Epsom and Ewell discussion

Nick In conclusion, I have now twice writtent o Grayling who has forwarded my letter to the Electoral Commission who have filibustered on each point. If you believe my points are valid or not valid please state so and why. Thank you. Nick Feb 22

Nick Democratic Voting. I would like to see a) the right for candidates to post 2 x A4 pages in a suitable place inside Polling Stations. This will ensure that the electorate do have the opportunity to read what it is for whaich the candidate is standing b) We DO need to have a no vote option on every ballot form. This provides the opportunity for a factual vote of those whom LIKE a candidate or party and enables a person to vote NOT to have any of those who have put their names forward. Feb 22

Local issues in Epsom and Ewell

We're collecting local issues in Epsom and Ewell. Some of these have been turned into questions to put to the candidates standing at the 2010 general election in the form of a questionnaire.

Issues are no longer being turned into questions, but we still want them! A good local issue will be about a problem of local relevance, possibly suggesting how something should have been/be done.

How well are your candidates doing at responding to our survey?

We've sent questionnaires to as many candidates as we can in Epsom and Ewell, but they've not all managed to reply.

Can you help encourage the ones who've not replied yet?

We'll be putting the results of the questionnaire online as soon as we have a few more replies. In the mean time, you can see a version of what we're sending to your candidates here.
