Hazel Blears spoke to a group of aspiring Labour candidates the other day and put together what we can call the Joy of Campaigning, faithfully recorded for the Progress website.
"Campaigning is like sex ... " said the communities secretary. "If you're not enjoying it, you're not doing it right."
A lot of these candidates, if they are lucky enough to be in safe Labour seats, fear they will in all likelihood be toiling for another 17 months in order to then spend years in opposition. Which makes them in need of something more like the Kama Sutra of campaigning.
But it's still worth a read for all campaigning nymphos everywhere.
