Has Any One Ever Run For Local Council??

Question

My local environmental group has asked me to run as one of their candidates in local council elections. Has anyone got any tips?

I do not really want to get elected so I have asked to be placed way down low on the ticket. But I wish to help the 1 & 2 candidiates (who have a real chance) to campaign. What is effective and how can we get media interested in a minor party and a minor election??

Answer 1

well if you're speaking  of a small town local council...the ederly are the main supporters of all things local....try your local community homes they sometimes have voting support groups that you can speak with and try to win over

Answer 2

House to house visit is the best method to campaign for council members.

Answer 3

Last time I ran for anything was a school sports day 1966...lol

Door to door...and instead of telling people what you want to do...make a big play of asking them what they would like you to do for them...

Remember my knighthood if you ever make it to number 10....lol
