6 weeks of blogging - I promise

Let's be honest, those of us who feel strongly about politics live for elections. They provide the drama, the nerves, the worry and the joy. It is a time where the public are most likely to be paying any bloody attention to the stuff we care about.

So I will be keep a blog, nothing major, during the Welsh General Election Campaign. This blog will self destruct on May 6th I promise!

Perhaps one thing I could begin on is polls. It has always been my view to not really pass comment on polls. I don't doubt their importance to the political debate, they are relatively accurate in a national sense I would imagine, but I just don't see the point in debating what a 2% change in your opinion polling means.

The simple fact is that in my relatively small experience of elections there are two wars - the ground and the air (waves?) war. The ground war is the bread and butter, localised campaigning. The air war is about the national debate through the media. At a later date I might perhaps write a piece on why the air war is stunted in Wales.

Both 'wars' important for different reasons, both are important at different times although both are fought at the same time. The one thing I have noticed is that many people are undecided on which party to go for. It is that potential to win that vote on the doorstep that makes us go through that sometimes daunting activity of knocking on people's doors.

It goes without saying but I better say it - these views are my own, they do not represent anyone or anything else but me, myself and I.
