Since everyone else is having fun watching the US midterms and blogging about them, I thought I'd add my tuppence worth.

I am supporting Bernie Sanders for the Senate for Vermont.

Bernie pretty well started the Community Land Trust movement in the US many years ago when he was the socialist mayor of Burlington. Since then he's been the state's only congressman for fourteen years (it's so small - only the population of Oxfordshire - that they only get one). So he's a pretty sure fire bet. No Dems run against him and the Republican's a sure fire loser.

His brother, Larry, is a Green party county councillor in Oxfordshire and a member of our board at Oxfordshire Community Land Trusts.

It's the safest money you can put on tonight I'm sure...:)
