The people of New Kyo, South Moor, South Stanley and Tanfield Lea had a campaign bus go through today. In the form of 3822 and a few school kids (including myself) pressing a 'Vote Labour' sign against the bus window. We got a few thumbs up along the way plus a couple of no's but we did our best

Nice to see the young-uns taking an interest in promoting politics.
What was the impetus behind the campaigning? Do people in your school have a strong desire to promote the cause of the Labour party? Or did someone simply happen to find a 'Vote Labour' sign and decided to display it for a bit of laugh?

Some Sixth Formers did something regarding politics and certain people were given stuff for each party in signs and other propaganda etc. We managed to get hold of one of these on the bus of course and honestly, was absolutely fantastic and we got so many laughs out of it - i actually didnt want to give it back to the owner.

(27 Apr 2015, 10:09 pm)leestransportphotos We've had nothing from him. It has been stated by UKIP though that what is the point of even trying if you know you have no chance of coming close to winning. I can see why
As a legend once said - “If you fight you won’t always win. But if you don’t fight you will always lose”

I know I have asked mentioned it before...
About a National Government...
If most parties would not entertain the idea of the SNP, would it not be best for some sort of deal between Labour and Tories thrashed out and take any power away from the SNP...
I dont mean a full Con/Lab Coalition, but a confidence and supply deal, would that not stop the SNP in there tracks
RE: Politics (and other political stuff) - MrFozz - 30 Apr 2015
I have had leaflets for the Conservatives, UKIP, Lib Dems and The N.E Party...
Still waiting for Labour, BNP and Greens(if them 2 are standing)

RE: Politics (and other political stuff) - MurdnunoC - 30 Apr 2015
Finally received my UKIP mailshot through in the post today. I found the candidate blurb to be a bit general to be honest. The same blurb, slightly modified, could be used to describe any candidate standing in any constituency. That said, the literature presented by the other parties hasn't been that much better. I've still yet to receive a mailshot from the Greens.
RE: Politics (and other political stuff) - Y961 XBU - 30 Apr 2015
I got mine from Labour today, am tempted to drop buy their office and give it them back in am honest.
Looking at the online Polls and it seems like this Election is going to be fun as Predictions are showing that Con and Lib Dems will not have the required number of seats to make another Col and if an agreement was made Labour and SNP would have the same issue!

It is interesting that you mention the BNP.
The BNP fielded a candidate in Blaydon in 2010 but have no candidates standing in 2015. In 2010, the BNP managed to secure 2,277 votes in Blaydon and managed to keep their deposit - scraping by with 5.1% of the vote share.
In 2010, UKIP did not field a candidate. Mark Bell is standing this time round as previously discussed. It'll be interesting to see whether UKIP are able to secure more votes than the BNP in the upcoming election. If they manage to secure more or less the same amount, then I'd suggest it's a crude indication of where the base of UKIP support lies within the constituency of Blaydon.

He just doesn't learn does he?
Complaining about such trivialities only serves to ridicule him, his party, and their supporters even more.

It is pretty poor really complaining about some rather minor stuff said on a comedy show. They seem to be doing this every time something doesn't go their way, its like a child wanting an ice cream but the child's parents say no so the child then starts crying in the hope mummy and daddy get them an ice cream - I think that's basically describes it.
I would say more on the matter but I may get reported to the police

I would absolutely love it if Big Nige reported me to the police. Not that it would amount to much mind. I'm not regulated by Ofcom so I'm entitled to my own personal opinion peppered with any amount of vitriolic bias to boot.
