Yorkshire Evening Post website....Wasnt an election announced today?

The Yorkshire Evening Post website has got off to an awful start as far as the Election 2010 is concerned.

There was NO coverage of any kind published on the site today - on the day the election was announced. In fact the only political link prominently available was to Mark Hookhams Westminster blog and remarkably this hadnt been updated since 22nd January 2010.

What the heck is going on?

Where do people turn to locally for political news and views that matters? Not the YEP that is for sure

Get your act together people and try devoting some decent time and resources to the biggest news event of the year, if not the next 5 years.

Still at least they managed to provide a superb piece on the Gawthorpe Coal Carrying World Championships.......!

2010 General Election: Let the games commence...!

This blog is dedicated to providing regular news and updates on the 2010 General Election here in Leeds West Yorkshire.

Our team of bloggers have no allegiances, no persuasions of any kind - just a healthy interest in who is running our country.

We will be focusing our attentions on Leeds UK where a mish mash of political persuasions and a diverse population will ensure an exciting, vibrant race from start to finish.

We will look at the election stories and news releases as they develop locally and shall provide opinions and reviews from all the key candidates within the city.

Hold on to your hats... it really is going to be an exciting few weeks.
