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 &#8211; and so am I, looking mainly after the print material.

And it is said even the Tories &#8211; having selected a very ambitious candidate &#8211; are going to have a real go at it.) <\/p>\n<p>It will be a lively campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Should you live in Camden or nearby areas, and be moved, say by news like today&#8217;s leaks of the <a href = \"http:\/\/observer.guardian.co.uk\/uk_news\/story\/0,,1934381,00.html\">Stern report<\/a> to do your bit for the climate, say by delivering a few leaflets &#8211; or going a little further by joining the <a href = \"http:\/\/www.greenparty.org.uk\/news\">Green Party<\/a> &#8211; please email.
