Ouch – 4.00 am is a very strange time of day. We were up and delivering a Good Morning leaflet in highly targeted areas – New Malden, bits of St. Mark’s and Tolworth.
Back to the office for bacon, eggs, sausages and rolls. Felt a little better after that. Then home for a quick snooze and shower and a change.
Polling day is a very odd day. Each of our wards has a campaign centre and is registering those that are voting so they can start knocking up from about 11am to 12.
Did a tour of each of the centres. Polling felt very slow indeed to start with and at about 6.30 we were registering only a 30% turnout. Things hotted up later in the day and indeed even at 9.00pm there were a lot in the polling stations.
There is not a lot a candidate can do on days like this and so I decided to go to Church – today is Ascension Day!!
This evening I took my wife to dinner whilst the polls closed. We returned home and then wait the call from the agent at the count. Strangely calm again, as with last night not worried by the result really.
