I
know Clare Fletcher, I like her. But she has damaged her credibility as a
political aspirant with this leaflet, which recently hit my doormat (in
Victoria ward).
Try
as they might, the Green Party in Southend has yet to win a seat, or even come
close. The Green record in Victoria is not that great, as this table shows.

When
Labour won in 2016 they got 55% of the vote, some 49% ahead of the Green Party.
This highlights just how ridiculous Clare claims are on this leaflet.
Clare
asserts that “only local Green Party campaigner Clare Fletcher can beat Labour
at this local election”. This preposterous claim is not backed up by any evidence.
This
leaflet is so silly that I am now wondering whether this is an ill-timed April
Fool’s joke.
