Canvassing Dress Code

Mark Devenport | 15:29 UK time, Wednesday, 5 May 2010

David McNarry had just taken off his tie after a hot day out canvassing in Strangford. He knocked one last door in Ballynahinch to be greeted by a dapper gentleman waering something akin to a smoking jacket. As Mr McNarry launched into his UCUNF spiel, the voter interrupted to say "I'm sorry, but I don't talk to anyone who comes to my door without wearing a tie". The Ulster Unionist MLA protested that he'd been wearing a tie all day and was getting hot and tired. "Sorry" replied the voter "that's my policy".

Mr McNarry retired sartorially wounded, but pressed a colleague into service who was wearing a tie to go and knock the door and try again.
