(Please note the very subtle and subliminal visual “Vote Labour” message that we are exposing the volunteer activists to while they are telecanvassing).This evening, after work, I stopped off at the West Ham Labour Party CLP HQ in Stratford to help out with the telephone canvassing. Picture is of top Plaistow North Councillor and UNISON/Unite member, Jonathon Knott, on the “dog and bone” for Ken & Labour.
It is a fascinating process canvassing for Ken and Labour. You speak to traditional solid Labour supporters, and then ring someone who never normally votes Labour but will vote for Ken! Of course, you also get those who will vote Labour for John Biggs and the Labour list candidate but cannot abide Ken.
Overall, I thought that my session was pretty positive for both Ken and Labour.
All this also means that there is plenty of potential for voter confusion. Last time there was 150,000 spoilt votes in London? The number of such votes could decide the election? The prospect of a similar this time or even worse is a truly horrible night-mayor! (Joke)
