The Campaign So Far

You can find a list of all the candidates for all 18 wards in Coventry here.

The number of BNP candidates is as I had feared. It's unclear where they will strongly campaign and where they will just be on the ballot.

We've distributed 60% of our leaflets for Earlsdon, and I've just been told that we're halfway in distributing our leaflets in Cheylesmore.

The Earlsdon Echo asks each candidate in Earlsdon and Whoberley to write up a 100-word summary of their platform, so I will need to do that sometime later in the week. As well, I'm hoping that a few venues will host all candidates meetings, so we can get our message out to even more people.

We're planning a few weekend stalls for the remainder of the campaign. Even if those fall through, you will see us out on Saturdays on Earlsdon High Street, talking with passersby.

Finally, I have a series of press releases to send out, on issues such as youth employment and training, Trident and being anti-war, plastic recycling, our attitude to democracy and a pledge to hold weekly surgeries, crime, community finance initiatives, cultural policy, and renewable energy being part of new housing/corporate developments.
