The response time on the site is difficult to reconcile with the amount of active personal participation Martin manages at events, meetings, demonstrations, celebrations etc etc etc.<br /> Activists don't come more active than this!

Scrutiny of local politics and politicians is sadly lacking both within the Council and the local Labour Party.

Firstly as the blurb says this blog...Fair question. Firstly as the blurb says this blog is for all who share concerns about environmental and social justice and oppose cuts and privatisation. That includes Greens, many in the Labour Party. independents, activists and even some Lib Dems such as Barry Cheese who are to the left of some Labour Party members. What happens regarding the Brent Central nomination is important to us all in that respect, particularly after our recent experience with Sarah Teather. <br /><br />Secondly I want to contribute to a healthy local democracy by providing information which is not otherwise available through the local press. This includes stuff on the LP nomination but also on what Brent Council is proposing regarding its budget, regeneration, benefits etc where I can examine reports in some detail and draw out the implications.<br /><br />The Green Party is concentrating on the 2014 Euro elections and local elections at present and Brent GP has not yet selected parliamentary candidates for 2015.Martin Francishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02194641151012303116noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2129943063330427887.post-44747992526976748832013-11-13T10:17:21.340+00:002013-11-13T10:17:21.340+00:00Don't really understand why the Green Party ar...Don't really understand why the Green Party are so interested in Labour's selection - don't you have your own candidate to choose?
