More canvassing...
A busy evening. At 8pm we had Part 1 of the Hackney Labour Group AGM where I was re-elected as Chief Whip for the 7th year in a row, uncontested.
For the two hours before that though the entire Group was out knocking on doors on estates in Chatham Ward, which is the ward I represent on the council.
Scores on the doors from 287 electors contacted:
Labour for both Mayor and Assembly: 198
Ken + Green for Assembly: 1
Ken + Respect for Assembly: 1
Ken + Undecided for Assembly: 3
Labour for Assembly, undecided for Mayor: 2
Not Voting: 32
Against Labour: 26
Undecided: 15
Lib Dem: 3
Conservative: 3
Respect (Galloway version): 3

You have to be making this stuff up OR the voters are telling you porkies. I was out in White Hart Lane last night and, from my figures, the two parties were neck and neck. Didn't meet any Liberals (but I never do) but did meet more Green supporters than I had expected.

Not making it up - if you look at the 2004 results in detail:

you will see that my ward was the 26th best of 697 wards in London, 79.9% Ken on second round, whilst White Hart Lane was the 316th best, on "only" 59.45% Ken.

Presuming that the Tories have some records at least, and are targeting people, 50/50 in a ward where last time Ken got less than 60% of the vote must be devastating for them.

Let's get this right - 45 Labour councillors out for 2 hours and you only spoke to 287 people - that's only just over two an hour. What were you doing??
