Collectables

Surprisingly these are collectables.    Not only do some individuals want to amass election leaflets and materials - and politicians get requests for them - but the National Library of Scotland now  asks for not only leaflets produced by each candidate but also intends to garner electronic electoral communications on websites and Facebook,  by twitter and I suppose even such blips as this. 

These are of course primary sources.  The problem is that there are so many and not all are entirely reliable (viz the Lib Dem bar chats in  Argyll & Bute which feature in every piece of  their material but which compare totally different elections and are drawn in a way that it would be charitable to call misleading).
