I have had a busy week. The general election campaign got into full swing and I have been out canvassing. This week I actually had some people talking to me.

It has been an education for me. In Stevenage at least, you can never judge by appearances who is going to talk, or how they will vote. Despite worries of big money corrupting politics, the LibDem campaign in Stevenage still comprises the candidate and a small band of volunteers knocking on peoples’ doors.

Last night Nick Clegg, the LibDem candidate for Prime Minister, easily won the leaders debate. There has been a boost for the LibDems in the follow up polls. It’s still along way to go, but it will be interesting to see how this all affects our reception on the door step.

I am in the Town Centre shopping precinct tomorrow morning, a good opportunity to see how the atmosphere has changed.

There has been speculation that with the LibDems now scoring well we can expect the dirt to come flying our way. So this track is for anyone facing the dirt.
