I went through the nomination papers at Brent Town Hall a little while ago. It is interesting to note that in some cases, the candidates themselves will not be voting in the Brent Council Elections. That includes one Liberal democrat in Alperton, who does not live in the Borough (although I am sure he will be described as a "local" campaigner according to the Sarah Teather election template), a number of Tories who don't live here, and a surprising number of Greens who live here but have not claimed to be registered to vote on their nomination forms.
It is surely a bit rich to ask for someone's elses vote when you don't vote yourself.
