Oh, The Irony!

I don't normally do "Blog Wars", but I might just make an exception where the activities of Idiots4Labour are concerned. They probably think that their name is ironic. Quite clearly, it isn't. How ironic is that?

Still, it is good to see people who insist that I'm an irrelevant crank still paying me so much attention. Funny, that.

Now, to business. Idiots4Labour might ask themselves why the County Councillor here didn't dare re-contest his Parish Council seat, and why Hilary Armstrong's office boy and preferred successor nearly lost his. Yes, you read aright: he nearly lost his seat on a Parish Council!

Whereas I kept mine, the whole point of the old trick of putting up for the District on the same day even though I never had the slightest realistic expectation of winning. Idiots4Labour would understand these things, if they were the sort of people who condescended to contest elections prior to their imposition as parliamentary candidates for safe seats, or if they were the sort of people who condescended to do the slightest campaigning work even then. But, of course, they are not.

Rather, such freeloading pseudo-Labourite apparatchiki, and their pseudo-Tory and no doubt pseudo-Liberal equivalents, are the reason why we need entirely new political parties. As we will simply have to have sooner rather than later, if anyone is to contest elections at all.
