Mark Beech’s election summary from Aldridge & Brownhills
The Aldridge-Brownhills campaign did not get off to a great start. On my way home from paying the council the £500 deposit my shoelace snapped. Pink Andorevil Gem who had helped or hindered in previous campaigns defected to the Tories. In the first week of the campaign my car broke-down (anyone know where I can… Read More
Nick the Flying Brick reports from Doncaster
The election count was an excellent occasion and I had an keen group of supporters. We made our customary loud entrance to the counting hall and this was covered by The Telegraph among others. At the end of the night at about 5.30am I was asked very politely if I wouldn’t mind standing at the… Read More
Arty Pole reports from Louth and Horncastle, Lincs
I got in local papers and appeared on local TV and radio and attended four hustings. Fifty percent of my manifesto was on local matters which had been failed to be addressed by the other candidates. I also stood for my Parish council of Gt. Carlton which had seven candidates for four seats. In the… Read More

In the evening we went around… Read More

Baron Barnes Von Claptrap from Gower, South Wales
Von Claptrap and team worked hard on the election campaign and found it both educational and fun. If we had been better prepared we would have done better. Financially, we had a small surplus which we have yet to deal with. My advice to future prospective candidates would be ‘Start your campaign plan a year… Read More
Baron reports from Mid Sussex
The count was poorly organized and didn’t finish until 07.00 on Friday.To make it even worse the bar only sold cold fizzy ‘beer’ and closed at 11, but apart from that it was a great campaign. I polled 329 votes an increase of 60 over the last election and a 0.1% swing towards Lunacy. The… Read More
