It's about politics in Medway
It is said that elections are won on the doorstep, and that may well be true. Being armchair activists, it’s difficult to check up on that.

We, along with the intrepid Medway Elects, attempt to keep you informed and up to date despite the best efforts of some local parties.
One of our popular features on The Political Medway is inFrequently Answered Questions, where we’d send off questions to relevant political figures and hope that we might occasionally get a reply.
