Several personally addressed letters from David Cameron and a barrage of literature from the Conservative candidate virtually promising all the gold you could eat. I remember being staggered at the volume of junk they were peddling and the fact that they deliberately ignored my vote Labour sign outside my house and my gated driveway to gain access. Grrr! Interestingly enough I had never seen or heard of the Conservative candidate prior to GE2015 and haven't since. Funny that. Couldn't be arsed to care too much about my constituency to be seen but happy to provide an utter deluge of leaflets in a manner akin to stalking.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-49096541613409178032016-05-25T23:25:41.687+01:002016-05-25T23:25:41.687+01:00I think Cameron more or less spelt out this strate...I think Cameron more or less spelt out this strategy during the campaign - I do remember him saying something like 'We only need to win 23 marginal seats' when asked what his chances were. He can't resist trying to look clever. <br />Pam Smithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03952001402591649389noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-20489405558314613862016-05-25T16:55:48.566+01:002016-05-25T16:55:48.566+01:00They will not be declared so check on mirror campa...They will not be declared so check on mirror campaign that someone has added it.

I felt like Cameron was stalking me during the GE - I was in another marginal under investigation and received a lot of letters from the PM.

Anyone else remember if they had simiiar and whether they have been properly accounted for?<br /><br />robnoreply@blogger.com
