Council Election Candidates

[John S]

Used to be a time that hustings meetings for elections could draw hundreds out to hear candidates, hasn't been one here in years, would love the opportunity to debate issues with other candidates. Anyone want to host a hustings meeting? Kintyre forum perhaps?

I think hustings are an absolute must. How can you vote properly without hearing the issues and answers?

Could even bring some life back to the local voters!

I would be interested in a Hustings too, as an Independent candidate.

A hustings sounds good to me.

For Argyll is looking for email and phone numbers for candidates so the electors can contact them.

Think there used to be hustings held locally?

Yes, the Victoria Hall was always packed to capacity for it, as it was for political party meetings at general elections. I took part in the council hustings myself in 1970 (Campbeltown Town Council then, of course!).

I remember being taken to hustings in Southend Village Hall, as a child. The place was packed, and it was a pretty lively event with healthy, respectful discussion.

Be good if they could get this going again.....
