Yup, said that on me Monday. The leaflet is enough to put me off voting for him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sadly, I am not in her constituency, but if I was, I would vote for her. My main reason is that I believe that a country of 85,000 people should be entitled to elect its own CM. This would be a rare act of direct democracy. I realise this little miracle is not going to happen in the 2021 GE, but Daphne has at least made some positive inroads toward making this more likely in the future, and also that we can have a plan to allow a simple majority of MHKs to remove a sitting CM. All of this would be welcome progress IMHO. God loves a trier, even if they don't achieve much, Seriously though I hope she has a future stab air changing things for the better..Some though get comfortable and just forget ....you know...what..er... they are there for...about etc... Maybe she will be different if she gets in, this time. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
manxman34 Posted July 1, 2021 Share Posted July 1, 2021 I will vote for Daphne again, and hope that the incoming HoK is less misogynistic and open to new ideas. Perkins can do one, after his 'Boot' - licking and support of the establishment. (His pamphlet is awful, too). Gareth is a clever cookie for a scientist, so he'll get my second vote. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perkins has been an unquestioning establishment foot-soldier who has taken care not to rock any boats (if indeed foot-soldiers come into contact with boats!). Undeserving of re-election in my opinion. 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with that Martin, you are a nice guy but have proven to be a waste of space during this term and my vote will not be forthcoming. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepyJoe Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 There's 11 minutes 3 seconds of Gareth here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7dzOJL-duJw TwentyFourKeys currently has Gareth topping the poll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The algorithms that TwentyFourKeys seem to use tend to pick up on that quite heavily - at least at this stage of the campaign. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SleepyJoe Posted August 20, 2021 Share Posted August 20, 2021 Interesting that they have Gareth ahead of Mrs Caine, who is quite social media savvy herself 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
