So what will you say when canvassed?

[srebbe64]

I had a New Labour chappie, all smart with his red rosette and clip-board, walk up to me outside Sainsbury’s yesterday asking whether they can expect my vote.

I simply said, “No. Tax. War.” and walked off.

I would not say anything-when approached by Market researchers I walk very fast and ignore them.

if its a labourite, they will leave my presence with ears bleeding and wishing they had never got out of bed that morning.

i view their government as a midden, and they the flies apon it, drinking the sh!t# it produces.

I'm out of the country on voting day and for obvious reasons don't trust the postal voting system. So no vote for anyone this time.

Well I live in what is considered a "marginal", so I'm expecting loads of approaches. You're probably in a safe seat, so they won't give a toss about what you think!

If canvassed by a labourite, I'd deck the twisting barsteward;
by a tory give them all my support (if only just to get those labour scum out of office)

Whhaaaaaat! Marginal? 'stoke? I thought we were as true blue as you could get? Andrew Hunter has been the MP for years and years...Maria Miller (the new candidate) should win easily! No?

I'll admit that the Council has its fair share of yoghurt knitters on it - but even Popley kicked out its Labour Councillor at the last election for an independent (couldn't have happened to a nicer man IMO - a complete New Labour Control Freak if ever I met one).

No you're wrong Don - last time there were only a couple of thousand votes in it. This time, because Hunter is off it's more of an "unknown". I wouldn't be surprised if Labour win, to be honest.

Apart from the majority voting "none of the above" by not showing up, most people surely vote "get the bastards out". Only morons vote blue red or yellow as a matter of conviction?

I would probably say, "why yes, young man, I'll vote Labour because I have a social conscience, I don't want the tories to whore out any more British industry, I don't want spending on the health service or schools to be reduced because tory filth can afford to go private, I don't want to pay more taxes whilst the super-rich pay less, I don't want Corporate UK to be given any dodgy loopholes to allow them to exploit their workforce (cont. p94).

Socialism will triumph. Come on you reds!

I do wish you would stop insulting people purely for the sake of it NoneGreen.

The only way I would vote is from conviction-and it is the more intelligent people who will take the time to study the issues.

[BliarOut]

If it's Labour, I shall simply look at them over the top of my glasses and say with a knowing smile "You're ed, aren't you" as I close the door.

I think I'd be tempted to take my mates Jehova Witness approach.

Invite them in, make them tea, sit them down and rip them to shreds over the 1001 issues I have with Marxist rule.

Tossers.

I don't think they'll bother sending people to Germany to get opinions

What would you say if this came and asked for your vote?
