Campaign Launch for Earlsdon

I'll be the candidate for the Coventry Green Party this year for Earlsdon. We received 16% of the vote last year (in 2 of the 8 polling stations, we averaged 25%), and we aim to build on that this year.

We have 7000 A4 leaflets ready, and eager election elves will soon be descending upon my house to help distribute leaflets. Since we're starting earlier than last year, we'll have 3 full weeks to canvass door-to-door and talk with you on the doorstep.

Engaging with people, and breaking down the idea that voting doesn't matter, or that politicians are all the same, will be key to our campaign. We need to be the alternative in Coventry to the mainstream "grey" parties, and as such, we're running in seven other wards this year.
