Hi Louisiana, The Kennington meeting took place at the exact same time as the event I had been advertising on the forum, so couldn't make it. I'm very happy to attend any future ones, but I am not sure if politicians are welcome as we'll obviously be promoting ourselves! I think democracyclub is a great idea. I've read through the project website, and will happily provide any examples of leaflets and literature that they want.

Hello everyone, I've noticed this and other threads discussing local political candidates and odds at the next general election. I know most people on here and that I meet out on the doorstep think their vote will make no difference to the outcome and all the parties are the same. This is certainly not the case for East Dulwich ward, which is in the Dulwich and West Norwood constituency. According to Electoral Calculus, we are not a safe seat and every vote will make a difference. Take a look http://www.electoralcalculus.co.uk/conlist_c_e.html#DulwichandWestNorwood Another frequent problem is that due to the boundary changes, many people aren?t sure what constituency they fall into. You can find out which ward you live in by putting your postcode in http://www.writetothem.com. The only Southwark wards in the D&WN constituency are College, Village and East Dulwich I really do feel that it?s important voters know more about their local candidates, from all parties, and not just the party leaders. They?re the ones that can make the most difference in our area (I live here too). Rather than use the eastdulwichforum for electioneering in support for any party, I'd like to meet as many people with doubts and reservations in person. I?ve been holding a number of events around the constituency where people can ask all the tough questions about me, what I've been doing locally and what I would do differently if I were the MP. The event for East Dulwich is tonight (25 Feb) at the Constitutional Club. It?s advertised on the events page here http://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/forum/read.php?6,423135. Everyone is welcome to attend but it will be most useful to anyone who is genuinely undecided about who to vote for at the next general election. Thank you and I look forward to meeting many of you over the next few weeks. Kemi Adegoke Conservative Parliamentary Candidate Dulwich & West Norwood www.dwnconservatives.com www.kemi.adegoke.com
