I've had that but thankfully rarely.

Most of the time I find people very welcoming, especially the elderly, they seem to like to chat and also like the company.
Whether most of them will even vote for anyone is another matter.
I just do my bit as best as I can.

It's all part of the learning.

I tell everyone who comes to my door that I am voting for their party, regardless of who they are. I don't want to be rude to anyone but I find door knocking intrusive personally so the easiest and less rude way to get them to leave quickest is to say I am voting for them.

That is done loads AnnieK.

I haven't found anyone rude really, they just say no thank you,not interested.
Some have stickers up too saying no callers so I pass them by.

Then at times we find, when I say have you any questions,I can be there 10 minutes or more chatting,we have even had cups of tea offered.

The ones I love are the ones who say something like, ''oh it must be election time we never see you people after one election 'till the next''.

I'm glad no one is rude to you....I assume it's voluntary so would be pretty awful if you give up your free time and then get abuse.

Yeah,it is voluntary but I love learning about people and what they are thinking.
I go around with a good bunch of people, the actual candidates get more abuse then we do.

Sometimes we cross paths with other party canvassers/leafleters too and that is always usually really friendly too.
I am loving it really.
