I'm known for having a sometimes lengthy auto-reply to my email address, encouraging people to follow-up various links in order to make more informed choices about how we might relate.
NB The "Paul Crosland Hashtag" used to describe the importance of not mistaking one aspect of another for the whole is #CircumnambulateTheElephant
(My email address is advertised in election times here)
& here's the 2024 Election auto-reply in all it's ....:
“Trust those (in politics) who do most to get their opponents’ voices heard”
(#TTIPWDMTGTOVH)

Most correspondence received by this email address relates to my candidacy as prospective parliamentary candidate for Hastings & Rye:

If you voted in the constituency at the last general election -12th December 2019- regardless of whether you "Put A Cross For Crosland", thank you for subscribing to democracy. I presume we all agree that "We could do better?"
To everyone emailing if I stand for x or y, after the election in order to move forward on your agenda -or at least make it more visible- I intend to summarise the requests received in a Google Spreadsheet then embedded into the 2066.uk website (AKA additionalinfo.blogspot.com).
What helps greatly is if you indicate which government department you understand to be in charge of your issue of great concern.
Asking a mediator -approaching three decades of service- to take sides may only produce the reply from me:
“I’m on the side of everyone getting their needs met and how to achieve that nonviolently.”
Three Questions:
1) Why would you want an opinionated MP - when you could elect a facilitator #BeyondPolarisationInPolitics & #MoveForwardMoreTogether?
2) What do you make of this article that I wrote with a Centre For Peaceful Solutions colleague in the aftermath of the #HowlingHustings (5th December 2019); an article from me having been requested by the Hastings Independent Press, this one was rejected; reasons not given:

(I found that in September 2020 I wrote a follow-on piece that, to me, still has merit: https://additionalinfo.blogspot.com/2020/09/struggling-to-embody-kinder-politics.html)
3) Whether this YouTube film from Hastings Pier, accompanied by my electoral agent, Patrick Glass, might prompt you to joina #PaulCroslandZoom to contribute your #GrassrootsManifesto (4-10 points) towards the #ConvergentConstituencyManifesto?

Since you may well have mailed me to advance a particular policy agenda & since I am not standing as part of a political party, bear with me please whilst I share my thinking to date on how we form policy together.
Running until 24th July 2024 (& resuming before 2025) there are a series of 5.45pm Zoom conference video-calls; I'll be letting into the Zoom conference calls anyone who has sent a policy proposal, their name and their address (which I keep confidential). The page with the link is the calendar page of my blog; the teleconference archaically called "Alobhin Special Please attend to discuss not only the policy matter on which you initially emailed, but your own 4-10point "Grassroots Manifestoes"; what’s most important to you? Here I encourage people to dream big. The nuts and bolts of the Dream Cycle -a "Find Your Power" methodology by Chris Johnstone- are as simple as "Dream, Plan, Do, Review". It will be helpful if you identify which government department(S) would most likely be responsible for enacting the change(s) that you seek.
My work henceforth is to advocate for what you want & bring my (& my associates’) mediation skills to bear. If I had another windfall I would spend it on bringing people together towards establishing a ConvergentConstituencyManifesto and I wonder why social media isn’t used more in this way?

What does your #GeneralElection2024Soundtrack sound like?
I have put together a series of tracks that remind me of themes of the campaigns or as a form of decompression from this, at times, trying time.
From the following soundtrack (which includes political commentators, including myself and the man who was my oldest (ie going back to school days) friend, #ChrisGidlowAuthorAndHistorian; I say "was" because he has broken off all communication as a result of my standing again as an Independent Candidate. Recorded in Covid-19 days, the discussions in this playlist of note centre around a New Statesman article about Progressive Politics by Tony Blair & centre around Chris working through his 9 or 10 point Grassroots manifesto -the film listing his 10 points is just a minute and a half long; the film explaining his workings -22 minutes.

part of my answer to the housing question- as I stated in the 5thDecember2019 #HowlingHustings is #CommunityService of 5-7hrs a week for all home owners over 50.
