The Isle of Wight Labour Party has selected Ventnor Town Councillor and well-known Island resident, Stewart Blackmore to be its candidate for the 2015 General Election.
KILF say that although Island Line is in the next franchise, its long-term future is still far from certain. They're looking forward to hearing First MTR's “exciting package of proposals".
The campaign – which includes activists from the local Conservative, Labour, Liberal Democrat and Green parties – will be launched next Monday (30th May) with a speech in Newport by the Chief Secretary to the Treasury, Greg Hands MP.
The prospective parliamentary candidates have shared their views on many local issues over the last month, but do you have any idea how they might vote on a £100bn Trident replacement? We asked the question and found out for you.
