Local elections are now looming in many areas, and true to form we are contesting the odd seat.
We start with our candidate Jon Smith aka Imwy Eddon. Shadow Minister for extending the 6o/c curfew on Teddy Bears Picnics, who is standing in the Belper Town Council by-election for the North Ward.
This by-election has been caused by the resignation of Hassan Dervish (Lib Dem), who was the only non-Tory on the council. It’ll be a four-way battle between the usual three suspects and Jon. Nick the Brick will be giving support and advise and will be there on the night.

Also present will be the Molesey Stocks . . .
WELFARE – To curb the rising Anti social behaviour, we propose to resurrect the old pastime of the Stocks. These will be set up in all local parks and will have a wheelie bin full of ripened tomatoes, supplied by local farmers and allotment owners. Duration in the stock will depend upon the crime committed, for example graffiti vandalism will be 5 hours. Stocks were used in medieval times to curb the anti social behaver’s of the time. We proposed to invoke the Act of 1405, which is still on statute books today, whereby a Village will be downgraded to a mere hamlet, should there not be any public stocks. East Molesey residents have nothing to fear however as we already have a set of stocks, to be unveiled at our Victory party on May 1st 2008 in the Prince of Wales.
The Practice Polling Booth . . .
ELECTORAL REFORM – As the party that got the voting age reduced from 21 to 18, we fully support the campaign allowing 16 & 17 year olds to enter the political voting system. At present they can decide to leave school, join the armed forces, and claim benefits but currently, they have no say in the running of the country, which after all will hopefully have longer future effects on them than the rest of us. www.votesat16.org.uk We will prepare 16 & 17 year olds for the experience of voting by taking our ‘Practice Polling Booth’ to the streets of Molesey. This will also give people who don’t usually vote the chance to do so, as well as seasonal voters who just want to . ..er . . . practice.
and of course there will be the odd spacehopper floating about . . .
TRANSPORT – All cars will be converted to run on Venos to help stop congestion and Bus passes will be valid to use the riverboat to Kingston & Richmond from Walton & Hampton Court. As there is not a regular bus route that goes between Walton, Esher and Molesey, we propose to build a Water log flume (to be called the Elmbridge Triangle) and Spacehopper & Pram lanes will be created in all shopping centres.
