| Post subject: | Canvassing? |
So to day is the last day of the election campaigns. Apart from TV broadcasts, what contact from the main parties have you had? I have had leaflets from most parties, though I’ve not seen one from Labour. There has been no canvassing (unless it happens today), and any leaflets I have had have been cut and paste efforts with a slot for “local news”. Given that these are partly local elections, I would have expected more on that subject. It’s like the last general election - I feel the attempts to glean my views and canvass my opinion have been lacklustre. When I used to live in Watford, we would have people knocking on doors. Here in somewhat rural Essex, it seems that my opinions are not of interest. I think we are in a safe Tory area, which is why the others don’t bother. I feel letters to the leaders of the Big Three on this may be written. |

Leaflets, mainly. No real physical people on the stump at all. I've been on the Jury Team email list, so I've been getting their stuff, but that's a bit like shipping snow to Eskimos.

I did spot some Greens out on the street in Totnes, but that's a fairly safe bet. Haven't seen anybody around here. Then again, Torbay has more Conservative Clubs than anywhere I've lived before. We're still a Lib-Dem seat though, IIRC.

In fairness Paul, you could just as well be talking about the forum   Ok, back on topic... I don't recall having seen any leaflets and we haven't had any people at the door, except the window cleaner, and I don't think he's running... Ho hum

No contact yet. But i really hope a Labour candidate comes round so I can give them grief.

We've had leaflets from everyone except Labour, we've even had a letter from David Cameron saying that if we can't physically get to the polling station, the Conservative party will send a car round for us!!  No actual people yet, but we're not exactly "on the beaten track" so TBH I'd be surprised

He's a nice man, that Mr Bandwagon. I'd be tempted to get the Cons to take me to the polling station, perhaps take in a bit of shopping, and when asked how I voted say anything but Conservative.

I haven't even had so much as a leaflet. |

I've had personally addressed election material, but no canvassing. I guess you only get that in marginal seats/areas. |

We got material from one party. Justice for all or something like that - they had a couple of policies on the leaflet and they were complete cod [LIFTED] as that bloke off the apprentice would say. Our seat had been Tory for years until the Lib Dems won it the time before last. They made some absolutely monumental cock-ups and wasted HUGE amounts of money, so the Tories promptly smashed them in the last election. I think people are expecting them to do the same this time around. |

Just had a leaflet dropped through the door for the "Pensioner's Party" - I'm 22, I wonder if I'll vote for them...

Nothing from anyone, not a sausage. I think it's pretty piss poor really. They don't deserve my vote. |
