You can tell us how labour supporters are viewing David Cameron till the cows come home, it doesnt alter the fact that conservative supporters are happy with his performance, and from what I can gather, many undecided were happy with his performance too |
What an insulting assumption.
I am not telling you about only what Labour supporters are saying, as a canvasser, I don't need to talk to Labour voters, I am keeping talking to the people who say they are undecided voters.
Who are saying exactly the same today so far as I have heard for weeks now, they are not being told the truth and what they need to know, and they got told nothing new last night from David Cameron either.
So you can come at me from your anti Labour bias all you like, I am talking to ,with a team of canvassers and the candidates,'undecided' voters.
If I want to tell you what Labour supporters are thinking, I do that well enough from my opinion so that throws your dig out the window completely.
We haven't found any of the undecided voters we talked to yesterday or the last 4 days, who feel they got the answers as to child benefit cuts, which will hit voters of all parties by the way if they did them.
We have had communication with over 500 'undecided' voters over the last 4 days,they are the people we are targetting. not Labour voters.
So don't accuse me of only repeating what Labour voters are saying. I say myself with my own views, what Labour stands for, I need no back up.
Let the Conservatives believe that David Cameron did well last night, refusing to spell out the welfare cuts and not ruling out child benefit cuts.
I am relaying that as to the undecided voters,not from Labour voters at all, they learned nothing more from him at all last night,in fact they may have ended up even more concerned at what cuts are coming.
I don't think people are impressed, and they are right not to be, with someone knowing something not pleasant that will be happening, and not informing them properly as to it,when they will be the ones doing it too.
If you admire that,I certainly don't.
As for the groans at Ed Milibands response to the last govt before this one's spending, there were 25% of Conservative voters in that audience.
had I been there I'd have groaned at Cameron's answers.
It wouldn't have proven much however.
In fact the statement from the whole night,I have heard today is Ed Miliband's, from actually even some Conservative voters who are not so hardline,(I have found a good number of Conservative voters who also think the voters should be told what cuts are coming and to what and who),the statement he made as to,he wants to be a PM that under promises but over delivers rather than a PM who over promises and under delivers.
You can get at me all you like but I talk to far more former and present Lib Dem voters, Conservative voters and undecided voters when out canvassing, than I ever do Labour ones.
You gain next to nothing as to new votes from the people who already agree with you,that battle is won.
You need to find out what those not supporting you think, so kindly don't do me the injustice of saying I do something different please and just quote Labour voters,when you have no experience or knowledge of what I actually am doing walking miles in the streets.
Labour voters also are the ones helping us in the main.
I don't need to in any way relay what they are saying.
You don't know me personally, thankfully,so kindly don't make unfounded judements or assumptions from your own agenda as to what I am doing or not doing, thank you.
I will work my hardest to cionvince even one undecided voter Labour is the way forward, so kindly refrain from putting down thew ork I am trying to do from your biased opinion of what I stand.
One thing I do stand for is honesty,and little of that is coming out in this election and none at all from Cameron as to his next round of severe cuts programme.
