Rob Shepherd is a new independent candidate standing for Castle ward, Lewes District Council on May 3, 2007

Is it worth voting for me?

Resoundingly: yes. I am electable. The independent Ruth O’Keeffe did very well in her ward 2003! And she wasn't the only one. In 2003, 50% of the independents who stood were elected.

If you're a voter in Castle ward, you have two votes for District Councillors. And I'm only asking you to give one to me: the other you can use to support your “traditional” political party or whoever you like.

And based on the voting records of 2003, if just 8% of all eligible votes in Castle ward used just one of their votes for me, I'd be elected.
