16 Candidates apparently.

[Inspector Knacker]

Two of whom caught my attention and set me thinking.

The candidate for the Northern Independence or whatever it's called, the name escapes me is an ex Labour MP. Is she still a Party member?

The Women's Equality Party I am lead to understand from several people they  have offered to support the Labour Party candidate if the Labour Party meets some of their demands.
Can anyone confirm this as true?

Sorry, I don't know the answer to the question you posed IK, so I guess I'm going a little off topic here, as I'm more concerned that out of those 16 candidates, there's only one (that I am aware of) that actually lives in the town, and so far I have seen nothing that particularly enamours me with her...

Living in the town, or at least being from the town is something that I consider as being a priority prerequisite for candidates seeking my vote.

Could we make this thread a place to discuss the pros and cons of the individual candidates?

[Inspector Knacker]

I would like to hope so.

The answer to your second question seems to be 'yes'.

The first question's best explained via this link.  https://order-order.com/2021/03/29/battle-of-the-labour-losers/

[Inspector Knacker]

If the answer to the second question is yes, why then wasn't the option offered to all Parties, surely if they're also willing to accede to their demands what's the problem?
Why was the offer only made to one Party. I think it tells me all I need to know.

A bit more of the jigsaw? https://skwawkbox.org/2021/04/13/calling-all-centrists-fancy-standing-in-for-labour-by-election-candidate-in-hustings-debate/?fbclid=IwAR3TDT2FsfouvUvAG34p-hk4glcK7ym4zbhjMkIdxdVfg7cszvhFzauhepw

She'll probably debate with the empty chair and the chair will win.

Is it true the party was founded in Brighton...... how far North is Brighton.?

Just been informed the Northern Independence Party was founded 21October 2020 in Brighton by a lecturer at the University of Sussex, former Labour activist .

Since they didn't register with the Electoral Commission in time, the party's theoretical only - she's having to stand as an independent. But ... I've heard that the far left's endorsing her claiming that they're no longer represented by Starmer's Labour. Could this be a symbol of a deeply fragmented - if not splintered - political party?

We can only live in hope as the Horny handed sons of the soil of Hampstead/Islington v the horny handed sons of the campus open hostilities. What happened to the working class?

Currently on furlough?

I don't suppose anyone has a list or a link to a list of the candidates do they? With basic information about who they are, who they represent, where they live etc.

Cheers, but it shows as content unavailable. I suspect a FB account is needed to view it.

I'll ask the wife to check it out for me. She's on facetube
