Its just the constant attacks on plaid cymru. We all know they are anti English rural weirdoes without the constant reminders. Sorry if I was mean. Most of my posts are pretty damm dull. I withdraw my comment. That's a shame when I've 'liked' it!  Arthur posted a rather feeble joke, one of our Plaid supporters rather over-reacted, Cefin joined in ...... Little light was shed on the coming by-election. And as a former Plaid member I would dissent from the view that Plaid are "anti English rural weirdos". Sadly, however, a proportion of their supporters are ..... But then, some Lib Dems are sandal-wearing, bearded muesli-knitters (but rather fewer now than a few years ago). Rather fewer of every sub stratum I would have thought? |

My father is a bespectacled sandal wearing bearded cyclist living in the middle class suburbs of a large northern city who eats museli for breakfast every day. He will, as usual, be voting for a lib dem councillor but through constant canvassing has promised to vote Con in the general. |

He might be onto a non-starter with that. |

My mate's utter, utter loathing of Scousers would probably preclude that. Anyway, I didn't know he was SLP, anyone else well known? (other than Scargill of course) |

When the Kingston St James's result comes through, we have to compare the Lib Dem vote share not to the 22% they got in May, but to the about 50% they claimed to have got in the ward in the 2010 general election. Because the Lib Dem leaflets say clearly that is the comparison:  |

(other than Scargill of course) Unfortunately not (that I know). The fact is, of course, that about half of the party's vote comes from the latter's name recognition alone; we're fucked once he's gone. |

I've seen plenty of things like "David Cameron's Conservative candidate" etc before, but never before seen a council candidate being referred to as being their MP's candidate- "Ed Davey's candidate Annette Wookey" just sounds bizarre. And not just because her name sounds like somebody has built a replica of a Somerset tourist attraction out of gauze or lace.
