B7 MANIFESTO FOR MAYOR OF LONDON 2008, THE ONLY PRO CHOICE SMOKING CANDIDATE

Personal statement

No Choice no Vote campaign is aimed at denying the Labour party votes for introducing the Smoking Ban.

The message is for people to exercise their democratic right never to vote for Labour in any capacity until freedom of choice is restored.

There was no total smoking ban in Labours manifesto, choice was included Labour have taken it away. The same as the referendum that was promised on the EU Treaty.

The mayoral election is the first target, there are approximately 1.5 million smokers in London, this will followed by a national campaign to engage 14 million Uk Smokers and their supporters to deny Labour a vote.

Other similar campaigns under the Cant Smoke Wont Vote are already gathering support across the UK.

To dispel the myth of second hand smoke, factual information is freely available on
sites such as www.freedom2choose.info.

Campaign material will be delivered to all London postcodes before May 1st 2008.
