Help Hodges 2008

One of the main planks of our campaign for Mayor is to fight the shockingly undemocratic nature of the process. To qualify for the actual election not only do you need to find £10,000 but a candidate is also required to find ten signatures from registered voters in each of the London boroughs and the City of London. Fair for everyone? No, because if you are a registered political party you have access to the electoral rolls, effectively handing you the information on a plate. If you are an independent candidate you don’t get to see the electoral rolls and have to do it yourself. So I must be off, I’m walking round Haringey with pen and paper tonight. In fact, that’s me knocking at the door.
