What you really wanted was to argue with someone who you aren't going to vote for anyway, so that you can look smart and they can look dumb. You could have chosen one of their basic policies that might affect you - e.g. EU red tape, joining the Euro, changes in income tax, cutting / replacing Trident, changes in tax, etc. etc. Instead, you chose two topics which are irrelevant to the majority and expect the person delivering the leaflets and canvassing opinion on the main issues to have full details of the micro-policies.
But, well done for winning the argument
Do we feel better now??

I wish one of the candidates (or even a canvasser) would actually come round, but they never do.
Lots of leaflets, but nothing personal. Labour write to my wife, but not to me - maybe because when they asked in 2005 "I hope I can count on your support", I wrote back and told them exactly why they could not. To her credit, she wrote back to thank me for my opinion.

Sorry for setting my sights so high

I really warmed to my theme after a few mins and he made a run for it
Hopefully this question will also work on the various doorstep sellers of religion.

I'd suggest that expecting them to know all the policies of the party they are delivering leaflets for is more than a touch optimistic.
