Hard times

We want to keep canvassers on their toes. So in the run-up to May 5, the election blog will be suggesting ways to stretch your candidate's doorstep skills.

This one's for your Tory candidate: "Like Howard Flight, I'm in favour of low taxation and small government. Do you agree?"

Do tell us how they coped - you can post comments here on the blog. We won't be forwarding the names of offenders to Conservative Campaign HQ, but bear in mind that even Tory staffers occasionally visit the Guardian's website.
