Election Time Again!

So it is election time again and I was not expecting to have to do much more than a bit of canvassing and leafleting but how wrong I was!

Mum is standing again in this election and I have been given the job of Election Agent. I don't mind helping out at all but it has been pretty stressful because of the boundary changes and the late notice meaning that deadlines crept up pretty quickly.

I have just received my leaflets this morning so while most candidates have been canvassing already we will only be starting this weekend. For us that's not a great problem because we have a smaller area to cover as we are only covering the Catholic and Mixed areas of East Belfast as the DUP have the vote pretty much tied up over there.

I would like to see Naomi Long give Mr Robinson a run for his money this time round but I think he will probable retain his seat. I would like to see a build in the SDLP vote and we have meet a lot of new supporters this time than we had in previous elections so that is a hopeful sign.

Keep your fingers crossed for us!
