Only one of the three candidates for my ward even bothered to stick a leaflet through my door. I have no idea what the Labour or Liberal candidates would wish to achieve for my area, so unsurprisingly they don't deserve my consideration. So the Conservative candidate wins by default.

Well as my two local would be representatives also didn't bother putting any leaflets through my door they gave me little idea of what their stance is beyond what party they were standing for.My husband at least has had a drink or two with one of them so he at least has half the info he needed.
Frankly if they can't be arsed to make the effort is it any wonder that the electorate can't be bothered either.
