You might have noticed that I’ve been around a bit less here lately. There are a couple of reasons for that, both related to the Green Party. First, I’ve been co-opted on to its executive committee, looking after internal communications. Since it’s internal communications you probably won’t hear much about it here, but be assured, I’m beavering away behind the scenes.
And then there’s the by-election … in Kentish Town, Camden. Our female principal speaker, Sian Berry, who missed out on a seat there in May by only 157 votes, is running hard for the December 7 election – and so am I, looking mainly after the print material. (The by-election was called when the sole Labour person, elected in May, resigned. The Lib-Dems hold the two other seats. And it is said even the Tories – having selected a very ambitious candidate – are going to have a real go at it.)
It will be a lively campaign.
Should you live in Camden or nearby areas, and be moved, say by news like today’s leaks of the Stern report to do your bit for the climate, say by delivering a few leaflets – or going a little further by joining the Green Party – please email. (natalieben AT gmail DOT com ).
As our new slogan says: One World. One Chance.
And it is a chance that is slipping away fast.
