(Cannot believe that Green came behind UKIP, nor that a man of calibre of Craig Murray barely beat the discredited cleric West.)

Why can't you believe that a party of cranks with some headstrong and deluded followers (a minority) came behind the party which is established as the 4th party, or 2nd when using PR?
ReplyDeleteI don't think the Greens are cranks, but then I don't think Ukip is the 4th party either.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, congratulations - as long as you keep all racism out of your party.
You undoubtedly took votes away from the discredited Robert West and the obnoxious BNP. BIG THANKS for that.
