email me and I will tell you how I voted.


I vote for a person. When I was deselected I couldn't bring
myself to vote for my party's choice of my replacement, based
on comparing known histories of him and the other candidates.
I voted for somebody else who from knowning their work in the
community over the previous years I felt would be a better
replacement for me than him.


Didn't work, he got elected anyway, then a few of weeks
later promptly defected over to the other party anyway.


JGH
I voted to get rid of Gordon Brown.
And hopefully Labour.
The only party to say all the right things and then do all the wrong
things.


The Tories don't? Gimme a break. They're all as bad as each other. It
matters not who is in power, we're gonna get screwed, guaranteed.


Isn't the point that, in his view, the Tories don't even manage to say
all the right things?


Well at least we've had an opportunity to se a coalition in action

we come up with a crap idea on House of Lords reform, but which
guarantees our ongoing influence, which rightly gets rejected, so we
will stop an independent boundary commission review from being
implemented, not on any principle or that it is wrong, just tit for tat.
You said you wouldn't enter into a coalition with us if Gordon Brown
remained our leader, so now we say we won't enter into coalition with
you if Nick Clegg remains as your leader. Tit for tat.
Well in that case we won't talk to you if Ed Balls is Chancellor.

Trouble is I'm not sure now which is the tit and which the tat.
I just hope one party gets a clear majority, and if *it's not mine then
let it be the other one.

God save us from socialists.
The party that borrowed money to pay the idle so they would vote for
them.
