Day 11

Went out to Currie to do a stall after a morning of impromptu meetings with officials about too many things to mention. I was glad to get out of the office. Our reception was better than I had first thought it might be in what is one of our leafier and more well off suburbs. In fact the first person who came up to us said “ at last, its time the Labour party was up here again, we're not all Tories you know!” I was then cornered for what felt like much too long by a guy who was adamant that our membership of the European Union was the first sign of what is predicted in the Book of Revelations and then by an advocate of the Currie by-pass! Still, it takes all types. Once again however, what we are experiencing on the ground, not just at the stall but the phones and the doors is not what I see in the polls. This election is all about the don’t knows.
