Download the manifestos

[ryanmorrison]

BBC Radio Jersey recorded every candidate reading their three minute 'message/manifesto'.

We've transcribed them all and put them online - but we've also made the audio available as an mp3 for download.

They're all available on this page
www.bbc.co.uk/jersey/content/articles/2008/09/16/vote08_senatorial_candidates_feature.shtml

But if you type downloads.bbc.co.uk/jersey/candidates/ followed by the last name of the candidate and .mp3 into your browser - that will download the one you want.

I've also thrown together a quick pdf of all the manifesto transcripts to make it easier to print.

Thanks Ryan. By the way, the link for this forum does not work on that page.

And after reading all the manifestos ( I almost did not make as far as Daniel's as the previous candidate sent me to sleep), I am in fact going to change my vote on our poll.

Eastrock - not sure why the link didn't work for you - it might be the redirect - for some reason our publishing system wouldn't let me put a direct link to this forum so I had to use a TinyURL redirect - which might be causing the problem.

I have managed to find away around this now and have included a direct link to the site - so should be working now.

It does now, thanks Ryan.

Bet you'll be glad when all this over?

[ryanmorrison]

Over? You mean there's an end in sight?

By the time the Senatorials are over work starts on the Deputies and then we have the selection of Chief Minister and Ministers by those elected in October and November - I'm hoping to have a day off sometime in January

Nah I love the elections - I'm going to be live blogging from the BBC Jersey Election studio on election night and that's always great fun - I have to admit to being a bit of a politics fan - I stay up all night watching the UK and US elections as well.
