00:00Lee, how are you feeling?

00:01I'm feeling okay, getting there, second wind's coming now, so nearly there aren't we?

00:07And how do you think you've done?

00:09I think I've done a little bit better than expected, I think I've been watching the piles

00:14piling up, not as big as some of the other parties but more than we'd expected, so yeah

00:20it's looking good I think.

00:22And what sort of percentage are you hoping for?

00:26We need 5% so anything in that area is good, as long as we get the deposit back I think

00:34it'll be alright.

00:37And how do you think the Greens have done as a whole across North Northance?

00:44I don't know, I think Emily's done alright, I'm not sure about Paul in Wellingborough

00:48and Rushton because I've not checked in on him but yeah I think the fact that we've got

00:54candidates standing in every seat in Northamptonshire which is the first time we've ever done that

00:58and I know across East Midlands and pretty much most of the country as well is a good

01:03thing, so I think just having the names on the paper is a good start isn't it, I believe.

01:11And what do you think, do you think the voters have come out for you?

01:19Yeah I think so yeah, I think people are, I think people are a bit disillusioned with

01:24the two top parties aren't they, so they're out, I mean even the reform votes are stacking

01:27up as well so it's quite a fairly even spread I think of people that are voting different

01:35ways than what they would normally vote.

01:38And do you think when the results are in, the top party, whoever that may be, will have

01:43to look at the votes that you've received and go, you know, that's...

01:46I think they'll have to, I think they'll have to take up and sit up and take a listen to

01:50what other parties are saying because if they don't, you know, it's going to be a rout

01:55next time round isn't it, I think a lot of the smaller parties are only going to grow

01:59from this and it's up to the bigger parties to start listening and taking things on board.
