IS there apathy among local political parties as well as the electorate?

In the run up to the recent election the only communication I received, apart from the polling card, was from the Conservative party.

I arrived at the Polling Station not even knowing the names of all the candidates. It was like playing a guessing game.

I always exercise my right to vote and encourage my daughter to do the same.

In the fifteen years we have lived in Bradshaw ward we have only been doorstep-canvassed once.

Perhaps there would be more interest if a "monkey" were to be put up in opposition to the main parties!
