I think any good government will target on the finishing date, that is, the polling day and make sure that their strategy is strong and in place to get them successfully re-elected.
If you're an independent voter, I'm willing to bet that you were not too happy at the prospect of hitting the polls on November 8, 2016. But let me guess - you did it anyway because after all, it's your civic duty, right?
The poll that matters is the one that happens on Election Day.
I was Margaret Thatcher in the school election during the 1983 General Election.
I would like to express my deep gratitude to the people of Bijepur Assembly constituency for having showered their blessings on the BJD.
Maintain your rage and enthusiasm for the campaign for the election now to be held and until polling day.
The electoral calendar is set in stone, by law.
Stories come and go. The challenge is to frame the questions that voters will be asking on polling day, such as who has avoided a global depression and worked here to deliver jobs.
In the UK we have general elections roughly every four or five years because we know circumstances, situations and therefore opinions change over time.
