I had a kind of naked lunch moment this week when out on the door. I came across a man who had not been knocked by anyone for the Labour Party for over 20 years. It was a sobering moment where my campaign seemed a little hopeless. However, the man did say he would vote for me.
It seems that the place I am campaigning is massively politically stagnant as there does not seem to be the sort of cut and thrust politics that I am more accustom to. Time will tell.
But I have a feeling that this might not be a isolated case. If we are not prepared as a party to engage with the public then we cannot set the agenda and we have to fight rearguard actions when we are challenged by an organised opposition party. It makes me think that the promises to "do stuff between elections" that everybody in the party says after May needs to be acted on.
