Our house has so far had one flyer, from the sitting MP, addressed to my wife - possibly because she's a member of his party. I've seen a few window posters in the neighbouring constituency, but you wouldn't know there was an election on here.

Well, I am from a country where the election is accompanied by politicians throwing [you know what] at each other, usually hitting bystanders. And of course candidates' posters on every lamppost and wall. It's interesting to see the lack of it here.

I agree, I'm in Harrow West and there's no sign of garden banners or window posters, never mind actual canvassers knocking on the doors!

On the other hand we've been bombarded with campaign information from Hannah David (Cons) through the post. Makes me wonder if she's being proactive or desperate!

I agree too. Nothing in Westminster, because it is one of the safest Tory seats in the country. The closest Labour (or indeed anyone) have come to them is 5000 votes.

Preseli Pembrokeshire, though? (I am currently on holiday there) There's no signs, except for one guy, Stephen Crabb the Tory candidate, who has even strayed off the boundaries of his constituency with signs up in Cardigan.

In Twickenham we are being bombarded with literature from the Conservative candidate. It makes me want to question her Green credentials and we even had a letter in the local paper about it.

@Cornish Cockney,

I live in Harrow West as well and I've only received post from Labour. But I was the only one in my household who got anything (everyone is registered to vote).

The funny thing is Labour is the only party who I would never vote for. Last GE I was in a safe Tory seat and didn't vote.

@Cornish Cockney - I'm in Harrow West too - the bombardment from Hannah David started when she was adopted as candidate before Christmas (isn't there a limit on the amount of mailshots, telephone campaigning, etc. a candidate can do?). Not only mailshots, but phone calls with a survey on how likely am I to vote for each party, and on Saturday a door to door campaigner with the same survey questions, which I've answered 4 or 5 times now! (Tories - 2/10).
Maybe they're concentrating on Headstone North as we've got 2 Independent councillors!

High Peak where I am is classed as a marginal. It went Labour in the 97 landslide the flipped blue again 5 years ago. Could go either way as areas of very left and not so far right.

Plenty of posters out in Watford.

Special mention to the vandal who's been going round defacing the Tory posters with "googly eye" stickers.
