If I turned up at her surgery I figure I would of done more harm than
good since she would of twigged pretty quickly that I was a black flag
waving non voter and therefore of little value to her.  I have no
objection to working with these people though for the 'common good' even
if I am not quiet sure what that is.  Voting for these people however
gives me a gut instinct of 'wrongness' that no rational debate has yet
been able to overcome.

Peace Jim
