to want to be doorstepped by political parties?

Not one knock at the door, in fact I don't think I've even had a leaflet.

When I did my sociology A level I was told that this is what would happen in the run up to a general election. I thought that I'd get at least three knocks at the door for each election from people trying to explain their policies and offer me a lift on the day if I was elderly. No, nothing.

I've been of voting age for 24 years and have hardly ever been doorstepped by a political activist and even when they do turn up it's thoroughly disappointing. They just ask if they can rely on your vote and scuttle off. If you say no, they don't even attempt to convert you! I want a good old fashioned debate, I'm open minded and reasonable and if they made a good point I could be persuaded, but they don't even try.

I'm not so patiently waiting for my door to knock. I was told that Labour would be in our area next monday but haven't heard anything from the SNP who are the ones I really want to get here....and smack about the head!

I was just door-stopped by my local Tory candidate but I think he regretted it as I launched it him about the fact that DS has no reception place for next year. He looked almost scared by the time he left.
