Today I met.... Martin Bell

I was at the Jury Team HQ today to get a better idea of how to campaign and meet people from other regions.

There is a lot of activity going on there and its very much appreciated. I'm confident that the team, lead by Sir Paul Judge, are really putting in a lot of effort to try to raise awareness of the Jury Team and demonstrating that we are a credible alternative to the main parties.

One of the highlights of the day was meeting Martin Bell - the guy who stood as an anti-sleaze campaigner against the Neil Hamilton and spectacularly won! He expressed his support for the ideals of the Jury Team - giving more independently minded people a chance to get elected and therefore improve the political system.

I'll add a photo that was taken of me with him when I get it!

It was interesting to note in a web chat that Sir Paul took part in today that 45% of people who were polled (see the graph at 12:51 in the chat log) would be more likely to vote for an anti-sleaze party due to the expenses scandal!

Members of the Jury Team, who all signed up to good governance, transparency and honesty, would more than serve that role!
