  1. Thats how it was here, it was a tory safe seat so they didn't bother canvassing and their opponents knew they couldn't win so also didn't bother. This year is different though, our tory MP is currently suspended for cocaine use and dodgy finances so the party know they're in trouble because the constituency has effectively been without representation for a year now and the locals are angry about that. I've had two visits from conservative canvassers but they're useless, they won't answer questions which may be remotely difficult

  2. The tories target wins for the local council elections are 20% lower than those which effectively finished off May. They've set their targets very low
