I'm glad the starting gun has finally been fired for the official election campaign as it feels like this year has been a dragged out procedure leading up to it, but now we know are only 37 days away from the election and that all the talking is finally not far away from being over and we'll know soon enough who will form the next government.

And those uncertain of fixed term parliament all said it would mean MONTHS of unofficial campaigning, weeks of official campaigning and a real possibility that an already disaffected electorate would be further turned off/bored/sick of it come the day
Do they still get paid up to the election, although they no longer undertake MP's duties?
I hope that's the re-cycling bin ;-)
Most of what is in those leaflets has already been recycled, many times. ;-)
It only starts for anyone when the candidates put themselves on a rostrum to be asked questions they'll frequently struggle to answer. Most of them will avoid the rostrum, knowing that Jeremy Paxman will look like a novice when it comes to asking the right questions. Meanwhile keep an eye on your local paper to see the letters columns and pictures of the candidates visiting schools and hospitals.
Nope. If they wanted them recycled they should've pestered the middle classes with them.
Me too, here you go, I suspect many will especially like the first policy.

Indeed
I am still hoping for an OMRLP/Elvis Loves Pets coalition but sadly I think we may have to wait a few more years for them to save the country!
The irony is the day after the winner is elected they will have no interest in anything you have to say.
They now have power.
Power to say what to can do and what you cant do. Power to force things on all of us.
You have done the only thing you had a say in and that was to vote so now you views are redundant .
Now that parliament is dissolved, does Dave have to leave the N10 residence, for the purpose of living quarters anyway, what's the protocol here?
Hence how nominally Gordon Brown was still PM while the Libs and Cons were negotiating and technically still had the power to react to international events or natural disasters.
Gov't doesn't switch off at any point.
It feels like it has been dragged out already... I am sure people have made up their minds already.
I feel the same
I'm with you.
