at the last election, after being flooded out i was staying in carlisle for several months. it's a labour/tory marginal and there were a few stalls in the town centre on a few saturdays before the vote. it felt like something quite old fashioned strolling between them, i enjoyed some good arguments. with reference to another thread - my guilty pleasure at the time was a good discussion with the bnp bloke. far more intelligent and principled than labour or tory candidates. we hated each other's arguments but were able to respect each other and laugh about it. taught me a lot
