On the election trail in Newton this weekend, we saw all the main players out and about.
But what is really surprising to me, is the amount of people who had voted for Labour in the past, saying they were going to vote for us, as the Conservatives are THE ONLY alternative and feel voting for a minority party would see them waste their vote.
For the first time in a long time the Conservatives are breathing down the necks of Labour in places like Newton, a place where Labour have taken for granted in the past, and apart from a few pre election "bribes" have let residents down.
Now as i were delivering John welsh's excellent leaflet to the masses, it came to a point where Labour were doing the same road in the opposite direction.
As i were approaching this house, the gentleman from Labour was walking down the path at the same time.
It wasn't quite road runner and the coyote, but i was putting our leaflet through the letter box the Labour representative had rung the door bell, and this gentleman came to the door.
I handed him my leaflet, and said "Newton Conservatives here, here's our leaflet sir" i was politely thanked, and as i walked away, the Labour Representative spoke and said "Hello i am from the Labour Party can we count on your support" and this gentleman's response were to him, was to shut the door in his face.
Now although this being very funny to me, it reminded me no matter how much Labour go on about how fantastic they are doing, and how they are going to do this, and that, that shutting of the door was a nice reminder that there are a lot of people out there who have had enough of their lies, and smugness.
With a general election expected in 2010, it gives me great hope, that we will over turn this shambles of a Government.
