List of candidates confirmed

The Nottingham Evening Post (NEP) website lists the candidates for all the local seats. The main shock is the number of seats that feature BNP candidates. Traditionally they have not had much of a profile in Nottingham but they have put candidates in all the Nottingham seats except for Nottingham East. Let's hope they get the drubbing they deserve.

The list for Nottingham East has another new face, a candidate for the Christian Party whose slogan from their google link is "Fighting to re-establish traditional family values and to end abortion". Oh great, we don't get the BNP but we get a party that wants to tell women what they can (or can't) do with their bodies, and tell us all what to think. Googling the candidate Parvaiz Sardar doesn't produce anything useful, but I don't think we are going to get on well when/if they turn up on the doorstep. Remember, Jesus loves you but everyone else thinks you're a...(fill in your own expletive).

The list for Nottingham East is (according to the NEP):

• Sam Boote, Liberal Democrats
• Benjamin Hoare, The Green Party
• Ewan Lamont, Conservative
• Chris Leslie, Labour
• Parvaiz Sardar, The Christian Party
• Pat Wolfe, UK Independence Party

On the leaflet front, we have a new one from the tory boy (and a very glossy origami contraption it is too) through the door with the pizza and kebab flyers, but nothing yet from the others to add to the Lib-Dem yellow sheet of A4. Maybe now we know who is standing, they will start trying to get us to vote for them.
