Uhtred Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 What do we think the chances are of Dobson polling zero votes...or will there be some comedy votes for him (including his own I suppose). I know nothing of this fella other than he's been done for drunk driving and (I think it's him) isn't going to be here on polling day? I was talking to someone who went to the req meeting recently not thinking much of him and came away thinking he was the best candidate! And before you ask, yes the lady in question does have more mainstream political views than myself. The Garff candidates seemed (on paper) to promise much and in practice appear to offer little. But Dobson the best candidate..? Hmmmm... He's more neck than a giraffe if he acts like nothing has changed for him ! If I was standing in Garff and Dobson was said to be the best candidate, I'd be on the boat pronto in shame. Tony Wild will vote for him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Sausages Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 From the Garff thread: Rofl..... Let's hope he doesn't get done for drunk in charge just before the election again. Here was his 2011 excuse to ManxForums just so nobody forgets. http://www.manxforums.com/forums/index.php?/topic/45817-general-election-2011-garff/?p=647102 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uhtred Posted September 14, 2016 Author Share Posted September 14, 2016 Fuck me. History repeats itself. That sounds much more grandiose than "Fuck me. Dobson's pissed again". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rhumsaa Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Crowe won't get in but won't be anywhere near wooden spoon McDonough maybe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thebees Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 No, yer right Rhumsaa Crowe is very popular in Ramsey. John is totally lovely but he is taking 'the young vote' off people who may need it (Laurie Hooper) & the worst of worst could happen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
victorian dad Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 I predict, you know, that Crowe, you know, will get, you know, as many votes, you know, as his IQ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Uhtred Posted September 21, 2016 Author Share Posted September 21, 2016 I predict, you know, that Crowe, you know, will get, you know, as many votes, you know, as his IQ. No way...he'll poll more than 11. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freggyragh Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Crowe doesn't pretend to be smart, but what he is doing is asking why some things are the way they are. I thinks he's ready to ask inconvenient questions and not scared of looking foolish for doing so. That, and the fact that a lot of people admire him for his personal courage is why I think he will get in. A lot of voters are fed up with slick politicians with fancy brochures and a nice turn of phrase - we want someone we trust. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ManxTaxPayer Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yeah, Ramsey's lucky. With the possible exception of Hampton down south, it's the only seat that is being given a real choice with some new ideas. Crowe will grow into being an MHK should he get in and rattle a few cages in the process and Dr Allinson is taking a brave and fresh approach to the retarded war on drugs. They'd both get my vote if I were a Ramsey voter. Where I am all that is on offer is more of the same old shite, not even a protest vote option to get rid of incumbents because none of them are standing. Quite depressing really, for the first time in ages I don't think I'll bother voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freggyragh Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Ramsey & Ayre and Michael have some really good candidates. Shame about some other constituencies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ManxTaxPayer Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Yeah that's probably what I'll go for. If I can be bothered getting out of bed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
