Getting the local politics

With an election today I thought it worth reviewing exactly how I receive my political bits and bobs. The vast majority of stuff comes via RSS feeds which I view using Google Reader. How do the main parties add up in this regard locally? In alphabetical order:

Wyre Forest Conservatives - News feed, but titles itself as "News".
Wyre Forest Green Party - Blog feed.
Independent Community and Health Concern - No feeds at all so I only see their stuff if I visit the site.
Wyre Forest Labour - Blog feed; as well as ward blog feeds though the latter aren't well advertised on the main site.
Wyre Forest Liberal Democrats -  No feeds at all again I only see their stuff if I visit the site.
Wyre Forest Liberals - Blog feed, but titles itself as "Blog"

The winner in terms of getting their story in front of my eyes electronically - Labour well in the lead with not only all the blog feeds but twitter feeds too.
