So how was it for you?
Now that the Leadeship Election is over and we begin to scratch our comfort zones... a chance to reflect on what it is like to be on the receiving end of an election campaign.
Did loads of leaflets help you make up your mind? Was it a personal insight from a comment by someone you knew? Did the blogs push out your boat? How about the webcasts? Or did a single ten-second taster on TV settle your mind irrevocably?
We are usually in the position of dishing all this out. Maybe we (the lucky people not actually on one or other of the campaign teams who actually had to make up their minds during the campaign) can think of ways of refining our general campaign strategies.
Do we make easy assumptions about what works and what does not?

Conclusion number 1: an awful lot of people are very bad at predicting election results. Best to bear that in mind come next May :-)
