So head down i did my best to avoid eye contact, poor bloke next to me got collared by labour,i steeled gaze, and after he went i relaxed again.
But it was all in vain, after several attempts at cajoling folks, he appeared in front of me like a genie from the bottle.
And he asked "Do you mind if i asked who you are voting for in the Election"
Well he did ask
so after i gave him some answers he departed later
somewhat disenchanted.
Whatever he brought up i could counter with Labors record, and to his credit he agreed with most i said, which i might add applies equally to the other main parties.
He was a decent bloke, obviously had his own beliefs, but as i said to him all the main parties need to start listening more to folks rather than slagging each other off.
Finally he has fat chance of Labour in at my home town, if the Tory`s put a treacle pudding for election there, it would be elected, opposite of where i live now.
So first contact, i did tell him to get on here and find out some real eyeopening visions of our Parties.
