Trying isn't it!

I have just had a whole weekend of Green Party stuff - and I am tied physically but my mind is teaming with ideas so I can't actually sleep just yet. I met with a fellow Green person from Norwich where in the not to far distant future they are going to have a Green Party council. I mean a real borough council run by Green Party councilors. Amazingly there are other places around the country where there are other Green parties on the brink of taking power. It is good to know that it can happen so why can we not make the breakthrough in North Tyneside? Is there something intrinsically non-green about the place? I don't think so. It has the same mix of people who have the same mix of problems and pleasures as do the good people of Norwich but we do not seem to be able to reach them.

Over the next few months we will be running a campaign to try an get Julia Erskine elected to the job of MP for Tynemouth (we would have liked to have put someone up in Tyneside North but we just don't have the human or cash resources so if you happen to have a spear couple of million under the matres you don't want there is a Green Party that will happily spend it for you.) Tynemouth constituency is a nice seaside area with a little urban depreciation but not much. It is going to be a hotbed of activity politically as the blue-bes think they can take it from the redies while the oranges think that they are going to slip in and grab the prize. There are also a range of Nazi and right wing parties and us, the Green Party. Julia is a very good candidate and would make a very good MP. Unfortunately it would need you lot out there in Tynemouth constituency to vote for her but you wont. That would be to hard. Alot of you will prefer to stick your head in the sand and hope that it will all go away rather than go out and vote - which doesn't help - anybody. If all the good people who normally didn't bother to vote voted for Julia she would be elected.

So Vote for

Julia Erskine

for the Member of Parliament for the Tynemouth Constituency
