the kind of set pieces so actually it is a good time to do some questions that people want answers to. yeah, so you ve sent in the questions. we re going to brainstorm the answers. crosstalk well, i don t know. some of these, i think, maybe are slightly more discursive rather than, like, right or wrong answers. right, question one is from phil, and he says. oh, this isjust basically what we ve just been saying. is there such a thing as election fatigue? and if so, how might campaigns track and consider this? do they work to time key announcements early to try and avoid policy commitments not landing with voters? so i think there s two things that seem contradictory there. one, yes, there is such a thing as people going, oh, my god, i want it over, just get on with it. there is also, however, the fact that there are lots and lots of voters who don t really tune in properly until the very last minute, because guess what people have got better things to do than obsess ab
