For you to deliberately take this remark out of context and inflate it into a very serious accusation of political "collusion" is, to say the least, ridiculous. <br /><br />Your description of voting outcomes is enlightening, but not for the reasons you give. It shows very clearly that our current first-past-the-post electoral system disenfranchises a large number of voters, and that a move to a fairer system based on proportional representation is long overdue.

You assume ...Well argued, but complete nonsense...<br /><br />You assume that all Green voters would automatically vote either Labour or LibDem if a Green candidate was not available --- all recent analysis shows that this is not the case.<br /><br />Conservative voters, when unhappy with their candidate, or their main party, tend to vote Green or LibDem.<br /><br />Labour voters, when unhappy with their candidate, or their main party, tend to vote Green or LibDem.<br /><br />Green and LibDem voters, when unhappy with their candidate, or their main party, or when their candidate of choice is not available, tend to simply stay at home and not vote at all.<br /><br />Your argument is completely bogus.<br /><br /> Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9215006984353817373.post-85076274961579718782018-02-27T21:32:58.146+00:002018-02-27T21:32:58.146+00:00This is so silly.

There was no chance of any other party winning in Golders Green in 2014 so they were helping me avoid errors. My neighbour and good friend stands for Labour and also helps me. Nobody shows me private resources but it really helps to see how the main parties mobilise their vote on polling day and to hear the predictions of which parties are getting most votes and how that's worked out. You're completely wrong about Hale ward and the anti-Brexit event on Mill Hill Broadway. Adam Langleben asked for it to be there. It was organised by Number 10 Vigil, not Barnet Greens. I made sure other political parties were also invited. Hendon Times got the details of the organisers wrong. You have a great imagination!Adele Wardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13423081842097694829noreply@blogger.com
