The thing I noted about these people (always left-wingers) years ago now, is that they always bang on about democracy, equality, freedom etc. as long as you think EXACTLY the same way as them.

LOL.
Democracy in this country is a joke. Democracy means that majority rules, not the bl**dy minorities getting special dispensation.
I also notice that there are arguments being raised for a more fair voting system. I wonder just how long before proportional representation is mooted again.

I see the SNP are pushing for independence again. It's gone to their heads.

The fallout continues... http://sharecast.com/news/lord-sugar-quits-labour-party/22771873.htmlI used to be quite a fan of Sugar: unfortunately, I think he's started to believe his own PR and take himself far too seriously.

Farage is not going after all... http://news.sky.com/story/1481942/ukip-rejects-nigel-farages-resignationNow things might get very interesting as I believe Farage forced the other parties to talk about the elephant in the room.

Funny how Mr Zahawi suddenly took an interest in Stratford's traffic problems just a few months before the election. some good points have been made about how out electoral system doesn't work if more than 2 parties are involved: http://www.stratford-herald.com/36684-mp-sets-out-his-five-year-plan.html

Stratford District Council has a new chairman: http://www.stratford-herald.com/36824-new-council-chairman-appointed.htmlFrankly, I've never heard of either of them!

I find it sad that these parties that claim to be 'democratic' and to 'be for the people' always throw a huge tantrum when they don't get their own way; fair play to Terry White for respecting the way peiople have voted: http://www.rugbyadvertiser.co.uk/news/local-news/former-rugby-green-party-candidate-defects-to-lib-dems-after-sickening-protest-1-6873745

A prospective MP with scruples? Whatever next?
I think it's rather funny to watch the Labour leadership race coming undone. Because a left-winger might win, there are requests to call the contest off. Hardly democratic is it?
