in May's local elections.
These successes have not, though, led to a sustained boost in their national poll ratings, which are currently at 9%.
Round the corner from the stands, we meet Eddie who is more firmly enthusiastic about the Liberal Democrats.He's also impressed by their "ground game". "I've seen more of them, you know, just walking down the high street. I know we have Conservative at the moment, but I haven't seen any Conservative activity," he says.Although nobody at Newbury races raises it specifically on our visit, sewage in rivers and the sea is a key focus of the Lib Dems' campaign.
"I think there is probably a big black hole there, that a lot of us don't really realise. How many people need healthcare that they are not getting.""I have got various leaflets at home, which tell me we what each is one is doing. I haven't read them yet. I just need to do a bit of research, I think, before I actually vote."For some though, their pitch isn't proving a winner.
