Hi--Is there a way of knowing all the parties that will be standing in a
particular area (Croydon) beforehand 10th June?

Rgs--John

Hey John

I just a booklet through the mail that outlines all Mayoral candidates, all
London Borough MEP and GLA candidates

You should be getting one too

Interesting thing is the Mayoral candidates spiel

ALL seem to be campaigning on the main issue of reducing CRIME with Norris
modling himself on Guilliani

The CONgestion charge will be SCRAPPED by all except Mad Ken & the greenies
and just "Modified" by the fence sitting, wishy washy wibberwals

Public transport seems to be a hot topic too with most advocating the
reduction of speed cameras, bus lanes & speed bumps ( Thank feck!) and Late
or all night running of the Tube

So it looks as though Londoners were polled as to what would win their votes
and CRIME, The scrapping of the CONgestion charge & later running of trains
& tubes were the big three

Another strong theme is the reduction of Council taxes and the sheer amount
of public cash the Mayor & GLA consumes

Doesn't bode well for the Mad Ken *camp* who seem to think that he'll
somehow win a second term after FAILING to deliver on all but the most
meaningless of his pre-election promises

The mainstreamers didn't impress me at all, the suprise candidates who I
thought had the best understanding of what Londoners need were folks and
parties I'd never heared of,

IWCA ? who has heared of them ?

Watch out Mad Ken, looks like your empire has crumbled

I was impressed with Frank Maloney's pledge to abolish the GLA. The
Mayor is part of the GLA so if he was elected he'd abolish himself.

It's the same with the UKIP and BNP candidates for the European
Parliament. What are they going to do if they are actually elected? Work
to abolish the organisation they are paid to be a part of?

No it's NOT

Frank want's to lower the cost of Londoners Poll Tax ( don't give me that
pedantry **** again) by throwing less money at career politicians who get
paid to have a meeting about their last meeting

Yes, they work to assert the will of the people, they couldn't abolish it
from the outside could they

It wouldn't be the first time a parliament had voted itself out of existence
remember 1640summat ?

He obviously needs to start educating his supporters in English grammar.

Is it pedantry to point out that the Poll Tax was abolished in 1993, or
is it accuracy?

The job of the Assembly is to perform a check on the Mayor. There's
something very disturbing about someone getting rid of the only
organisation that is really able to check up on them.

You obviously don't remember anything about it because no Parliament
voted itself out of existence in the 1640s.

Ah yes I'm sure in the history books we'll read that the whole of one of
the biggest parliaments in the world was brought down by a bitter ex BBC
talk show host!
