Progress

Another good day canvassing yesterday - there's a really positive feeling on the doorstep that Islington will have its first Green councillor on May the 5th.

There are more Green posters up in Highbury West than all the other parties combined and more are going up every day. I keep coming across LibDem voters who are planning to vote Green tactically because they recognise that the LibDems have no chance in Highbury West. But what is surprising is the reaction of the "Corbyn Greens".

This is our name for the group of ex-Labour voters who vote Green at every election, except the General Election. However, this time a significant number are telling us that however much they respect Jeremy Corbyn, they can't bring themselves to put their cross next to any Labour candidate this time and they'll be voting Green in both the General Election and the by-election.

It looks like we may be on track for our best ever General Election result as well as our first councillor on May the 5th.
