Susanna Rustin hits the campaign trail in Queen's Park. Just a few months after joining a political party for the first time, I was standing in the Queen's Park Westminster by-election. The election day was an unreal prospect. I phoned my ad-hoc campaign manager, and asked what to do. Go to work, he said. Act normal. But I didn't feel very normal. I had an odd but quite enjoyable feeling of nervous expectation and exhilaration, familiar from other election days. Only, of course, no one else in the office was feeling this at all. I kept picturing my local area, imagining people on their way to vote.
