How much does your constituency candidate matter to your vote? If you're for labour but the labour candidate was a shithead, would you vote libdem in a three way lab/con/lib fight? Or a lab/lib fight? My incumbent MP is a shithead but last election was a razor thin win against the tory so just gonna hold my nose I guess.

right. cold weather sucks, as does ice. here are some protips from a canadian for any of you canvassing out there: 1) freezing or low temperature rain is ludicrously efficient at lowering body temperature - very very conductive. you want something covering your head (touque for me but an umbrella works fine too) 2) the more you exert energy the warmer you will be, but try to avoid exerting yourself to the point you get sweaty if possible because again, water is very conductive. if you start to shiver your body is trying to force this so its a good sign to push a little harder. 3) wear boots - decent boots ideally, hiking ones are fine. this keeps you warm but more importantly is the traction. if you need to cross an icey patch you take it low and slow - keep your center of mass low and take your time 4) handwarmers are great but if you can't source them, a thermos or insulated travel mug genuinely can help - they let out the heat slowly and you can always enjoy a brew on the go too. i personally can't stand gloves but if you can get on that poo poo. 5) alcohol makes you feel warmer this is mostly an illusion - good carbohydrate filled breakfast and plenty of hot drinks is your best defense. 6) layers are amazing because you can never be sure how warm you're gonna be - bring one big coat and you might be alternating between freezing and boiling, a t shirt, sweater and light jacket gives you tons of options. 7) stay the gently caress away from puddles on the side of the road because drivers are wankers

I'm listening to the latest praxiscast and you referred to Liam Fox as 'the disgraced former defence secretary Liam Fox'. I'd like to demand a correction, Liam Fox is in fact the disgraced former disgraced former disgraced former defense secretary,. The disgraced former disgraced former defence secretary is Michael Fallon who was forced out over sexual harassment allegations in 2017; and the disgraced former defence secretary is Gavin Williamson who was sacked after leaking documents from the National Security Council.

Yeah, "this person will likley vote with labour at least some of the time" is still better than "this person will never vote labour" And once there is a majority, peer pressure kicks in more.
