No problem Graeme, I have not had any canvassers round either, just the leaflets, I think they rely on the media, as they seem to follow them everywhere, and everytime you turn on the TV one of them is on it, I'm beggining to feel as though they live with me, be glad when it's over to-morrow, will send you a ballot paper Lel,

I will always vote - and if I cannot decide on a candidate - I would spoil my paper so it is counted in the turnout rather than disrespect all those who fought and died to protect my right to vote.

We live in a marginal seat, and our local council is "hung" - so I have met all the main candidates; on the estate (considered the most dodgy on the Island) and in the town square We have a referendum for a Mayoral system as well; has anyone got a Mayor rather than a Council? How should I vote in this?

Yes you are right its as if they are relying on the TV rather than face to face conversation. I'd have loved to have had a leaflet - or 1000 so come on BIRMINGHAM get you ar*e into gear and work for my vote.

It seems that if you are in a "safe" seat then you are ignored. They are fighting for 1 million undecided votes rather than sevure the safe seats.
