Hughes & Huhne campaigns go AWOL

The lack of e-campaigning from the Hughes and Huhne campaigns has puzzled me. I registered with all three campaigns in their different ways in the hope that I would get to see what each candidate had to say and make my mind up accordingly.

So far I have had 11 electronic contacts from the Campbell campaign, 3 from Hughes and 3 from Huhne. In addition to this I have had 3 printed communications from Huhne, 2 from Campbell and 1 from Hughes plus the booklet with my ballot paper.

Now lack of printed communications I can understand as it is expensive to produce and send out but I am baffled at the lack of email communications from the Hughes and Huhne campaigns.

I would agree that an e-campaign has much more to offer than just enmails. However, for those who specifically subscribe I would have thought more information would be good. Having said that in order to join the Hughes campaign I think I had to indicate I was a supporter even though I am undecided

I don't know how you're missing out, Tony, but I usually get a daily summary from the Huhne campaign with all the latest news stories from the website. Plus I've had a couple of emails from MP supporters on why they're backing him.

I get a daily update from the Huhne campaign also.

I have also had half a dozen campaign emails and a lovely one from Lynne.

Yes, I've been inundated by mails from Chris Huhne.

Well I have had a couple of the MP emails mentioned and I think one other so they clearly have my email address but are not using as much as for some others.
