Sleaze, post offices, tax, immigration, cost of EU, smoking ban, the whole lot. People, particularly young people and new voters, questioning what difference Cameron could make. Most seem to see him as just another version of Labour. Extremely interesting.
Chris had two conservative party members come up to him a few days ago and say "we're conservative members, but what we're doing is wrong. We're voting UKIP"!!! And that was right under the nose of a bloke in a blue rosette who apparently looked most disturbed.
Not seen a response like it before. Whether it will translate into votes remains to be seen, but certainly it feels like a shift in attitude towards us compared with other campaigns I have been involved with.
As I say, not necessarily ground breaking, but feels like progress.
