Penny Mourdant and Flick Drummond are not the most popular MPs, and the current policy of not being seen at all isn't doing either of them many favours. The majority here last time was slim in Portsmouth South @ 5000 or so, but was complicated by the overall swing to the Tories, the Lib Dems, and Mike Jackson loving a Russian spy on the navy base making 2015s result a little anamolous. Southsea is very much a hippy town and despite the money, I could see it being a Labour gain.

It'd take a much bigger swing to oust Mourdant at about 6 points but the Scottish navy bases bribe still sticks in people's craw and Paulsgrove being abandoned won't help, especially if there's an increased youth turnout.

Fareham would vote for a scarecrow in a blue rosette, and the further north you go towards Petersfield (East Hampshire) from here the worse it gets.

Also. It's looking like Labour decided to band around Corbyn finally and suddenly having a relatable, nice bloke who isn't getting stabbed in the back... works???

I haven't had a single person knock on my door and beg for my vote so far. Disappointed.

Many of the countries that had them never had that before it happened.

Somehow lots of them got something like that during it though.

How the gently caress is this suspension of campaigning in any way?

If there is any silver lining to these tragic horrors, maybe it will be that whoever wins the election Britain will greatly bolster its police forces.

I said votes. I'm under no illusions that the election will be decided on youth turnout and that's a big gamble.

However we were talking about the importance of visuals to politics. And since the last election was decided on Ed Miliband looking like a loving geek who couldn't eat a bacon sandwich, got shouted down by a shampoo saleswoman and stuttered saying "Hell yeah I'm tough enough" to Paxman I don't think that you can underestimate the power of visuals. Looking like you can do the job is a huge part of getting the job, especially amongst the young who need enthusiasm and excitement to get involved.

I got bombed with leaflets today as well. Weirdly most of them were for UKIP who are definitely not going to win Bristol South.

The point is it's not a new attack, nor a shocking revelation. In fact it's much weaker than some of the stuff already thrown at him, merely accusing him of speaking at a rally that was attended by some unpleasant people. For anyone who has seen the size of the rallies he speaks at currently it's not going to change many Labour voting minds.
