The Thursday Call in on leafleting regulatins turned out to be something of a damp squib. A number of people seemed to remain unaware that we have had similar rules since 1994, and that in some ways the new rules are a liberalisation (e.g. the new rules exempt "political purposes" not just "political parties"). The other key issue is enforcement. Everyone agrees this has to be proportionate. As there has been so little awareness of these rules over the past twenty years, I think it unlikely that we will suddenly get overzealous enforcement now.
