Mike Foster is standing for election as our next Member of Parliament on May 7th and is the only candidate offering a revolutionary alternative to the existing capitalist system.

He says “Capitalist Society leads to stress and alienation where people are struggling in poverty or debts while the economy advantages the very rich. The alternative is for the community to democratically manage it’s resources and environment – replace the capitalist system entirely with one where production is centred on meeting peoples needs and wants rather than generating profit for the owners of capital.”

Thanks to Sally for a picture of the Green Party Campaign Bus in Abingdon today.

I believe that is the 4th party bus to come to Abingdon during the campaign.

Tim sent me an image of the green party leaflet posted through his front door yesterday morning. Spot the error.

When I get petrol in the Vineyard there is a similar – but different – error.

About 4 weeks ago UKIP opened their Oxfordshire Campaign HQ in East St Helen Street, Abingdon-on-Thames. It was rumored that their charismatic leader, Nigel Farage, would be there for the opening, but another MEP (Member of European Parliament) did the honours.

I have been by the shop many times since.

There are 2 balloons, slowly deflating, out the back, but I have not seen any campaigning activity.
