The following was issued today:
The EDA people realise it’s pretty tough being an Independent. Standing outside party ranks around here leaves them vulnerable to some below-the-belt stuff where they live, and they also have a limited ability to explain who and what they are beyond just local knowledge. There is no party slush find to pay for double-sided A3 colour leaflets.
That is why the East Devon Alliance announced this morning that they are launching just such an umbrella organisation to help Independent candidates to be heard. And to comply with electoral law they have begun the process of registering as a party at the Electoral Commission – which sadly is obligatory still.
All Independent candidates (if they wish to work with us) will be able to show voters via a new website, launched today, what they really hope to do, including:
1. a shared list of Issues and Aims for all those standing as East Devon Alliance independent candidates
2. a personal page to explain why they are standing in their ward
3. a video interview to introduce themselves less formally
4. a fully researched page explaining the problems and opportunities in their ward
