ONWARD AND UPWARD

We had an excellent meeting last night to discuss the recent election and discuss future plans.
We did not follow the usual format of a speaker detailing political thoughts and policies, but more of a debrief of our election experiences and a discussion of ideas for the future campaign.
Our country is in uncharted political waters and nobody knows how things will turn out or whether this coalition of the unlikely bedfellows of Cameron and Clegg (I mean this in the nicest possible way, but then they were public schoolboys) will work.

Many of their policies are miles apart and we face the disasterous economic situation bequeathed by Brown, so the question must be asked . How long will this power hungry marriage of convenience last when exposed to the harsh realities they face?
I'll give it two years in spite of what they say about fixed term Parliaments.

We need to be ready to accept the challenge when the inevitable break up occurrs.

AND WE ARE.

A member who is a statistician has found that our group had the greatest percentage increase of any group or branch in the country. I did not know that and I am indebted to him for bringing it to my notice.

Also it seems that Ken Haslam had the third highest BNP vote in the Parliamentary elections in the country.
Not bad when we lost our deposit in Makerfield five years ago.

So much for Furher Peter Franzen and his fascist mob's belief that we were driven out of Wigan and Leigh by his "peaceful" claw hammer wielding mob.

As former President Reagan said,

YOU AINT SEEN NOTHING YET!
