This was in 1970 (I think) when I stood for the Council elections in Halifax as an Independent Labour Party (ILP) candidate. As far as I know, no copy of the election phot survives, but I seem to remember a clenched fist salute on the hills overlooking the town.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-73780640009112698402007-01-22T09:52:00.000+00:002007-01-22T09:52:00.000+00:00By 1974, the "marcoms" pariahs had clearly failed ...By 1974, the "marcoms" pariahs had clearly failed to infiltrate the Labour Party to a depth that would ensure such leaflets would never see the light of day and strike primal fear into the hearts and minds of a bemused electorate.<br /><br />However, a systematic analysis of the most suitable pose for such candidates over say the last century, might make an interesting addition to the coffee table book library.

Many others apart from your good self spring to mind.dvdhrnbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15718432580363926989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-51151761052509920162007-01-20T22:22:00.000+00:002007-01-20T22:22:00.000+00:00I must point out, that was "kite flying" in a poli...I must point out, that was "kite flying" in a political sense. It was the 1970s equivalent of Hillery Clinton's announcement today of "opening up a dialogue with the American people" I felt that it was essential that anyone seeking election should engage in an on-going process of idea formulation and innovative policy development.Alan Burnetthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01015127443616786425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37291817.post-33159934629230732042007-01-20T16:56:00.000+00:002007-01-20T16:56:00.000+00:00And I seem to remember that you spent Polling Day ...And I seem to remember that you spent Polling Day flying a kite on Wimbledon Common, instead of going round in a van with a loudspeaker.Jane Gordon-Cumminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08908646930735620458noreply@blogger.com
