So while we are indoctrinating our children in endless ways about not crossing the road without looking, saying please and thank you, we are also trying to offer political guidance. I hope that as my son and daughter grow up they will realise for themselves that the system of values we have been trying to instil over the years weren’t too wide of the mark. Yes, I’m sure they will be influenced by what we have said politically, but it will be a basis for their decisions rather than the last and final word. In the meantime it's an extra pair of hands to deliver election leaflets.
