I have never been canvassed at the door by anyone. They must know what I'm like!
Pity they are not that smart when it comes to running the countryThey probably do. They go around with an electoral register with their own comments on each household based on local and historical knowledge. Someone local probably said- don't bother with that guy on the end there, he's a wiseass and will only bend your ear about nurses/berties money etc before voting for FF anyway.
It would be very difficult to do this cross referencing. Did you give a full address when registering for the e-zine? If not, it would be impossible to link you to the register. If yes, it would still be difficult to do this cross-reference, given the variety of names (Pat/Paddy/Patrick) and the possibility of multiple similar names at the same address. It would also need party Head Office to be sending out lists to every branch in the country on a regular basis, and the volunteers at branch level to be diligent in using this data. And finally, unless they indicated in advance that they were going to use the data for canvass purposes, it would be illegal!I even registered for the Fine Gael and Fianna Fail ezine so if anyone checks this list against the register they would know I am interested in politics.
It is very, very difficult to coordinate comments on an electoral register.

If you were involved with the Shinners I would be worried for LipStick69If you do want to hear from Labour, send me your name/address by PM and I'll get someone round to you.
Gwan - Put us in the spotlight & give details of the glaring error.Thanks for the offer for Labour, but in reading the Labour manifesto this morning I spotted a glaring error that if they'd bothered doing some research they would know it's already in place.
In general (& speaking from my experiences with Labour), yes - we would usually welcome any attempt at intelligent debate on the doors. Purple's suspicion that he had been 'blacklisted' for engaging in such debate seemed strange to me, as it certainly wouldn't deter (and might even encourage) a local Labour canvasser.I am perplexed by these attitudes as surely politicians welcome debate rather than inertia and apathy??
Have decided that the first person to call will get the vote this time. I live a few miles from anywhere so anyone who makes the effort can have it.
