Anyone seen any Labour posters/placards in residential areas?
Unbelievably yes, in quite an affluent part of Sandbach, not a hope in hell of labour being elected around here.Go figure!
I had the Tory knock on my door a few weeks ago.
I told him that he could not rely on my vote as
My had taken 8 weeks and still had not replied to my email, only an acknowledgement.
The New prospective Tory MP had written to condisending letter telling me thet MMGW was real and the simple little me just didn't understand the complicated science and I should just accept the I should be financially Butt-f
ked in the name of Al Gore.
SO fk YOU MR Tory!!

k YOU MR Tory!!No canvassers as such yet.
Did get a leaflet pushed through for the local council elections, by the same guy who was delivering take away menus. :sigh:
From this I learnt that Sheffield council does not have one single Conservative member.
And that I should vote for my local lib dem politician Musphar.
But no actual canvasses yet.

Not at the house but a bunch of Labour trolls were ambushing people getting off the ferry as I was on my way home, including the Labour candidate. From the responses I heard he hasn't got a hope.
The best response I heard to his "Hello I'm (some halfwit) and I'm standing for parliament in this seat", was the superb, "Standing, you should be on your bloody knees, begging forgiveness". Pure class
Which constituency is this? The best response I heard to his "Hello I'm (some halfwit) and I'm standing for parliament in this seat", was the superb, "Standing, you should be on your bloody knees, begging forgiveness". Pure class

Haven't had the pleasure of being canvassed yet. But my local conservative MP (who I didn't vote for as i'm new to the area) has been bragging in the local paper about how secure and safe his seat is.
I should note here that this chap was one of the 4 conservatives who voted for the recent Digital Entertainment Bill (?). That has actually swayed my vote a bit I think. I understand that we need change etc but I don't really know this chap's policies. All I seem to read about is how safe his seat is!
Oh well, looks like I need to do some digging around a bit and see what my local UKIP person has to offer.

One visitor for Lib Dem, not even leaflets from the others.
Had the local LibDim Leprechaun on the doorstep the other day. No, I will not be voting for you just because the Tories have no chance in this seat.Having actually researchd it the Tories will finish in second place to Labout as they have in every general since 84 when they last won the seat.
Local Tory candidate seems ok is a bit limp and, much as I don't feel totally comfortable with CMD, I'm going to do everything I can to get Labour out even if I thought the likes of UKIP were significantly a better option.
One so far, Fiona McTaggart and one of her lackies, unfortunately Ms McTaggart kknocked next door whilst said Lackey knocked on mine, he seemed awfully hurt and suprised when I told him I wouldn't vote Labour under gunpoint - but I guess this isn't the type of reaction the Liarbour party are used to in a Slough suburb.
Having said that at least they make the effort, I have lived in various parts of Slough for the last 15 years and NEVER seen or been approached by a Tory MP or councillor, I guess its such a safe Liarbour seat they don't bother.

Scunnythorpe....
Nobody has been around yet...not fair - I want to shake the Tories hands and spit in the faces of the Labour candidates....childish and pointless I know...but all the same.
Scunnythorpe has a big Labour majority, but the outlying villages are as blue as the Indian Ocean....although I can see the Lab majority plummeting this time around, as our local MP was the delightful Mr Elliot 'whoops, have I paid that mortgage off already?' Morley - locals have not taken kindly to his antics.
His latest antics include being granted legal aid to fight his expenses court case, which could run into £100,000's!
The man has NO shame!
