I have been talked into doing the GOOD MORNING leaflets. Ugh. If there is another election is October I might be Cross.
I think you are right about Disability Benefits and how they ought to be a much much higher priority. I'm not very convinced that Labour would do substantially better than the Conservatives at implementing a Benefit system that actually worked (indeed Labour have been distancing themselves from the idea that they are the party "for" people on benefits). The Green policy seems much better, but has next-to-no chance of being implemented, plausibly worth a vote anyway, because the howls of protest might be heard even if the Greens don't get any seats.
Miscellaneous. Eclectic. Random. Perhaps markedly literate, or at least suffering from the compulsion to read any text that presents itself, including cereal boxes.

http://www.aboutmyvote.co.uk/register-to-vote/students says you can vote in both councils as does http://www.electoralcommission.org.uk/faq/voting-and-registration/i-have-two-homes.-can-i-register-to-vote-at-both-addresses which notes that you do need to actually *be resident* in both locations (which you actually are, but many people with second homes are not).
