I went over to Hereford for the day to do some canvassing for Jesse Norman, who is the constituency’s PPC. Taking a slightly different perspective on how to engage people on the doorstep, we were also gathering signatures for a petition to keep local Post Offices open, which was a popular cause and something that resonates well with the electorate (even if you no idea where the nearest Post Office is!)

I’ve long argued that winning elections must be done on a local level: addressing the issues that affect the lives of the electorate directly. We can make an enormous difference just by being engaged and aware of the issues in the local area, tapping into that all important local knowledge of all the association members.

I missed out on the curry and drinks at night but have been assured that it was as civilised and respectable as every CF event!
