What a...

Nobb - Simon Nobb called my yesterday (Apologies for the pun!). He's the Lib Dem candidate for Mile Cross and seemed a nice enough guy. Obviously trying to get in the last few votes on the campaign trail but seemed a little too unsure for Maltheus to be honest. He didn't quite seem confortable in talking at the doorstep. He wanted to make Mile Cross a better place but admitted that every party would offer that anyway. Like Maltheus says, nice guy but didn't speak councillor to me. However, being the only candidate to knock on Maltheus wishes him luck for his effort.

Bumped into a ex Tory campaigner in the Sportspark today as well and he told Maltheus that he gave up campaiging with the Conservatives because they were becoming too right wing for him. He supported Cameron but Norwich Tories were going in the wrong direction. Better hunt him down Tories!

Talking about the candidate not being too confident, maybe it doesn't matter all that much if they work bloody hard for their constiuents anyway. So Maltheus opens it out to all, what three traits are essential for a good councillor?

Maltheus says:

- Integrity
- A good orator
- Show empathy

Whats yours...?
