We are heading for a general election in a few weeks.

Of course emails will be sent out if they have your email address.

It's sort of important.

You could always e-mail them back and ask what they intend to do about unsolicited phone calls and e-mails :-D

Ann, Gwynne,
Have you tried contacting them and asking to be taken off their e-mail list? A little comment about how annoying, intrusive and not being much of a vote catcher may spur them on :-D

We're getting lots from the Tories and quite a few from Labour. Oh the joys of living in a marginal constituency.

I realise that, Bob. :-D

I'd much rather have the paper stuff that comes through my letter box, straight in to the bin placed underneath.

Have to admit to signing online petitions, but this doesn't lead to political parties contacting me.
I don't give my e-mail address if I buy anything in a shop. I just tell them I haven't got one, and show them my ancient Nokia mobile with a shrug :-D
Why would a shop, to whom I'm paying there and then NEED my e-mail address?

Perhaps you completed a questionaire and left your email address?

Although there may be no basis for suspicion, I never 'sign' an online you.gov petition. Big Brother is here!
