ONE of the good things about the postponement of the general election until next year is that it gives us all more time to think about what we might ask the canvassing politicians when they call to our doors.

I imagine that the majority of you have been thinking of little else, other than which issues you will raise with the politicians hoping for re-election, with the first-timers, and with the previously unsuccessful who ring your doorbell.
