Jury Team

Anger was *my* immediate reaction. Okay, not proper full-on anger, but I was cross. There seemed to be a genuine groundswell in John's favour, yet it evaporated at the moment the cross went in the box on the ballot. Wouldn't that make you cross as ...

I'm not sure anger is the right emotion to rouse the electorate either. Nor righteous indignation. In Glasgow, two thirds of voters failed to show. I think we need to inspire people to vote, to give them something that makes them want to go down to ...

When we agreed to back John Smeaton in his campaign to win the Glasgow North East by-election, we inherited a tv documentary crew who were filming John for the BBC.  Believing firmly in transparent politics as we do, we happily allowed the film ...

Okay, so John Smeaton got just over 1% of the vote. The question now is how does JT propose to make the electorate of the UK see independent candidates as worthy of their votes, over the entrenched and discredited main parties? It seems to be ...

The day after the hustings, John and I canvassed the blocks in Sighthill and, I'm pleased to say, he recieved a warm welcome. One resident had attended the hustings and had spoken, her son was serving in the forces. We hesitated to keep her for ...

Glasgow City Council have banned any Election materials being put on lamp posts or any other property belonging to the council.   This is seemingly being done for environmental reasons.  Seems more like  the Labour ...
