Australian Cyclists Party

[classic33]

What are our policies going to be? We can't agree on anything round here. If we win and form the next government we'll spend so much time scrapping over helmets and headphones that nowt'll get done!

Helmets are left to personal choice. Head phones should be viewed in much the same way as mobile phone use for drivers.

I am a foreign national, cannot stand for elections, heck, can't even vote at the nationals!
Could be PR? Press office?

Have you checked if your name is actually on the register:

Isn't Italy an EU Member State?

@classic33 : I said the national election, I know I can vote at the locals.
Will the cycling party need an MP and an MSP?

Why can't we have both. After all this is a new party isn't it. ?

Start at the local elections, no deposits required by those standing. We'd be able to cover a larger area at a local level. Registration is also slightly easier, for Local as opposed to National Elections. Unless you want to stand for MSP?

We can make drivers pay. After all they're always complaining that cyclists Dot pay they're way.

Cannae!!! Told you I am a foreigner!
Anyhow, want to do press and pr

At local level, you are able to keep your expenses to a minimum. If all paperwork is more or less the the same, across the country, then the only variations required would be for the person standing. This could be done with a smaller flyer describing the local candidate.

At the Local Elections I have managed to cover the ward, one of the largest in the area, for £100 - £120. Having done all my own printing. That money can be claimed back, out of principle I've never reclaimed a penny.

You can do Press & PR, but you realise your allowed to stand at local level.
That would be one post filled.
Anyone know about large scale T-Shirt printing costs & where the best deals could be got from?

So you really want to be an MSP & see the local elections as your first step on the way there?

Can you just use one to listen to the satnav?

 

[welsh dragon]

I don't know anything about printing t shirts.

They don't even pay bike tax!
