Well said, quite right: get out there and vote. I attended the hustings that Independent candidates Steve Stubbings and Chris Welsford held at the Middle School this evening. I think they are the only Ventnor candidates to hold a public meeting but, what was interesting is that they want to know what people think and care about so that they can represent them.

We only vote in the government/councils and EU ministers we deserve!

Echo that Steve. This “so-called independent” has spent today doing exactly the same. An awful lot of people I met had binned their polling cards and had no intention of voting. They changed their minds when I pointed out that by not voting they might have to endure even more of what they are so unhappy about. Funny how the prospect of another four years of party… Read more »

I actually saw JFB out, presumably knocking doors, last evening.
