Merkinch Campaigning

Great morning's campaigning in Merkinch today. Our team was full of enthusiasm and we got round a load of doors. The decent weather helped as well.

Door knocking can be difficult sometimes, if people are not in the mood to talk or just want to take their latest frustrations with politicians out on the poor party member on their doorstep. But this was one of those days when the people we met and talked to reminded us all why we're Labour; the woman in dispute with her employer being backed up by her Union, the family needing some decent window insulation let down by council cuts, the pensioner who grew up in service and whose dad made sure she will always vote Labour, because we are the only party that really stands up for ordinary working people. And the 86-year old who is looking forward to going out and voting Labour again because she still thinks voting is a right to be cherished!

Days like today fire up the energy levels and make us even more determined to win the seat.
