A Liberal Bank Holiday!

The campaign for the Norton Radstock Town Council by election is going extremely well.

I spent most of my bank holiday weekend in Midsomer Norton pouding the streets with leaflets, glossy flyers and meeting local people.

It was quite encouraging to hear from a resident on Saturday afternoon that ours was the first leaflet they had received. Where are the other parties? Are they not putting much effort in because they think they'll win (or perhaps won't win) or was it just that the street we were in the opposition had not covered?

Just when we thought no one else had made a show two men in suits were spotted wearing blue rosettes (in a car with a boat on the roof rack!).

Having now covered the whole of Midsomer Norton North with our first leaflet there is still no sign of the party that called the election - Labour. Are they feeling a little foolish now? I guess we'll find out in ten days time.
