Yes

:clap1: This.

I've started canvassing quite a bit this year. Honestly this idea that it's edgy or funny to have a go at people who are just trying to do something positive with their time and change their community is so tiresome.

So often the same people who moan about politicians being out of touch are the same ones who slam the door in my face when I try and talk to them.

"I'm frustrated that politicians don't listen to my concerns. Therefore I'm going to be agressive and abusive when they make the effort to come and ask me about my opinions!"

Well if they rang they woukd be bothering you too.

Canvassing has been part of electioneering since elections began.
No need for ridicule or hostility on the doorstep.

Have you a notice saying no cold callers etc.
We wouldn't knock then.

It is our time too, you know.

Exactly.
However when you get the deceit ones thankfully it makes it worthwhile.
Even when they disagree with us.

It's nice to interact and I've had some wonderful chats with people I'll never forget.

Easy now don’t throw your clip board.

People are entitled to privacy by default without having to put up a notice

You have it. You courteously tell the canvasser that you're not interested.

Childish response.

Goo goo ga ga, that’s a childish response, your out of touch, typical politician.

Coming round your door?

Just hideous

The back door’s worse.

I had a tory candidate for mp canvassing in 2017, told him politely not to waste his time as we'll never vote tory, we exchanged smiles and off he went.

Hi how come you only come round when you want some think my vote and why ask people what there want the mp should no what needs improvement localee

There was no point him sliding into my PMs to send death wishes either. Why the moderators continue to entertain him’s the biggest mystery since 2010.

Well I'm glad to be out of touch if insulting people as you choose to is the norm of being in touch.

I'd love to know the people like you who are so unwelcoming to the men and women of all ages, who in their free time are only trying to inform or gather information via legal legitimate election canvassing.
So that we don't then submit ourselves to possible unnecessary abuse and are able to avoid such houses, doors and those people completely.

I think you just need to let it go!, a grudge gets heavier the longer you carry it.

Plus it adds nothing to the forum.
