Right now, we're going around, ward by ward, around Coventry to ask for signatures to nominate our Green Party candidates onto the ballot for 1st of May. Our deadline is a week this Wednesday, at noon.
Nine wards are well in hand, with two entirely completed (Lower Stoke and Whoberley). Wainbody, Cheylesmore and Upper Stoke will be next.
The reactions at the door, when we're asking for signatures for nomination forms (we need to get 10 people to sign for each candidate) are, well, interesting.
A number have said, "no, we don't want any thanks," as though we're selling aluminium siding!
I usually go out of my way to say a bit about the candidate's background ("she's a student at the University of Warwick" ... "he's a researcher in globalisation"), but very few people ask.
Only one person has asked so far about our "programme" ... she was German, so a bit atypical.
Ask us about our programme! Ask other candidates looking for signatures about their background, and their policies. Don't just sign our forms. Ask us what we're going to do for your area of Coventry.
