Not one Tory placard, not one Tory canvasser at our door, no Tory spam on my FB, Twitter feed...

Who are they targeting? Where are they?

(Not a bad thing I might add, but I see labour/lib dem everywhere.

Is it different elsewhere? If so, where are you?

Because a lot of people have no viable, realistic or credible alternative

And this is why I still have no clue who I want to vote for. But really, I don’t feel my vote will change anything. Tory’s got over 60% of the vote last time and I wouldn’t think there will be a big enough swing to the current MP out.

We’ve had leaflets through from Tory’s (2 different ones from them) one from labour and one from Lib Dem’s. But No posters, no door knockers, no candidates in the town (and we live in the biggest town in the constituency), no posters in windows.

Maryann
if you believe there should be electoral reform
PLEASE VOTE
because the impetus for change comes from the wasted votes
not from the CBA to vote

and in most constituencies, 35% of people do not vote
just imagine what could happen if they did .....

We're a Labour safe seat in these Welsh valleys. Labour haven't been around but our mp has been busy locally and she's great. Plaid stuck leaflet through, nothing from brexit or greens, nothing from tories...our tory gut lives in tewkesbury do nasty be a tad far for him to go. I think being in a safe seat though means a lot of the tone their effort is better targeted elsewhere.

Loads of tories not attending their own hustings though. I think they think they have it in the bag and don't rock the boat.

My concern regarding the nhs , is that there Tories are not even pledging the money to keep it static. It needs 3.6 billion to remain as it is, and they are pledging 3.3 I think? On their manifesto, they are saying they will underfund it. Why is that?
