I READ with interest your recent correspondent who thinks election candidates 'do not care'.

I try not to fall in to that category and if he asked my wife she would tell him that I am an obsessive campaigner, not an apathetic one.

I certainly will be out canvassing for votes as I have done when a candidate in local elections, but may not get to Midland Close -- to visit all 70,000 electors is an impossible task.
