Oddly, I had a Yes campaigner at my door three times over the course of the campaign.

And I know someone who was out numerous times in Banff, canvassing as much of the city as they could.

So I suspect that it depended very much on who they had locally and what they were able to do.

Speaking to the same person three times suggests a lack of efficiency.

To be fair, all three times they were delivering leaflets too.

It has been suggested to me that the Yes ground activity was focused in the poorer areas of Glasgow and Dundee and that might indicated a desire on the part of the Radical Indepenence canvassers to get in touch with the disenfranchised.

That said, I was disappointed in the Yes ground operation. I had expected more and better from them.
