Reflections on Elections
I'm sorry for the long gap since my last postcard. The last couple of months have been hectic - first the local County Council elections, then the General Election - and it has taken a while for me to gather my thoughts. Our County Council results were encouraging, even though we did not win any seats- we fielded more candidates than ever before, and won 2 second places in Stamford, where we gained nearly 18% of the vote. We also identified some parts of Grantham, Bourne and Spalding where notional candidates polled better than we had expected. So whilst it wasn't the breakthrough we had hoped for, our results have provided valuable information which will help us target resources better in future campaigns.
