Christian Movement for a Clearer Britain? Jesus! Where in earth did they pop up from?
Never even heard of them. Are they a new party?
Well as long as they can feed five thousand people from scraps of food and bring City back from the dead they have my vote!Good question. Seems like an evangelical sort of thing following divine command theory.

Also be interested in comments on why you would, or would not, vote for a particular political party.

Conservative as always. For one simple reason. Forget big politics if you want your local council run efficiently, good value for money and your council tax as low as possible vote conservative. You only have to look at what a disaster CCC and Birmingham council are to see that's true.

By pure coincidence the councils that have seen the smallest budget cuts are those where there are tory MPs.
Do conservative councils manage their budget as well as Osbourne? He has five times the normal number of advisors yet has managed to miss every single one of his targets. That would be bad enough but it gets worse. The person who sets the targets is George Osbourne!

Will be voting TUSC on Thursday, Labour will likely get my vote nationally but their running of the city has brought shame upon it and the Greater Birmingham fiasco does not endear me to Cllr Lucas one bit. At least in this election I don't have to contend with the fecking SNP.
Anyone but labour, Lucas and her idiots have ruled this city for too long. This will sadly never change though

Since the first election to the council in 1973 political control of the council has been held by the following parties
I would follow you Brighton but I believe voting TUSC, or indeed UKIP, will take Labour votes and let the Tories in .... certainly feel TUSC would take a big chunk from Labour in the PCC elections as union members will vote for them. Political commentators in the last general were saying how much UKIP would gain from anti-euro tories...in fact, they caused perhaps a bigger dent in the Labour vote.

Coventry must be the most apathetic place in Britain. Ridiculous turnout.
As for council efficiency, don't kid yourself that the party in charge of the council makes any difference. Only yesterday voters were turned away from Tory Barnet Council polling stations as the council staff had "forgotten to send the ballot forms".
We didn't have a local election in LE10 yesterday but the council is Tory. Before that Liberal. One thing I did read in our local rag yesterday is that our council are considering charging people £40 per car per year to park on the roads outside of your house ! Is that not absolutely preposterous ? Apparently they already do this in parts of Loughborough and other areas.
I live in Walsgrave not far from the hospital and they introduced a residents parking scheme as a lot (and i mean a LOT) of staff from the hospital were parking on the estate and blocking roads etc. It is free initially but likelyhood is that we'll be paying for permits in a couple more years.
That's shockingMy wife works at UHCW and pays for a parking space in the staff car park..................It's just gone up to nearly £500 per year............to park at work ?? Is that fair, no wonder staff are trying to get round it in the locality ?
That's shocking
Should pretend to be a gypsy and get it free

I wasn'nt having a moan about the parking, more about the fact taht we'll be paying for parking our own cars. It is no wonder people try and get round paying for car parking, but, then I see the flip side of Buses, Lorries and even emergency vehicles not being able to drive round roads due to some dimwits blocking them with bad/lazy parking. Couple it with people being blocked into their own driveways as inconsiderate people park across them and you see why they introduced it. As I drive past the hospital entrance every day I see car after car with only 1 driver in it or a half empty bus. Surely a common sense approach is to use public transport or car share to reduce the congestion and cost.
They should have built a multi storey car park from the start and made it reasonable. The idiotic Labour council at the time deemed that everyone should use public transport to get to the hospital but if you take a look at the addresses of the staff many are driving in for 10-15 miles or so and can't get public transport and patients and visitors feeling either ill or traumatised don't want to sit on a bus either.
Labour in again. The electorate has spoken. Clearly must be on board with the part they have had to play in the last 10 years at CCFC then.
