That’s usually more of a Lib Dem message. Was it accompanied by a misleading bar chart?

In my experience I would say it’s more common for women to just not change their name after marriage than it is to hyphenate

There’s at least one Tory with a quadruple-barrelled name, Richard Grosvenor Plunkett-Ernle-Erle-Drax

1508 votes in the end. The left wing anti-war pro-Palestine independent got almost 70k and came third
