zion Posted April 22, 2008 Share Posted April 22, 2008 Its coming! All 10 parties Regions divided into boroughs, i will use local council election results as the general guide to voting patterns. The tories had a fullscale open primary Labour selected their candidate internally (so i guess i could use caucuses) Lib Dems and Greens held internal Closed Primaries The rest, who cares! Candidates all sorted Issues to include 10p Tax Gordon Brown's Government Congestion Carge Crime Busses London Underground London Olympics 2012 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
