In my opinion they make the politicians seem a bit desperate. My friend's mum put a note on her door lecturing them about wasting paper- it was hilarious!<br /> Flo Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897407043686481527.post-3207679912035285502013-03-03T11:40:21.738-08:002013-03-03T11:40:21.738-08:00Dear Frank,

I was talking about decreasing the time, effort and money spent on leafleting and putting resources into another campaigning idea. <br />From<br />Maelo ManningMaelo Manninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242274225134150402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897407043686481527.post-84263887731673841592013-03-03T11:37:08.668-08:002013-03-03T11:37:08.668-08:00Dear Alisdair,

Are you referring to the 'nursing of constituencies'associated with David Penhaligon? <br />From<br />Maelo Maelo Manninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242274225134150402noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6897407043686481527.post-84960171748050628392013-03-03T07:04:41.516-08:002013-03-03T07:04:41.516-08:00I agree with Alisdair, and I would not want to be ...I agree with Alisdair, and I would not want to be the first participant in an election to abjure leafleting.
