Island Election Coverage Out of the Blocks Early

Thanks to everyone who has sent us comments on how you’d like to have the forthcoming General Election covered.

Island Election Coverage Out of the Blocks EarlyWe haven’t made a decision yet on the best way to do it on VB (lots to think about!) , but in the meantime others have been getting busy with the keyboards and video cameras.

VentnorTV have been out with their camera crew interviewing some of the parliamentary candidates.

Luisa Hillard (pictured) posed questions to Andrew Turner (Conservative), Jill Wareham (Liberal Democrat), Bob Keats (Green Party) and Mike Tarrant (United Kingdom Independence Party – UKIP). We understand that they also interviewed Mark Chiverton (Labour) and this will be coming soon.

Check their VentnorTV Website to watch the video.

Meanwhile, VB contributor Kevin has created a place on Facebook, “Who To Vote For on the Isle of Wight“, where the electorate can pose questions to the several candidates standing.

We’ll let you know next week what sort of coverage we intend to provide on VB.
