General Discussion
@Lynne Then why haven't Newton Abbot Primary https://www.newtonabbotprimary.org/about who base tactical voting on two websites Stop the Tories https://stopthetories.vote/ and Best for Britain https://www.bestforbritain.org/ got behind Wrigley and the Lib dems if it's so clear cut? Stop the Tories' poll puts Labour ahead of the Lib dems; https://stopthetories.vote/parl/newton-abbot ...
@Lynne yes they could. Disillusionment with mainstream politics is occurring all over the Western world, just look what has happened in Europe, Macron's snap election following the Marine Le Pen's victory in the Euros, etc. Reform UK and UKIP before it were formed to take on the Tories and attract Tory voters. The Tory party knows this, they fear Reform UK standing more than Labour. Maybe you ...
I think Reform UK could do as well as they did in 2015 or better, because the Tories being seen as not delivering in the aftermath of Brexit by many who would've voted Tory in 2017 and 2019 when Reform UK, formerly UKIP stood aside where the Tories were likely to win, the return of Farage who is a Boris Johnson type character and the policy of austerity are all factors that could have an impact. ...
@burnside There's a lack of political discussion on his FB page, as you've found anyone who disagrees with or question him and his party is blocked. He only allows comments from supportive voices. He doesn't comprehend the concept of accountability. It's the same in Teignbridge District Council where opposition voices are not given the floor to debate motions and in the case of Richard Daws ...
@1263 In the case of the Lib Dems it seems like Wrigley is on a mission. He is posting the same photos of the same Lib Dem posters several times on his social media, just cropped/zoomed in and from different angles. Supposedly to give the impression of there being more signs than there are and the Lib Dems 'Winning Here' (as their signs say) and as a desparate attempt to offset the damage to his ...
I repeat; The signs I've seen are actually on properties belonging to Lib Dem Cllrs. Oh aside from a local landowner. I can see why landowners would gladly support the Lib Dems given the increase in land value, what with all the national housing developers being given free rein to build so many unaffordable houses on green belt by Wrigley's Lib Dem run District Council. Just look at Rewe's ...
@1263 Wrigley and his loyal Lib Dem cronies have been going around doorsteps in the Dawlish area and also Newton Abbot and Kingsteignton wards. Anne-Marie Morris rocked up one afternoon too. Wrigley now sees obsessed with getting as many signs up and taking as many unflattering selfies as he can to whack on his social media. The signs I've seen are actually on properties belonging to Lib Dem ...
@Paul you're welcome. Well I know Lib Dem Wrigley has come in for some short shrift on people's doorsteps. I hear he's actually got into arguments with people because they don't want to hear what he has to say (because they justifiably don't trust him or his party), to the point where one homeowner felt pretty uncomfortable and that's putting it lightly. Charming if you're with them, then ...
@Daverc you're welcome. Just posted about the South Devon Alliance candidate Liam Mullone. Are people aware of all the candidates who are standing or what they stand for? I'd hope people do their research and not fall for the shamless 'flirting' we're subject to from the likes of Wrigley and Morris every 5 years - 'political whoring' might be more apt.
Liam Mullone You candidate for MP - Newton Abbot Constituancy Nothing will change if you vote for a politician - So DON'T I’m Liam Mullone. I’m a neuro-divergent married dad of three and I’ve been a gravedigger, a bin man, a journalist on the Times newspaper, a motor trader and a stand-up comedian. In 2018 I founded Newton Says No to fight overdevelopment, and later this became the ...
