Yes, only voting for Harry Wills will get him elected (unless he stands in Zimbabwe...). The point is this. However much you try to dress it up, this is a two horse race - and Harry Wills is not one of those horses I'm afraid. So, for once, maybe a Lib Dem election leaflet might be accurate in saying only one party can win there. <br><br>And its not them. Sorry Stephen!Malchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18191161151984519900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732919976442735382.post-15931231025908817172008-10-10T08:37:00.000+01:002008-10-10T08:37:00.000+01:00Sorry for tarring you a CyberNat Malc, but I had t...Sorry for tarring you a CyberNat Malc, but I had to cover the whole gumult of comments and CyberNat was a handing recognisable coverall for most of them.<br><br>As you comment that I would in anyway vote rig an election by voting 200 times that is underhand.<br><br>But it also falls short on so many levels. There are still 4 weeks to go in the this election, that is plenty of time to change the perspective of voters if something that may have a bearing on how they vote, especially tactically, comes to light.Stephen Glennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03027718551675624433noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732919976442735382.post-90288991824034559552008-10-10T08:42:00.000+01:002008-10-10T08:42:00.000+01:00I wasn't suggesting you would rig an election ...I wasn't suggesting you would rig an election Stephen. I was suggesting that, ancient-old-voting style, were you to have a bulk vote, it still wouldn't make a difference. And I think you knew that's what I meant.<br><br>But you might be right. I just saw Harry Wills on BBC Breakfast. Apparently Glenrothes "will be nothing like Glasgow East - the Lib Dems will not be squeezed like they were there". According to Brian Taylor's chat anyway...Malchttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18191161151984519900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3732919976442735382.post-48704979572676976352008-10-10T09:17:00.000+01:002008-10-10T09:17:00.000+01:00Yes Malc I was hoping that is what you meant, but ...Yes Malc I was hoping that is what you meant, but I have to think of some future reader of this comments thread. Don't forget the risk that Kez mentioned earlier in the week.<br><br>I'm glad you agree to some extent. Glasgow East we were in somewhat of a hinterland with no clear message. People at the time said we needed one. We now have one. This time it will be different. Plus when all sorts of people are praising Vince Cable at a time of economic uncertainty we certainly may well have something going for us over the next few weeks that others may wish they had in their locker.Stephen Glennhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03027718551675624433noreply@blogger.com
