Floating Voters ?
At this 22nd hour and counting , is it a waste of time for these party leaders to be bothering swooping into factory x or school x .
Surely the electorate ( including floating voters ) have heard what they have to say already .
Is a visit to a school etc , going to change / decide who you are going to vote for ?

It's a similar sort of situation to when dignitaries visit a disaster zone; they don't do any good, maybe even get in the way but, if they didn't visit, they would be accused of not caring.

I'm with bhg - anything less than going to the wire looks like complacency, and that will put voters off faster than anything.
Even if - as in previous elections, one leader could be pretty sure of getting in - they still have to go through the motions of drumming up last-minute votes, because not doing it looks like he is taking a win for granted - and that can quickly turn into a loss.

I have to say there has been very little activity by our local party hopefuls. Except for the incessant Party political broadcasts, and my daily e-mails from Sam Cam and Grant Schapps and Boris asking for £20 every time they write to me, all has been quiet. I'm still bewildered how so many people can think of voting for Minibrain...none of his policies add up apart from the bill for his Moses stone.
