The forecast rain didn’t materialise, so got quite a lot done today with the help of Eleanor and Juan.
Eleanor is a Postgraduate Student studying for a PhD in Migration Policy. Juan is an Electrician by trade, but is currently working in a local restaurant. They’re voting Green because they think the Green Party represents “a chance for something different”.
Couldn’t agree more. Green thinking offers us a different kind of politics, which would replace competition with co-operation and majority rule with consensus.
I see Labour are now putting out what I assume is their main leaflet. A glossy full colour production containing a lot of promises, including, as expected, a bid for the green vote. Pity they haven’t quite got the link between economic growth and environmental degradation!
They claim to be offering a “fresh voice for Uplands & Brynmill”. You can make your own mind up about that.
Working around Eaton Crescent and Bryn-y-Mor Road this afternoon. Have now completed everything north of Sketty Road/Walter Road and the south-east part of the ward. Just Brynmill and a few remnants in St Helen’s to go. Hopefully get all the leaflets done this week and then concentrate on face-to-face engagement with the electorate in the last two weeks.
