    Do you think voters in Hesters Way and Springbank etc know anything much about Green Party policies. I would think from experience people in the ward where I am a councillor, not in Cheltenham, see the Green Party as cuddly save our planet people.

    For instance they are campaigning to stop an incinerator, which is probably a popular view if planned to be sited near to you!

    Is there a reason why the Tory PPC didn’t try for 3rd time lucky in Hastings or didn’t they want him?

    Shouldn’t the name of the Green candidate be removed from the list of people standing in Cheltenham in 2010?

    Not least becaue the Green Party spokesman in Cheltneham has stated to the press recently that they will not be standing a candidate this time round
