Gordon Brown went down to the Palace
He spurned the Lib Dem's poisoned chalice,
So now we're going to put up with Dave,
Some people think he must be brave,
SAID ALICE.
To take on the financial disaster,
Will need more than sticking plaster,
To solve the problems bequeathed by Brown,
To stop them taking our country down,
SAID ALICE.
We have our doubts that "Call me Dave",
Has it in him our country to save,
The only way forward as we can all see,
Is adopt the views of the BNP.
SAID ALL OF US.

ELECTORAL SHAMBLES
What a shambles. Nobody knows who or which parties will form the next government.
The election results indicated that voters voted against the three "main"parties but not decisively for any of them.
Only our party increased it's vote as a proportion of its previous vote to any meaningful degree, ie more than double.
Why was this?
The other parties have no policies which will extricate our country from this Brown induced disaster. That they are too similar with little to chose between them is shown that Clegg can contemplate joining with either of them with only the degree of electoral reform between Tories and Labour somewhat different. Note how quickly the Tories offered reform after Clegg had gone to Labour.
All three parties are putting their own interests before the national interest.
Which combination would I prefer?
A Lib Lab pact. Why? This would allow Labour to reap the results of the economic whirlwind it has saddled us with .
Industrial unrest will spread and these two parties will be tainted with causing it.
The Tories would probably elect a new leader rather than the vacuous Cameron they at present have.
Cameron missed an open goal with his imposition of "diversity" and "inclusion" on his choice of candidates which he imposed on his reluctant constituencies, and his other vacuous policies such as "a big society" whatever that means. The cuts in services he advocated while ring fencing foreign aid also did not endear him to his core Tory or even potential Labour voters. I know tories who would not vote for an ethnic candidate and I am sure there are Labour patriots as well.
So they all lost, and it serves them right.
Where does this leave our party? With some difficulties but stronger never the less.
Our increased support in the polls and new enquiries (I've 24 new enquiries just in) provides us with a broader base.
People will see that for all the talk of "change" the other parties are all to similar offer it. They will see that the change which our country desperately needs will not be brought about by these three parties and the REAL change in direction can only be achieved by adopting our policies.
We only have to grow and not necessarily gain power to have influence and this we will do.
We have learnt from our mistakes and rid ourselves of some rotten apples, are more united, and after a short rest are ready to go.
Meetings are already in place to plan our campaign to build on our gains.
The downside? There will be another election before very long and our funds are depleted.
However what we lack in cash we will more than make up by dedication to our cause and that we have in spades.

WE HAVE MADE A DIFFERENCE!
They won't admit it but we do and have made a difference even if it was not always in the way we wanted.
In marginal seats our vote was often much more than the difference between the other parties.
Yes I accept that the odious (I like to apply that epithet to Labour politicians) Ed Balls was helped to retain his seat by the intervention by Chris Beverley, but in Amber Valley, the region where we had our RWB fest the even more odious Judy Mallaber was booted out.
This anti democratic apology for a politician you remember was involved in the harassment of our fest and indeed was among the rabble demonstrating outside.
We and our country are well rid of her. She has no concept of democracy and was not fit to hold public office.
There were several marginal seats where our standing could and probably did make a difference, so in spite of our relatively as yet small numbers we have a greater influence than these numbers would at first suggest.
We are here waiting when the brown stuff hits the fan and the people realise that only we have the answers.

MORE ELECTION REFLECTIONS
All political parties in the country are disappointed with the election result.
The Tories have missed the open goal of an incompetent Labour government, while the much hyped Limp Dems failed to get their expected breakthrough.
UKIP stalled in its progress,(not the plane, the party) not surprising seeing they are a one trick party, a kind of anti EU Tory party.
When the results are analysed which I had not done yesterday I find that apart from the Tories we made the most progress, more than the Limp Dems and UKIP.
In percentage rise Tories got 3.8, we got 1.2 Limp Dems 1 and UKIP 0.9.
Labour of course lost 6.2.
Our total numbers of 563,000 polled was less than UKIP which stands at 917,000 but we are catching up.
We polled larger numbers than the Scottish or Welsh Nationalist parties although of course they represent only a part of Great Britain, but remember these latter parties have a strong influence in Parliament AND YET THEY HAVE FEWER VOTES.
WE are not a small as the media makes out, ans WE DID WELL.
Our disappointment and problems are less than theirs. They can only go one way, down and we can go only up.
Unlike the leaders of the three main parties I will go to bed now and sleep well (the sleep of the righteous?)

PROGRESS IN WIGAN & LEIGH
Although our GE results were somewhat disappointing generally here in the Wigan & Leigh area I think we did quite well.
Elections always cause national parties to have disappointments somewhere or other but I have to admit I thought that overall we would have done better.
I did warn my local activists not to be too optimistic. We were NEVER going to breakthrough in Wigan (you know the one about the pig in a red rosette), we just needed progress and that is what we got.
We have only stood in Makerfield once before when Dennis Shambley polled in the teens of hundreds of votes and lost his deposit.
This time we saved our three deposits, with Gary polling2724 in Leigh, nearly 1200 more than the heavily promoted UKIP and gaining 6.74 of the vote.
Ken did very well with his 3229 (7.38%), not surprising given his hard work. He would have gained more if he had not been in the contest withthe popular local independent councillor Bob Brearley.
My result was the worst and I was just pipped by UKIP (10 votes)
I polled 2506 (5.68%). This was without a real canvass, just a few local leaflets and a table top. I had not time to do more.
I said all along I would be happy (if not satisfied) if we saved our deposits, AND WE DID.
Tired we went to see the local results today and again were satisfied. We had to spread our resources thinly but even so made an impression.
You don't have to win to have influence, you just need to take vital votes from other parties, and we have shown we can make a difference even with a small vote.
A few years ago in a bye election in Douglas ward which we only half heartedly engaged in and with a paltry vote helped prevent CAP becoming the largest party and replacing Labour as the ruling group on the council much to the disgust of their leader (fuhrer) Peter Franzen.
CAP impoded after that many of the more decent members leaving to become Independent.
Two years ago Stephen Mc Ellenborough played a crucial part in making him an EX councillor.
Today as the results came in it was evident that Franzen was over 1000 votes behind Labour.
Now of course Labour are our opponents but even when we have differences of opinion at least they are civilised and we much prefer them to CAP.
We are pleased to have played a part in giving the hopefully "never to be a councillor again Franzen" the push.
I believe you read this blog Ex Councillor after your comments in Leigh last night.
You are as easy to hook as a tame goldfish. A tip. Do not react to blogs. People know you are reading it. Keep quiet and the bloggers will never know if they are blogging into space or not, but it's too late for you now. You've given the game away.
You will have plenty time to read blogs now or arrange more "peaceful" demonstrations.
Ask your friends to leave their hammers at home next time will you?, and remember DON'T RESPOND TO BLOGS.
