I've honestly no idea who I'll vote for at the next General Election.
It will be a decision arrived at by weighing up the pros and cons of each individual candidate, versus their party's manifestos.
As for not canvassing at houses displaying posters for your opposition, did it never occur to you that there might also be a hen-pecked, or brow beaten spouse, or even adult children, who may not agree with the bullying person who put the poster up?
I think it's exactly those homes I'd be canvassing, not the ones that were already assured votes.
That's the kind of arrogance, such as stating who I won't be voting for, that can mean an election is lost. The difference between winners and losers.
Every vote counts, and if parties really cared about people, they'd be trying to secure those individual votes, not write them off.
Anyway, back on thread.
What are the odds they'll do a calendar in 2011, even with the public outcry against them, here and in the local press?
