Arrangements

Well, now we've got a text for our leaflet we're spending some time trying to draw up a decent design. Fiddly business - there's always someone who will complain.

Anyway, we'll need to print about 54,000 leaflets to reach every home in the constitueency - I reckon less than 10% of them will veer get read, but at least we'd be reaching a few thousand people, and they'd be the ones actively paying attention to politics anyway.

Given that the sitting Labour MP won with only about 18,000 votes last time, we know there's a lot of people out there to tempt into the arena.

Anyway, next stage will be to get the leaflet approved by the Royal Mail - it has to be solely an election statement that passes guidelines on taste and decency. After that, get them printed and sent out.

I'll try and arrange a downloadable version to go on the party website once it's done.

I think it's looking good anyway.
