The 2015 election is likely to be one of the most closely contested in recent history. The stakes are high and the choices are clear. What type of society do you want to live in? Is austerity an unavoidable reality? What does \u2018localism\u2019 mean in practice? What should be the key priorities for Canterbury and Whitstable in the next five years? How should you vote in the ballot box? These and many other key questions will be addressed in this important event.<\/p>\n<p><strong>When? 23 January 2015 &#8211; 6.30 for a 7pm start<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Where? &#8211; <a href=\"http:\/\/www.canterbury.ac.uk\/about-us\/find-us\/canterbury.aspx\">Old Sessions House (Og32), Canterbury Christ Church University, Longport, Canterbury<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>All Welcome<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>James Flanagan &#8211;\u00a0Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Canterbury and Whitstable &#8211;\u00a0General Election, 2015<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":161081,"featured_media":13,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[365,381,997,1401],"class_list":["post-1144","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-events","tag-canterbury","tag-canterbury-politics","tag-general-election","tag-liberal-democrats"],"acf":[],"aioseo_notices":[],"authorName":"Anna Vanaga","featuredImage":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/politics\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/645\/2018\/08\/blogs-holding680x453.jpg","postExcerpt":"James Flanagan &#8211;\u00a0Liberal Democrat Parliamentary Candidate for Canterbury and Whitstable &#8211;\u00a0General Election, 2015","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/politics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1144","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/politics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/politics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/politics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/161081"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/politics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1144"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/politics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1144\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":4358,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/politics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1144\/revisions\/4358"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/politics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/13"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/politics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1144"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/politics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1144"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.canterbury.ac.uk\/politics\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1144"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
