Hopefully after listening action is taken by your party in that particular area of concern and then you may well be able to express what you party hopes to do, or even better is already doing or has done to answer that concern.Stephen Glennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03027718551675624433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14418636.post-42073800496664774702008-09-11T15:04:00.000+01:002008-09-11T15:04:00.000+01:00Interesting post.

I'm used to the American discussions on this, and for some reason no on here seems to talk about the one most important thing about door knocking: knocking on doors brings more people out to vote. <BR/><BR/>You can find out more about the british research at<BR/><BR/>http://www.ipeg.org.uk/presentations/gotv_presentation.pdf<BR/><BR/>and the american research at<BR/>http://www.yale.edu/vote/<BR/><BR/>But in a way, turnout is a different question than reconnecting with politics. That's a qualitative dimension. And if you want politicians to actually do something after listening to people at the doors, doesn't that require a bit more work?Superhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11054105962638008301noreply@blogger.com
