Hustings at St. Mary Magdale Church, Prudhoe

Tuesday evening: a well-attended church hustings in Prudhoe, with more than a few local residents standing at the back. The questions covered all the issues voters in the constituency are talking about - our views on nuclear power (I'm for as part of a balanced, mixed energy supply policy), the role of the third sector, churches, charities and other voluntary organisations (I'm for an increased role, but see them as working best alongside the state, not as a substitute), and proportional representation (I'm for the Alternative Vote system and against PR, but accept my views may have to change depending on next Thursday's election results). Thanks to the Rev. Charles Hope for organising this event.
