Reply To: Our Euroelection campaign
It was lively event. There was not quite enough time for opening statements (3 minutes), given that what we stand for is so unfamiliar to many people outside our milieu, but it was a good opportunity to get the basics of our message across. Unfortunately the bar was closed after the event and most people simply left the venue quickly afterwards, so it was hard to get contact details, but some people picked up our Euro elections flyer and I got some appreciative comments on my way out from several folks, including a politics teacher and his students – with promises to make contact.
As noted above by Dave, I’ll be doing another one of these in the New Forest on 21st May at Brockenhurst Village Hall, 7pm to 8.30pm. Most parties represented, although the Tories haven’t responded yet, it seems, and the Brexit Party won’t be there (the event, like Wednesday’s, is organised by a Remain-supporting group and the Brexit Party candidate was poorly received on the Isle of Wight). If you can, please come along and give me some socialist support 🙂
