SNP leaflet through the door. Top pledge is "Protect The NHS"

Silly me. I thought the SNP had been in charge of the Scottish NHS for 17 years. Still Thatcher's fault then I take it.

Mhanki Black out. Jaqueline Cameron standing for SNP in her stead. Cameron's biggest claim to fame (because she's been completely anonymous as a councillor) is that she was allegedly featured in the lyric of a Franz Ferdinand (remember them, no - didn't think so) song.



PS. The Scottish Marxists "Green" candidate here has been taking it a bit too literally...



Athol Boyd is his name. Sounds like a right working-class type I think not....

I'm struggling not to judge that particular book by its cover. I know appearances can be deceptive and one shouldn't judge, but...

Presumably spoken with a Mike Tyson lithp, and the 'd' is silent? Or would that be me assuming their gender, and also an ageist slur?

Had a leaflet from each of the parties, all of which went into recycling (apart from the Reform leaflet which I tried to burn, but it wouldn't catch so had to piss on it instead) but every other youtube video is headed up by the Scottish Labour advert - not sure if it's me or my location or what but there's obviously some money going into it.

Down here in Yorkshire not one single leaflet from any party except an attempt to post one by Jehovah's Witnesses which failed as Max (Rottweiler) was sitting by the gate. So I don't know what their 'mandate' is?

Thats because you are probably in a safe seat for the sitting MP.
No.point in wasting paper.

I had Labour on the doorstep a couple of weeks ago, which supports just how hard they're working here when you consider that we're not really old school working class round here.

Neither is the Labour Party.

I've no idea if anyone has been around here during the day as I've been at work, you would think they would make the effort to come around the doors late afternoon and into the evening when there's more chance of getting people at home...I would love to engage with some of them.

I still fear the stupidity of the voting public who have amazing form for voting for a government who goes out of their way to do them harm...mental eh..!!!

I've seen pictures of Max in the pictures of dogs thread and he's a big lad. Are we sure he isn't taking care of his own nutritional needs at the expense of unsuspecting political canvassers?

If only the real candidate debates were as good.

Or a clever ploy by labour to scare people into making sure they vote and not take anything for granted.

No mention of confidence intervals. Probably each figure +/- 3%
