I think your poll was worded slightly incorrectly Garinda, as some of the replies reflect. Should have been a little clearer that you may have been talking about local elections and not National, asking maybe the question of do you vote for your political leanings in local elections or the merit of the person standing for election, and if the former which one ? Think would have given us a more truistic picture. Although does appear to be showing this up a little as most people voting none, if this is the reason they voted that way.
To be honest, couldn't quite understand your letter to the Observer, except to praise him for helping Accymel out with her passport .. was it, therefore, in answer to John Farrer's letter of July 27th ? didn't pick that up .. thought you were just on an a$$-licking crusade ..
He was slightly out of order though, wasn't he ?.. think criticisms, by Accyweb members, have only been levied at PB on specific issues (including me re. the Hyndburn name change). Good to see that Lilly has had good words to say about him too. One excellent comment I noticed is that we have been promoted from Mafia to Clan by Mr. Farrer ... mmmm... yes, like that, has a lovely ring to it ..
