This is getting spicy! Will it have an impact in that constituency? Losing 48 door knockers has to hurt the campaign

General Discussion for politics in the UK.
Please don't post to both !uk_politics@feddit.uk and !unitedkingdom@feddit.uk .
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.
Posts should be related to UK-centric politics, and should be either a link to a reputable news source for news, or a text post on this community.
Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.
If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread. (These things should be publicly discussed)
Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.
Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
!ukpolitics@lemm.ee appears to have vanished! We can still see cached content from this link, but goodbye I guess! :'(

MODERATORS
Most local parties have something in the region of 500 members, the vast majority of whom aren't active canvassers. Losing 48 door knockers would suck, but I'd bet good money that all 48 weren't door knockers.
Losing 48 passive members would be nothing; membership fluctuates by almost that margin for mundane reasons over the course of a few months anyway.
It's not getting "spicy". This is a complete irrelevance that only a site like Skwawkbox would care about.
The average voter in Chingford is not going to give a toss.
