We have never ever had any cavassers at our door. Do they give you freebies? Not that I want a rosette, but I might be swayed if they gave away chocolate!

Yes you get a 'freebie' from all the people knocking at your door - its a leaflet about how they intend to change everything the other folks have done, make it better, put more money in your pocket and make the world a better place.

slight detour here ... I once worked with a girl who was very committed to a particular party, doesn't matter which one, and she went out canvassing. The more experienced canvassers had a bet on who'd be the first person to ring a doorbell and have the occupant answer in the nude ... apparently it happened within the first half hour!

[Guest]

Of course "Ooops, word censored!"ody comes here as we are in the middle of nowhere.

 

But just down the road......they have put up a special sign to welcome them all.

 

 

And I am sure they will all be visiting over the next month, they always do.....its one of the first areas to declare and the country apparently always votes the same way as Basildon.

[Geoid]

There was some nuclear bunker up for sale somewhere in Essex, it only has a phone line and is in the middle of no where

[chelsea]

We have just had the first visitors at the door!

 

 

I can't wait for a certain party candidate to come here. They wont escape I may even wake up OH for him to have his two penneth!

I think I might be a bit weird but I love elections. I follow all the news and views, get cross and shout at the party I hate and sit up to watch the votes roll in.

I'd rather vote for something that can affect my life than who can sing a rubbish song or learn how to dance in a spangly costume.

I get irritated by people who moan about how the country is run but don't use their vote.

I'd welcome a political thread, I don't care how people vote but I care that they do.

I feel exactly the same - I do care that people vote.

 

I enjoy the elections themselves.....but I know that whatever happens, I will eventually be disappointed

[sadietoo]

I will vote too...I owe it to the Pankhursts and Emily Davidson and Women's Suffrage in general

[Lesley]

We're in 'blue rosette on a donkey' country here - I'd really love to live in a marginal constituency.

[bluekarin]

well, the state of things has made my hubby *gasp* actually want to vote this time *faints* I vote every time - not quite sure if it does any good

 

But if I were to try and get away from it all (and I can't believe the BBC had a news special this morning from 9.15am til 1pm ) I'd go camping at one of the Featherdown sites. No telly, no radio, no tinternet. Or up a high hill in Wales or Scotland where there will be little or no reception of any sort

[Scramble]

You are welcome to stay in my space station

I agree - that's always in the back of my mind, that women died for my right to vote and so I should use it.

[C&T]

I agree that you can't moan about the "people" in power, if you are not even prepared to use your vote.

 

It's perhaps something we take for granted, our right to vote, but it is not something everyone in this world is entitled to.

[The Dogmother]

I keep well out of it after being involved in politics (through my dad) since I was very young. It drives me mad

[yvonne]

Another "blue rosette on a donkey" constituency here- always wanted to live in a marginal seat though - an old friend once lived in one with an important mid-term by-election and was chosen to be interviewed on the telly all through the campaign.

I'm also an election geek and stay up all night watching the results come in and get quite heated about those who complain and then don't vote. Remember not only the suffragettes, but also Tianamen Square - many have died for what we take for granted - rant over, sorry !

[Lavenders_Blue]

Another voter/election enthusiast here!

 

I absolutely agree with patsylabrador that I don't care how people vote but I care that they do.

 

If you're not willing to use your vote, then I don't think you should complain about how the country is run. You had your chance to influence the outcome but chose not to take it.

 

I don't understand why people don't vote because they think 'all the politicians are as bad as each other'. Be that as it may - one of them is going to have to run the country so you might as well have a say in which one it is going to be

[rabbitfluff]

I always think they should combine canvassing with something useful like cleaning your windows or collecting your Betterware order. Can I interest you in a tea towel? Dish cloth? Voting Conservative?

[Lavenders_Blue]

 

Splendid idea, Rabbitfluff!

[Geoid]

You are welcome to stay in my space station

Our space station

[Seagazer]

It does drive you absolutely bonkers doesn't it. And would anyone really be shallow enough to vote for a particular party because one wife is pregnant or another has better dresses? Grrr!

 

For the first time there will be 4 voters in the house, we always vote as others have said, you have to otherwise you can't moan about it.

[Old Speckled Hen]

Ooooooooooo so many choices. I could take you all up and perambulate my way through the rest of the year, let alone till May 7th

As for voting, my mind is made up and has been for some time but I wonder how many of us are swayed by all the rhetoric?

[Chucky Mama]

I am rather ashamed that my 16 year old son knows far more about each party and what they are about that I do. Shame he is not voting as he would make a far more informed decision than most. I must pay more attention and use my vote sensibly - I know he would.

I think it's a shame that so many young people who are keen to vote are denied the chance.

If you can work and pay taxes at 16 then I think you should be able to vote. Youth doesn't preclude knowledge, I've seen so many older people on the news this week who don't appear to have a clue what's going on politically in this country.

[Old Speckled Hen]

I think I will change my avatar for the duration
