Friday Afternoon

We spent a few hours on Friday afternoon canvassing in the village of Long Whatton and had some great responses and support. We are co- ordinating our doorstep canvassing with our telephone canvassing teams (often with interesting results). While we were leafleting and canvassing in Thringstone during the week we spoke to one resident who had been telephone canvassed only minutes before our arrival and another householder who was actually on the telephone to one of our telephone canvassers at that moment! Given the calls for a by election we are upping our work rate considerably over the next couple of weeks ready if Gordon Brown can summon up the courage to call the by election or better still for the country call the General election the electorate want and our democracy needs so much.
