The party is confident of making significant advances at the 2012 local election, and will bring a distinctive agenda on public services, education and council tax. The candidates hope that the 2012 elections will be a vital moment where residents in Reading West will be able to vote for a positive agenda instead of failing plans of the centre- left agenda of the rest.
