Following the success of the last few local election videos, I’ve been asked many times if i’d do them for the upcoming general election and so here we go!
In an attempt to avoid “Eastleigh Borough boundary” confusion, we’ll look to run two videos - one for Eastleigh, and one for Hamble Valley. If you’re not sure where you fall, you can search your postcode at https://hustings.eastleigh.online/, which should clarify things.
Can you help? We’re looking for 5-8 clear questions that are non-targeted and can be asked fairly to all candidates. This is a great chance to address the issues that matter most to us.
You can share your questions in the comments below, send us a PM, or email us at [email protected]
Prad Bains, Lib Dem (accepted - but later declined due to time pressures)
Caroline Gladwin, Reform (no response)
Binka Griffin, Hampshire Independents (accepted)
Paul Holmes, Conserative (accepted)
Kate Needham, Green (accepted)
Devina Paul, Labour (accepted)
Timetable:
6th June - questions should be finalised.
7th June - formal candidate submission deadline.
9th June - candidates must let us know if they intend to take part.
14th June - final deadline for answer uploads.
Next up we’re asking for questions you’d like to see candidates answer, feel free to send these to us via PM, comments here, or email [email protected]
The event is now closed as of this morning and I’m working on getting the videos ready for release.
Eastleigh was attended by all 6 candidates.
Hamble Valley was attended by 4 out of 6 candidates. (Prad initially accepted, but later declined due to time pressures).
Oops forgot to post the video links, for completeness here are the final links. If you’re not sure which is the video for you, use the postcode search on the website.
