Still On Track

Here:

"Every single constituency is going to be abolished so that wholesale boundary changes can occur, while the Alternative Vote should, and probably will, be introduced. So everything is now up for grabs. David Lindsay is the sort of candidate who could easily expect huge numbers of second and subsequent preference votes. Start now, and we can certainly win him a new seat in 2015."

    Oh, sorry, just realised this group is out of date and relates to the 2010 election. How did that go?

    AV changes everything, as you understand. Labour, Tory, UKIP and Independent voters in this area all have plenty of reasons to give second or third preference votes to you. You won't be eliminated in the first round because that will be the BNP whose voters will have put no second preferences. NW Durham could merge with N Durham, Durham City or Bishop Auckland but at least one Labour MP therefore has to retire and of those four they all could using this change as their excuse, so it could wellbe some virgin London candidate fresh out of Oxbridge. Go for it. You can win.

    Interesting that you are no longer restricted to any particular area. You believe that the position you represent should be in Parliament and that you personally should be in Parliament. On both counts you are right.

    Very many thanks.

    Anonymous is right that under AV, BNP supporters may as well stay at home. Bring it on.

    Oh great, this is all we need. A bigger new seat to be designated "Catholic" to see you off and a good Mass goer made the Labour candidate despite the ban on Catholics being on women only short lists, a Labour rule not a Catholic one. Could even be the same person as last time, who even belongs to the same PARISH as you.

    No doubt there will be fair and balanced coverage from Peter "bring back the old Labour right" Hitchens, Neil Clark, Rod Liddle (a member of this Facebook group), Ed West (ditto) and all the rest of your mates. Rural County Durham will be so flattered by the attention and bamboozled by your list of important friends that they will put you in. All we need. All we bloody need.
