Leaflets

I wish I could understand why some people insist on ringing my bell in order to hand me a leaflet for their candidate? Happened last night with Chris Fox's leaflet. The guy distributing them didn't really want to promote Fox, just give me the leaflet. He wasn't looking to engage in political discussion with me (maybe he's heard I'm an obnoxious so and so). He just handed me the Fox leaflet and was ready to leave until I started talking. He was pleasant, but was clearly happy to be on his way when the conversation was over.

And, why is it the Green Party hands out leaflets? Will they be sending someone around later to collect them? Or am I supposed to throw them away?

I'm not a fan of the Green Party and can't imagine voting for them, but my kids want me to vote for the Green candidate in the local election because "she's really nice". And, I know they're right. She is really nice. She even patched up my daughter after a nasty spill off her bicycle outside the woman's home.

So, I'm torn between voting with my political prejudices or for the nicest person.

Actually, most of the Green Party people seem really nice. Even Mr. Sargent and Mr. Gormley. Too nice to hold real political power if you ask me. Would they ever support any tough military or even police action (other than against illegal dumping)?
