Brent Council Election Candidates 2018

As I remarked a few days ago, the current round of local elections in Brent is an extremely low key affair.  The Council have now published the candidates. 

The Tory Party

Aside from Labour, the Tory Party are the only Party with a full line up although I suspect many of these are token candidates.

The Liberal Democrats

The Liberal Democrats have failed to fill every place this time, a sign of their drastic weakening since Sarah Teather's high tide.

The Green Party

The Green Party have listed their full line up on their own site.  Unlike previous years it does not include every ward.  This year they have at least been honest enough to describe their three candidates in Willesden as "Green" rather than "independent".  They are also fielding three in Mapesbury and Queens Park.  Elsewhere there seems to be a token presence.

This time round veteran Green Shahrar Ali appears to be missing.

Others

The main other Party is Polish Pride (Duma Polska) in Dollis Hill and Dudden Hill.  I doubt whether the are enough Polish voters there to allow them to win a seat.  Cllr John Duffy has opted to stand against his former Labour colleagues in Kilburn.   There is also a UKIP candidate in Kensal Green.
