Finally meeting some real people… they just aren’t old enough to vote
Today David Miliband, Nick Clegg and Ed Miliband have spoken to some actual, real people. Something that has been sorely missing from this election campaign.
And what do the 7-year-old who asked Mr Miliband about his bus driving ambitions, those 3-year-olds messing about with playdough with Mr Clegg and these teenagers apparently hanging on to Mr Cameron’s every word have in common? None of them is old enough to actually vote.
It’s becoming a theme – need to get out from behind your lectern but don’t want too many awkward questions about immigration? What about an intensive playground Q&A with a three year old?
Feeling a little “Westminster political elite”? Grab Boris Johnson and head to a finger painting workshop with some politically engaged five year olds.
