Henley by-election – the good and the bad points

Posted in Politics by Gareth Main on June 27, 2008

For the first post on the blog categorised ‘politics’, I’ll make it quick and easy to understand so that in this time of political nonchalance you can rapidly decipher what went on…

BAD: It happened because Boris Johnson is now mayor of London

GOOD: Labour (right wing party) got a good spanking

BAD: Conservative (equally right wing party) won by 10,000 votes

GOOD: The Lib Dems (left) and Greens (left) got 32% of the vote in second and third place

BAD: The BNP (Hitler right) convinced 1,243 people that they should be in power (beating labour into fifth place)

GOOD: The Monster Raving Loony Party made terrific gains coming seventh with a smaller gap in votes between them and Labour than Labour and the Green Party

BAD: All in all a sad day because Dave Cameron gets on TV again spinning his propaganda about being the right choice for the country and a determined leader when in fact he is a sucky dickwad.

GOOD: To illustrate the point, this result gives me the chance to put this video online:
