I'd love to be able to campaign on this. I'd even consider going door to door. But the problem in areas where I live is that we've been so poorly served by comms for so long it's become any port in a storm. Port, get it? The issues of "what could have been" is lost in the existential problem of how bad "what is" is. Our marginal seat is happy with crumbs, sadly.

BUT large parts of this electorate are getting NOTHING yet, only some marginal marginal booths that really did have nothing much at all. And our idiot MP thinks that's enough. He's off in KL I heard. Another ex-cop like Duddon. Still, it's a .7 margin, so there's hope he'll be gone if MalT stuffs up like the train wreck he just gave on AM. Mr Arrogant is back.
