Re: Leader of The Labour Party
I bet my bippy that if you played word association with all the candidates, and said the word 'graft'.
They'd all reply 'skin'.
None of them knowing the meaning of 'hard graft'.
Isolated as they all are, in their political careerists' ivory towers.

If he puts half the effort into running the country as he did in his election campaign we're laughing.
In the end I phoned him up and said that if his office rang me one more time to canvass me I'd be voting elsewhere.

A well-considered answer. Incidentally, if you're not going to reveal the recipient of your vote, what was the point of posting...was it because you were so pleased that you'd mastered the process of on-line voting in your party's leadership campaign that you wanted to share the experience with us?

Absolutely correct...but then, it is a secret ballot, just like any election.

...and as you've already proved, you don't really have the courage of your convictions anyway.
