I TOO was appalled at the total lack of canvassing by any of the parties in my area for my vote.

All I received was one small pamphlet. No chance to discuss local matters with any potential candidate despite one of them just living around the corner from me.

The result was that I did not vote. After all, why should I when so little interest is taken by candidates of its electorate. If they are not interested in local views at election time, they certainly will not listen once elected.
