thank you @leatash , guessing you didn't tell him to put it in recycling did you?
Empty promises mainly and UKIP was what you'd expect, hardly worth going but I thought the Labour candidate did well, even though I'm not sure where she sits on the Corbynite/Blairite spectrum. Still she's the best of a bad bunch for me. But I would write that wouldn't I.
No he didn't i wrote that. hahaha as if @Gary Taylor would write that!!! And yes it does apply to all politicians I share your opinion, it is because they have sociopathiic tendencies. I'm not even sure if some begin with good intentions, because egotism is a common trait if you study their psychological profiles. Some are career politicians from the beginning and I once listened ...
@roberta , that's fine, if you want hard brexit you have the choice of the tories or ukip. i agree with you about the local elections.
@Gary Taylor you mention a close fought contest between tories and lib dems in 2010. that was before the disastrous coalition. In 2015 the Lib Dems won 11000 votes to the Tories' 22000. Had you forgotten that? Very convenient. In the context of a one-off tactical vote lets hope those Conservative voters you mention do decide to vote against Theresa May then. But that is as far as ...
I've been sceptical about tactical voting as I believe the leaders of the progressive parties; Labour, Lib Dems, SNP, Greens, Plaid Cymru should have shown real leadership and vision and formed a progressive alliance and set out nationally how to tactically vote. i.e. put forward 1 candidate only. Elsewhere on this site I have stated that I would only vote for a Progressive Alliance if it ...
@Gary Taylor . The 'wider Parish' is part of the NE Dawlish ward. Why make a distinction? They're not separate entities or are they? Freudian slip? He tried and failed because it was a not community project, it represented the minority wishes of the Cockwood Residents Association which he chaired. What record? The Lib Dems like to use online petitions/campaigns which is odd ...
@Gary Taylor I wrote that there is no co-ordinated tactical voting or progressive alliance. And there isn't as your posts prove. Hoping local deals between parties occur is insufficient. Co-ordinated tactical voting would need co-operation between the so called progressive parties. It hasn't happened as they're all to tribal. If you think randomized tactical voting will have a ...
@HuwMatthews2 Yes like in Scotland and NI. If the Scots people had been consulted more often by the Westminster elite there wouldn't be a referendum organized by the SNP. In fact the SNP would be a much less powerful party. The SNP were elected with a manifesto to hold an independence referendum in 2014, what's your point? Nobody elected Wrigley or the Cockwood Resident's ...
Thanks @Gary Taylor , Prior? Not also post the 2015 election? Not sure about that. That Cockwood vanity project failure was kept pretty schtum wasn't it? it was far from popular you see. It was not well received. Nothing to do with lack of resource. That's just rubbish. He needed more signatories, but failed despite a strange notion that a Cockwood parish would extend to Hensford farm and ...
