Campaigning for a political party that has its highest membership for decades should be easy. A walk in the park. But a walk down dimly lit streets of run down houses opened my eyes to the closed minds.

“I don’t like him. I can’t vote for him.”

“Do you like the other one?”

“Well, no.”

“But you will vote for him?”

“I’m sorry, I have to go.”

I wasn’t surprised by the defeat, only by the size of it. More votes than the landslide victory in 1997 has resulted in the worst defeat since 1935.

I’m done. Until next time.
