With regard to the Labour Deputy Leadership Election, the Business Reply Service envelope for another affiliated organisation was second class, but that for the Fabian Society was, of course, first class.
So that's another vote for Jon Cruddas: a simple number 1, incapable of redistribution in subsequent rounds of counting.
I've been asked if I ticked the little box (you don't actually have to, you know) saying that I was not a member of any organisation that stood candidates against Labour ones. Of course I did. I'm not a member of any political party. It didn't ask whether I'd ever stood as an Independent (which was not "against" Labour - people had up to three votes).
And even if it had, active Tories, Lib Dems, Greens, Respect-ites and UKIP-ites have all, to my certain knowledge, voted in this election, and have all ticked the little box. Apparently, nobody takes that seriously, and just ticking it regardless is standard practice.

Nobody takes it seriously, and doing it is just standard practice? What, like abortion?
ReplyDeleteTake it up with them: I'm NOT a member of an organisation that stands candidates against Labour ones, so I'm within the rules.
ReplyDeletePlease keep up the fight against Lindsay, whoever you are.
ReplyDeleteThe churches, the unions, the farmers and their country Tory mates, the Labour Councillors in Derwentside, the Independent Councillors throughout the constituency - it's become a sort of Jacobitism, with him as The MP Over The Water.
How long before he is The PM Over The Water? He must be stopped!
