Share 70 views As a Party attempting to revive rebuild and reorganise as a campaigning and well organised electoral Party locally, this election could be said to have come to soon for us. In the end despite running the foundations of a good campaign we came 4th of 4 and have much work to do to really get our message across and make sure democracy works against the Lib-Dem hegemony. What is more interesting is that even with a low turn out whi...

Share 36 views Talking to residents of Malling Street, looks like many of them have never seen a councillor , never mind actually get any of them to support them. As our campaigner Jonathan Spencer and his colleagues talked to people on the doorsteps canvassing for votes in the byelection, the same story gets told: Traffic speeding at 40 50 and 60 mph in a 30mph zone, at times the road is almost impossible to cross. One resident s...
Share 29 views The ex-Labour, ex Independent, now LiberalDem/Tory Mr Stockdale has been busy with his first class post mailing hundreds of Labour Voters with his reminder that using your postal vote is important. It would seem this has galvanised support but not always for him and his Liberal Democrat friends. I am reminded of Jack straw reminding Nick Clegg, when he anounced the referendum in Parliament that in opposition Mr Clegg called t...
Share 24 views Is Norman Baker a Tory? What do Lib-dem voters who voted for norman Baker “to keep the Tory out” think now? What do you think if you are a lib -dem supporter, or a lib-dem councillor? This what we said during the election campaign: “Not only are the Lib Dems asking for Labour supporters to vote for him(Norman Baker), but he will use your vote to put David Cameron and the Conservatives into Government.”...
Share 18 views Vote Labour Dear Voter, Despite being the Labour candidate, I wanted to let you know that the current Liberal MP was set to win in this constituency even before the election started. This isn’t my opinion, but the view of the Electoral Reform Society, that back in April called this one of the 382 safe seats in the UK that won’t be changing hands. If you’re not convinced, this view is also shared by the following: UK...
Share 32 views Traffic congestion and reducing pollution are both issues in Lewes that need to be tackled. We need to see better public transport, but also a proper cycle lane network, so that people will use their bike and leave the car at home. Take a minute to support this campaign, by emailing the lead members for Transport at East Sussex County Council. You can either add your name to the message below (don’t forget to add it agai...
Share 5 views You can airbrush your posters, David, but you can’t airbrush your policies. In the last leadership debate, Gordon Brown spoke for all of us when he demanded to know what the Tories will do to safeguard the economic recovery and protect jobs. No surprise – Cameron refused to offer any guarantees. Over the last two years, the Tories have used every trick in the PR handbook in order to duck the difficult questions. As t...
Share 11 views Lewes Labour Party candidate Hratche Koundarjian supports The Robin Hood Tax: “Considering that taxpayers’ money has kept these banks afloat, it is only fair that now the economy is improving they give something back to help the poorest both in the UK and abroad — as well as paying the taxpayer back.” Public figures have been quick to back the call. Max Lawson, head of financial development at Oxfam, said it could be ...
Share 8 views Governing is difficult, and we know that over the last 13 years Labour hasn’t always lived up to all our expectations. They haven’t given us everything we’ve asked for. But, when it comes down to it, Labour has changed Britain for the better. So what about the Tories? Make no mistake, we know what they stand for: greed. Big cuts to public spending, soaring unemployment, scrapping rules that give mums and dads ...
