Consider:<br /><br />1) despite fielding a completely disgraced candidate, Team Bozo still finished within 1400 votes of holding the seat.<br />2) The LibDems only won because PC and Greens didn't field candidates (goodness only knows what the <i>quid pro quo</i> for that might be; will the LDs now support independence? Will Swinson hand back all that dosh she got from the head of a fracking company? Hardly, in either case).<br />3) As you pointed out Tim, the pro-Brexit candidates won over half the vote, the anti-Brexit candidate won 43%, and the "WTF are we saying <i>this</i> week?" Labour Party finished a poor fourth.<br />4) Bozo is still safe for now, not only because he can shake that magic tree to bribe the finest minds that 18th century Ireland has to offer, but also because any putative Tory 'rebels' will, untimately, behave as they always do; they will either be scared off or bought off.<br /><br />As you were...Nigel Stapleyhttp://www.thejudge.me.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4433144336299288135.post-15500041927518588732019-08-02T15:57:58.782+01:002019-08-02T15:57:58.782+01:00(not so) Cleverly blamed their defeat on the "...(not so) Cleverly blamed their defeat on the "backroom manoeuvring" of those parties that decided not to put up candidates.
