which mentioned the Conservative Party once, and the strong and stable Theresa May, and why we should back her, loads of times.

I also got a letter supposedly from May herself, which urged me to back her; was full of her strength and stability and how bad Corbyn was; and had only one mention of the Conservative Party, and none of the local MP. It was like a cult of personality, except that May is an odd target for a cult of personality, not really having one.
