Bristol Elections

Mixed night for Greens in Bristol- disappointment in Ashley, where a big personal vote forLib Dem Jon Rogers kept us out, but a massive increase in Easton where we went up from 560 to 938 votes, now just 352 behind the Lib Dems!
Very hopeful for the Euro elections, we shall see!

Then Alexi Sayle emailed our fantastic North West Euro candidate Peter Craine with the following:

"One of the great things about Britain is that, unlike in a lot of Europe, we have never let extremist parties of the right get anything but a tiny toehold in our electoral system. I'll personally be voting Green this time but whoever you support you should use your vote to continue our noble tradition and keep the BNP out."
