The English Democrats appear to be picking up a lot of support, in both the town and in the rural areas. And I believe they are standing in 8 of the wards up for re-election in 2010. It will be interesting to see how this party develop’s in the area.
Steve Whiffen is standing here for the Green Party.

There is a stand out candidate here, and that is Chris Heaton Harris. I have known Chris for a number of years, and he will do an excellent job for the people of Daventry
I’m now on an expedition to find the least Commented on seat. Only 39 in Daventry.. anyone know of any less?

The second-placed party could only manage 19.4%, a surprisingly low figure.
