Election Result
Thank you for your support at the General Election. The turnout was +3.2% (62.3) my vote was up +4% (23,258) and majority +9% (13,478). The election locally was fought by the main party candidates on the issues. All candidates were determined and combative in equal measure but always respectful to each other. I complimented my opponents in my acceptance speech for that and wished them well in their future endeavours.
Clegg’s Lib Con
The General Election is over; 30 million votes have been counted and one man’s vote decided who the Prime Minister would be. Lib/Dem leader Nick Clegg, whose party won 57 (9%) of the 650 seats in Parliament had lectured the country in the three leaders TV debates, arguing for “PR and fair votes”, quote, “making every vote count”. Well we now know what he meant by making his vote count. The new Deputy Prime Minister sold his party’s soul for a pot of political gold and five place-mats at Cameron’s cabinet table, including his own aggrandisement to Deputy Prime Minister.
The Lib/Dems had also campaigned to end political patronage and particularly appointing unelected Peers to the House of Lords. Interestingly all Lib/Dem MP’s in their negotiating team are now in David Cameron’s Cabinet and they agreed that Cameron could appoint 100 extra unelected Peers to the House of Lords.
