Should the politicians just stay at home?
Labour battle buses in the Wirral last week
All seated on a small room on the concert hall complex above Buchanan St steps outside.
We await Ed Balls and Jim Murphy the Scottish Labout leader. There are about 60 in the room by invitation and guest list only.
One serial Labour heckler offered to carry our tripod in order to get in – jokingly to be fair.
Part of me wonders what the point is of these events? Plainly weeks of plastic campaigning have made little difference to any of the parties’ standings in the polls.
Should they all simply have stayed at home?
My impression is that the constant bombardment of all of them taking about millions of this and billions of that, leaves the voters utterly unmoved and that in fact the voting process is stimulated far more by non-statistical, emotional and frankly less rational processes little understood by the PR spinners who claim to comprehend so much but who have achieved precisely nothing as the polls show.
