I have just cast one of my votes for Jon Cruddas: a simple number 1, thus ruling out any possibility of redistribution in subsequent rounds. At least one other ballot paper should be arriving in the next few days.
Whatever else you do, do not vote for Harriet Harman. Give her no preference. She has been nominated both by Gisela "Vote Bush" Stuart and by Denis "Vote Sarkozy" MacShane. So, as was Cameron in the Tory Leadership Election, she is the candidate of the party that is The Henry Jackson Society and the Euston Manifesto Group, the purpose of which is to secure the imposition of its neoconservative entryists as MPs for safe Tory and safe Labour seats respectively, there to do the bidding of foreign powers (which are not necessarily states).
Don't vote for treason. Don't vote for Harman. Or for any other Jacksonite or Eustonite candidate for anything, ever, come to that.

heh you remind me of our late prime minister Andreas Papandreou
ReplyDeleteOld labour is almost like old Pasok, the section of the greek socialist party who do not believe in social-democracy but in some third way thing or something like that.
Thanks for voting for Jon Cruddas! Much appreciated!
ReplyDeleteIf she's treasonous, aren't you treasonous too? What with having stood as an independent, against Labour candidates, in an election, and argued that nobody should ever vote Labour again - and now voting in their Deputy Leadership election? Are you "Two Parties" Lindsay?
ReplyDeleteI am "No Parties" Lindsay, for now at any rate. But I am still "Several Organistaions Which Predate The Labour Party, Helped To Set It Up, And Will Be Crucial To Setting Up Its Replacement" Lindsay, so I still have several votes. And if one has a vote in anything, then one really ought to use it.
ReplyDeleteI can't prove this, but I have very strong grounds to suspect that each of the three Labour candidates "against" whom I stood (I didn't - people had up to three votes) voted for himself, for one other Labour candidate, and for me. One of them had to be prevented from signing my nomination paper!
I also strongly suspect that each of the three candidates from a local paleocon party called Derwentside Independents, one of whom was my proposer, also voted for himself, for one other DI, and for me.
Do you take something before you make this nonsense up .... please dont tell me that it isnt drug induced or worse still that you believe it!!
ReplyDeleteThe ballot paper sent to me by a Labour-affiliated organisation required me to tick a box saying (roughly - don't have the wording) that I supported the Labour Party and did not support any of its opponents or stand candidates against it in an election. Did yours? And did you tick it, and if so why?
ReplyDeleteOf course I did. I'm not a member of any political party. It didn't ask whether I'd ever stood as an Independent.
ReplyDeleteAnd 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.
