Election Day Campaigning

[Charlie George]

They don't waste their resources. They target the gullible.

Like i said, Labour heartland

Like I said, they (and the other parties) have already marked those most likely to vote Reform, (or whatever party we are referring to).
They don't waste their resources.
They understand that they're either targeting a loyal supporter or a potential new recruit.
They don't waste their time on the "no chancers".

Reform have lots of volunteers because people are enthusiastic about them, so they're much more visible.

Poor explanation.
If reform have about 250,000 paid up members, and three of the other parties have 360,000 paid up members, your explanation falls flat on its face.
It would be about a 2 Reform members to about 3 other party members.
So if the campaign teams weren't making the best use of their limited resources, and practising a scatter gun approach, you would have expected Charlie to have seen about 4.5 leaflets, 1.3 canvasser and received 1.3 text messages, in total. Only the 3 leaflets that he mentioned and the 1 canvasser and the 1 text message.

Local Conservative councillor standing down this time but campaigning for her husband knocks on my door and asks if he can count on my vote. I said no because I havent decided yet.

She just walked off! I was suprised really because the last time I saw her she was in a local cafe gobbing off about one of her constituents she had helped, naming names and the reasons she had helped. I was gob smacked how an elected official could be discussing private matters in a public place with her breakfast chums.

Labour won this seat with 60% of the vote, this area is full of Labour loyalists, yet they couldn't be bothered to post 1 single leaflet, this is not even a target seat for Reform, so i can imagine the effort they put in areas where they have a good chance.

The old parties have members who are mostly disinterested, drooling into their bib in an old folks home or dead.

You should have told her this was why you're not voting for her.

But then she'd probably have a phone mast put outside your house. Councillors often aren't nice people.

Reality check differs with your guess:

constituencies with a low or below average proportion of younger voters are much more likely to support Reform UK and less likely to support the Greens. At the same time constituencies with a high or above average proportion of younger voters are more likely to vote Green. This relationship is even stronger among the youngest cohort of voters below the age of 25.

Who do you think is campaigning?

You have been blowing the Reform horn since you learned to spell their name. How many political posts per week? You've been whingeing about Sir Keir, since he came to power, lol. It's like your life revolves around it.

OMFG. The irony!!!!!!!!

Eh?

Why are the typical RWR so busy campaigning during the actual election?
They've frequently called it a massive victory for their favoured far-right party. So why are they so worried, and why so much mud slinging on the day?
It's like revision for exams, you do revision well before the exam, not on the day of the exam. What you don't know by the day of the exam, you ain't gonna learn in the last couple of hours.

Voters have already decided who they're going to vote for, and campaigning on the last day looks like desperation.

The grapes were sour anyway, Billy boy.

There's some weird responses coming back from the weird posters.
The fat lady's not singing yet.
