Canvassing Update

- In the last few days, we've canvassed most of Avondale Road, Broadway, and Earlsdon Ave North and South, as well as the north half of Broad Lane. Broadway, last night, was especially positive!

- We've got 17 people signed up to come to the election count for us (six of our eight candidates, plus a number of friends). Goodness knows what will happen with postal ballots this year!

- The Echo has come out with their "election profiles" section in their May issue. It was interesting that the Lib Dems didn't get a profile in for Earlsdon, nor the Tories for Whoberley.

- A number of people are asking on the door about if it would be hard to be a lone councillor amongst 53 others. I would use the opportunity to bring more attention to Green politics and positions over my four years. If I do that effectively, I'll have another councillor or two joining me in 2008, and a few more in 2010. As well, if I were to win very very early on Friday morning, Lambeth and Bristol are other councils with lone Green councillors, so I'd have some people to ask how it was for them, tactics, strategy, etc.
