Have you ever met your elected representative and had a meaningful and rewarding discussion with them? Nope, me neither. Tell us about your encounters with the vote-hungry election blaggers.

![This is a QotW answer](/images/board_posticon.gif)
1) Kenneth Clarke was MP for the part of Nottinghamshire where I grew up. On my 18th birthday, near to an election, he was in my local pub after attending a "chat to the locals" - long before Farage turned going to the pub as part of election night.
"I hope I can count on your vote in the next election"? he asked.
"I hope you get the beers in"! I replied. And he did. Still didn't vote for him.
2) The anti-christ of teachers, Michael Gove, came to the school I worked in. I asked the Head to not come near my room. So he brings Gove into the classroom when I am teaching the lowest set in the school.
He walks in and asks Ashley* what he is doing.
"You're that twat off the TV." Ash says to him.
"I have been on TV, yes"! replies Gove with a casual dismissal of the remark..
"Did you get caught shagging kids"? Ash throws back...
Never seen anyone leave a room in such a hurry.
*Ash was not his real name. I think it was Tom.
