YouTube or Vimeo to record videos is a good idea too. People have very little patience for reading anymore. Maybe BigClive could give people tips on that.

I’d much rather speed read than watch a video

Well Libvan is certainly giving Corrin credibility, of sorts, the are now tucked up very tightly, all there little thoughts are aired on his forum.    Although If I had to rely on that cretinous party to give me any sort of identity I really would not bother.

I would too but the younger generation growing up with "smart" phones have the attention span of goldfish.

Liberal Vannin are finished. The Green Party are going to annihilate them in the next general election.

That would not be hard, two members they have isn't it ?    Hooper is doing alright so will probably go independent and the other one has not a prayer of being re elected.

What gives you that impression? Just because he has posted on the Liberal Vannin Facebook page?

James Corrin once wanted to stand for election on a LibVan ticket but, I understand, was politely turned down.

Which for LibVAn is saying something, considering some of the numpties that have jumped on their bandwagon

Was that when he stood to be a commissioner.?

[gettafa 6,542]

Yes

(eta - might have been Keys when he withdrew - see below. I wasn't actually taking that much notice)

Corrin and LibVan are absolutely meant for each other. And in so doing completely confirm my views of both.

If Hooper doesn’t divest himself of LibVan he’s insane.

It was 2011 after he mysteriously withdrew his candidacy for Keys for ‘personal reasons’ according to this link

He certainly seemed well equipped to replace someone who had suffered from a smear campaign, being an active smear campaigner himself.

Really - he's one of those fucking nutcases who are whining about a cycle lane in Ramsey. Lost all credibility with me I'm afraid.

Are you trying to be funny? They may have two members now but they literally only just started up a couple of months ago. They've already achieved more than any other party in such a short frame of time.
