I recently moved to Forest Hill. I like it here but know nothing of the politics in the area or what the various candidates stand for. I'm researching online and have a twitter feed but am a bit frustrated as there isnt a great deal being said. I have sent messages to the candidates too and none of them have bothered responding.

Aside from the manifestos which are all about the bigger picture, can anyone point me in the right direction of what the candidates are saying aside from sound bites designed to gather votes; rather than actually demonstrate willingness to do something valuable for the community.

I am particularly unimpressed with the Green Candidate which is a shame because I'd really like to vote Green, but living anywhere other than Brighton I think it's a wasted vote.

The UKIP and Liberty candidates are really disgusting. It does seem like Labour is the only vote, but I just don't know!!!!

Thoughts? I'm thinking of going to the next hustings and will no doubt ask them questions there as they're all too ignorant to respond to emails etc.
