This year there are county council elections in England, on Thursday 1 May.
County councils run certain services in the historic counties outside any large cities there. Some of these elections have been suspended while the Labour government introduces the undemocratic mayor-system instead.
We are contesting 2 seats for Kent CC, in Folkestone as on previous occasions, and 1 for Gloucestershire CC, in Stroud for the first time.
There is also a council by-election taking place in London, in Lambeth, the same day.
The nomination papers of our 4 candidates have all been handed in and accepted. We won’t know exactly who are opponents are till after nominations close on Wednesday. But we do know already that in Stroud one of them will be TUSC, the reformist outfit masquerading as socialist.
Here is the official list of candidates standing in Stroud Central of Gloucestershire County Council. As can be seen, we are up against the usual suspects plus TUSC.
