Well, there will be another local election in a few weeks in Cowley.

SaveTCP have demonstrated that an Indepenent candidate can draw out an extra 300 or so votes.

Just wonder what an Independence candidate could to with a similar level of intensive campaigning with the back-up of national media attention could do...

ABL?

Andrew of Oxford appears unaware of national petitions demanding more coverage of the Green Party by the seriously biased BBC. For years the BBC used the excuse that we had no Westminster MP to exclude us from political coverage. Now we have an MP and UKIP has none - and who gets more coverage in the media?

When voters know more about our policies more of them vote for us. At the last General Election Greens topped the poll on the web site 'Vote for policies'. In Oxford we came second overall way ahead of UKIP, despite minimal media coverage.

So on the whole you are absoluely satisfied with your coverage on Sky, ITV, independent radio, printed media other media outlets?

It's not all bad then.

(I only know about the Green's anti-monarchy stance through the reporting of your National Conference on the BBC, then read further about it in national press)."
