A lot of times your interactions will be pretty brief, just a few questions like 'can we count on your vote? How did you vote last time? Do you have aby particular concerns you'd like addressed?' Just be nice, be smiley, be respectful, and don't panic. Stick with your friend until you feel comfortable doing it yourself. Or just stick with your friend throughout, you're still a warm body and a symbol of our numbers just being there.

I got told off by my canvassing partner for being too manipulative last night. There was a woman and her 8-year-old kid on the doorstep, who has some kind of condition that means they often have to go to A&E. I asked the kid if he liked waiting around for hours to be seen by a doctor, he said he hated it. I switched back to the Mum and went through Labour's NHS plans with her, as well as chatting about the picture of the boy on the floor. Perhaps bringing the kid into the conversation was a biiiiit emotionally manipulative but hey, I'd like to see her vote anything other than Labour now.

Sun and Mail are making GBS threads themselves, so of course we get a depressive screed from the Graun. https://www.theguardian.com/tv-and-radio/2019/dec/10/the-baddies-are-going-to-win-again-a-brutally-honest-guide-to-election-night-tv Ha. Ha. Apathy is amusing. Why bother to vote it's all pointless anyway. E: That said somewhere along the line Polly Toynbee has become radicalised and that's hilarious. https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2019/dec/10/boris-johnson-revenge quote:Be very afraid, as Johnson takes revenge on the legal system, on remainers, on human rights and on any democratic aggravations that stand in his way. We saw how fast his people moved to threaten to “review” Channel 4’s licence when it empty-chaired him for refusing its climate debate. Ofcom backed C4: what price will it pay?

I would love to be wrong on the night obviously, and polls have been moving towards the area we want to be in.

You often get curious children hanging around their parents as you chat, and I often try to bring them into the conversation by asking about their school and so on. A lot of schools seem to be doing mock elections so it's fun to ask how they're going.

Step-mother just texted to say she's sat down with the manifestos and will now be voting Labour, "even though [she's] not so keen on Jezza!!!". I think that's the whole family now, unless my grandparents have  'd themselves into a Lib vote. But they live in Edinburgh South, so they can go swivel.Necrothatcher posted:I got told off by my canvassing partner for being too manipulative last night.

But if you got out of there without the mum giving you a bollocking for it I reckon you're safe.

Emotional manipulation is a key part of politics - you're not lying to her, or being deceitful (like IDS literally telling people that Labour are going to sell their houses) - people aren't logical facts-based-evidence automata who'll weigh up all the available evidence to form a reasonable conclusion - we're driven by emotion. And hell, it's the kid's future too. Use whatever pivot you can find IMO. Tell your canvassing partner to go for it - best outcome is either a vote for Labour, or least worst, potentially denying the Tories a vote.

I tried saying she'll enter coalition just like they did back in 2010 but no, politics is different now - surely sensible centrist Jo; will see that. I tried saying the bar charts were dodgy and showing him the previous votes, but no - everything changed when It's the same idiocy as the guy in the article knowing everything around him has gone to poo poo, but it can't possibly be the tories who've been in power for ten years, it must be the unelected eurocrats! Boris will break us free and Unleesh Britaine™ so we can be great again, and we do that by... Kicking out the foreigns? There are these bullshit talking points the papers are repeating, "brexit will unleash Britain" on the right and "Corbyn's unrealistic, vote for the lesser of two evils" in the few centrist rags left and on #fbpe twitter and centrist dad facebook, and they just keep everyone circling the drain. The melt friend actually said on FB the other day that it is more important to vote against something than for something. And this is a guy who works with people with learning disabilities and who's wife is in ATOS hell, who's intellect I consider superior to mine in most other ways; Even he is saying things like 'local elections don't count' when I show him the constituency results from 2017 and 2015. He thinks he knows politics in the same way I thought I knew politics before reading this thread, and if I push him, he's just going to get defensive about me calling him stupid and double down. Just like Corbyn's position on brexit, people want a simple solution to incredibly complex isdues without having to do the legwork of actually understanding how parliamentary majorities and EU relationships work. For all that both sides (both main sides, the centre and right) of the country are screaming about democracy right now, none of the fuckers seem to know anything about how it works. It's not just the Workington Man types who've tied their addled brains up with this poo poo, it's libs as well who'll give Swinson the votes she needs to prop up the Tories. It's just incredibly frustrating that we have an absolute barnstormer of a campaign, and yet the best metric we can realisticly hope for is a hung parliament which somehow produces a Corbyn coalition. That's how poisoned modern journalism has made the debate.
