Most local parties have something in the region of 500 members, the vast majority of whom aren’t active canvassers. Losing 48 door knockers would suck, but I’d bet good money that all 48 weren’t door knockers.

Losing 48 passive members would be nothing; membership fluctuates by almost that margin for mundane reasons over the course of a few months anyway.

It’s not getting “spicy”. This is a complete irrelevance that only a site like Skwawkbox would care about.

The average voter in Chingford is not going to give a toss.
