Labour always comes second at European Elections. It is about to do so for the fifth time in a row. But the Conservatives' only hope of one seat is that it might scrape one in 10 of the votes cast in the South East. Keeping saying that until it quite sinks in.
The Conservative Party's lead candidate in the South East is Daniel Hannan, so that, even in that event, no supporter of the Withdrawal Agreement would have been elected. With 73 seats to fill, and using Proportional Representation, still not a single supporter of the Withdrawal Agreement would have been elected.
But that one Conservative seat would not be spun like that. It would be a case of, "See, we did win somewhere after all." In anticipation of the Withdrawal Agreement Bill, the Conservative Party must not secure even so much as one in 10 of the votes cast in the South East. And this time, it really might fail to do so.
Beyond that, another hung Parliament is coming, and we need our people to hold the balance of power in it. It has become a local commonplace that I am on 30-30-30 with Labour and the Conservatives here at North West Durham, so that any one of us could be the First Past the Post. I will stand for this seat, if I can raise the £10,000 necessary to mount a serious campaign. Please email davidaslindsay@hotmail.com. Very many thanks.
