twenty Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 (edited) Not had any candidates at the door, only the fliers through the post. And there is someone at home all day, I think the parties know how you are likely to vote, I have had 'chats' with various parties over the years, so they now know whether its worth a visit or not.

Mighty Ruler Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Had flyers, addressed letters, loads of em. The Tories called, was hoping Labour or the Lib Dems would so I could tell ‘em what I think of them. Labour won by 30 votes last time, I think that’s behind all the flyers, unfortunately, none of the Labour ones had Corbyn’s face on. I wanted to draw a Hitler tache on and stick it on the door.

243deer Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 The irony is the green party sent me something that has cost resources and will cost more resource to dispose of as it is in colour and varnished. I understand it is the law that political parties are allowed to send you at least one piece of **** without any comeback, a serious abuse of my electronic data in my view and why should political parties be allowed to ignore a persons right to privacy?

derbyduck Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 iv'e only had one it's from the labour candidate Toby piggy Perkins !which as come in handy as an aid to training my new pup ,when he gets a bit boisterous I slap it on the table or worktop and show him the photo of Piggy and he goes into his bed ! but things are taking a turn around he's started growling and barking at the photo ! so if Mr Perkings is canvasing at the polling station whilst i'm walking the dog I fear for the philandering MPs nether regions ! hope the LDP send a flyer🐶.

Big Mat Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 We've had 2, both from the same candidate ( labour) , one yesterday and the other today. Oddly, it's actually someone I went to school with, nice bloke back then. The second school friend to become a politician ( that I know of). Unfortunately the first jumped Infront of a train due to bullying over his sexual preferences from fellow peers in his party. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ditchman Posted December 5, 2019 Author Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 the last time we had regular fliers was about 5 years ago..........and that caused a serious rumpas as the school children were delivering them.............

Farmboy91 Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I've had one from James Cartlidge, about a week or so ago, nothing else since. Not that I'd read any of the others 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TIGHTCHOKE Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Just got up and our super silent Post Lady has put an election flyer from our current Conservative MP Shailesh Vara through the door. He already has my votes as I live in Peterborough and use the Postal Voting system! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ferguson_tom Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Only one from the Tories. Not surprising really as they got about 60% of the vote in every Suffolk constituency in 2017 so no real point the other parties wasting there money campaigning round here.

udderlyoffroad Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 I live in one of the safest Labour seats going. My partner, who recently became a British Citizen, has had personally addressed fliers from Lib Dems and Labour, with the Con candidate doing the slightly more prudent thing of putting both our names on his flier. Un-addressed fliers from the 'Animal Welfare Party' and the greens have turned up. I'm currently working from home and haven't had anyone knocking on the door. Is the mud-spattered truck in my drive putting people off? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spurs 14 Posted December 5, 2019 Report Share Posted December 5, 2019 Had the only one come today , labour , a sensible looking woman ! I’m wishing they would knock on door as I’d love to hear the reason why they are supporting the two clowns in charge of labour !!!! , I really cannot understand how anyone can stand and support corbyn ? He is a danger to this country Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
