Gosport, known for its "Duck House" Conservative MP could be won by the LibDems. Only 27% of the electorate voted Conservative. In the 2005 election Labour lost out to LibDems, UKIP and Green Party.
With a better turnout (60% in 2005) and if the Labour doubters, UKIP and Green Party sacrificed their votes we would all gain by having electoral reform. If we all do what we alway as do, the Duck House Brigade will get in again and we all loose.

Nice to hear someone talk a bit of common sense.
ReplyDeleteAs a person who made their living in computer software it reminds me of a conversation I have heard so many times.
User, "I pressed this button, clicked that icon, typed something in, clicked another button and it didn't work!"
IT guy, "So what did you next?"
User, "Well, I pressed this button, clicked that icon, typed something in, clicked another button and it still didn't work!"
IT guy, "And you expected something else to happen, Why?"
Do the same and get the same result, if you want something different, do something different!
What annoys me is that, as the 'Duck Island' constituency, the parties haven't done a lot to win us over one way or another. We should be one of the most disenchanted groups of voters but I feel we've been ignored!
ReplyDeleteStill....VOTE ROB!
