The General said:
The electorate sets the agenda on expenditure on the doorstep during elections
which I think is bollocks. No one has ever knocked my door, or asked me what the priorities are. The reason for that is, that I live in one of the (vast majority of) constituencies where Margaret Thatcher would win if she wore a red rosette, and said, "I'm Labour really".
They do what is cheap electorally, not what is right. End of.
