Canvassing on a sunny day...

...and although the doorstep questions continued to be dominated by MPs' expenses, most people were pleased to hear what the Conservatives plan to do to mend Britain's broken society and broken economy, as well as repairing our broken political system at Westminster.

A selection of comments from people I spoke to between 10am and 4.40pm today:

  • They're all the same, I won't vote for anyone
  • Clive Efford's useless, I've emailed him six times and spoken to someone in his office but he hasn't helped me.  I won't be voting Labour again.
  • I like David Cameron but how do I know you'll do what you say?  I'll read what you've said here and make my mind up.
  • The sooner the better.  I'll be voting for you, don't worry about that!
  • I'm a postman and our chief executive had a 700K bonus while telling us he needs to make savings.  No wonder MPs are taking everything they can get if they can get away with it!
  • My main worry is crime.  Next door was broken into a few weeks ago, but the police haven't got the resources to tackle burglary.
  • the football's on, you couldn't have called at a worse time, but I'll take a leaflet...
 
So all in all, an average Saturday!  In all, we called at around 400 homes.  Most of those we spoke to seemed grateful that we made the effort.  It will be hard winning back people's trust in politicians, but it all starts with hard graft.
