Reply To: Our Euroelection campaign

Two developments today.

The government has confirmed that the elections are definitely going ahead. Which is good news and bad news fo us. The bad news is that we won’t get our £5,000 election deposit back unless we get at least 2% of the votes cast (not just in Folkestone but across the whole region). The good news is that we now know that any money we spend on printing leaflets for free postal distribution is not going to be wasted with us ending up 315,000 dated leaflets to distribute.

The other development is that Royal Mail have approved the artwork for these leaflets which has been sent for printing. They are going to be distributed in 6 selected Westminster constituencies:

Brighton Pavilion, Oxford East, Canterbury, Dover, Folkestone & Hythe,  and Maidstone & the Weald.
