I don't suppose for one minute she was telling them that labour should be their first choice.
I suppose (never having heard of this kind of bribe before) that so long as the person doesn't insist that folk sign for one party, it could be called a public service?

However I do feel sorry for folk that had been responsible and had already signed up to vote, missing out on a free pint!!!! I'd have sleepless nights.
