Hunts Post denies valid candidate a voice!

I see on Twitter that The Hunts Post is denying Lord Toby Jug a place on the stage for their special election debate. Why not. Didn't he beat Labour into last place at the County Elections in 2009! Looking at the Euro Vote if the loonies aren't allowed then Labour shouldn't be either. The Euro result was Conservative, UKIP, Liberal Democrats, Green, Labour. The Labour vote squeaked in just above the BNP.

If the Hunts Post is going to ditch candidates with no hope they should start with Anthea Cox. As Anthea has no hope of winning the Huntingdon Constituency.

I feel all the candidates should be invited and not discriminate against the loonies.

The BIG Question isn't so Big

The Hunts Post St Neots - 31/03/2010 digital edition

The Hunts Post wants to make this event organised by them on 22nd April 2010 at Commemoration Hall, Huntingdon the BIG Question. (Location here) This will be one of the few opportunities to question the candidates.

This will be the first time that electors can ask questions of Jonathan Djanogly about his expenses claims. Though this will be limited. As to the Big Question most of this will pass the Huntingdon Constituency by.

I hope the electors of St Neots take the opportunity to get to this debate to make our voices heard.

Lord Toby Jug has a surgery in a bar in St Ives

I read that Lord Toby Jug is now holding a surgery at this local pub. The Oliver Cromwell pub is venue and Thursday from 7.30pm onwards to closing is the time. Pity he doesn't come over to St Neots. A bit loony if you ask me! But that is why he is standing.

There are a couple of letters. One in the Hunts Post and another in the News and Crier. So far Lord Toby Jug is having a better campaign that Djanogly.

Loony ideas

In a letter in the News and Crier Lord Toby Jug outlined loony ideas which have made the political mainstream. As follows:

Though if you have enough policies some are bound to make it to the mainstream - sometimes.

2009 County and Euro Elections analysis

The 2009 Euro Elections were held in tandem with the County elections. This gave a chance to compare local election results where few parties stand to the Euros where many parties stand. This analysis can show where voters moved from the main parties to minor parties.

The County results were roughly the following: Conservative: 23,950 Liberal Democrat: 14,150 UKIP: 3,900 Labour: 2,984 Green 1,440 Others: 566	At the Euro elections: Conservatives: 16,543: (-7,407) Liberal Democrat: 6,498 (-7,652) Green: 3,332 (+1,892) Labour: 2,421 (-563) UKIP: 10,422 (+6,522) Others: 7,812
The difference between the two elections are as follows: Conservatives: -7407: Liberal Democrat: -7,652 Green: +1,892 Labour: -563 UKIP:  +6,522 Others: +7,246	The others are: BNP: +2,377 ED: +930 UKF: +1,354 Animals Count: +343 Christian Party: +656 Jury Team: +226 No to EU: +482 Libertas: +354 Socialist Labour: +280 Independent: + 332 OMRLP: -566

Conservatives: They lost a large minority of their support between the local elections and the Euros. I would suggest much of this support went to UKIP. But not all. Some went to the Jury Team, Libertas, UK First and the BNP.

Liberal Democrats: A total disaster as their local vote didn't translate into their Euro vote. 54% of their local support went elsewhere at the Euros. Some of the vote went Green but many others must have voted UKIP or even BNP.

Labour: This was a bad election for Labour who were beaten into 5th place in the Euros behind the Greens and not much in front of the BNP. The loss in Labour vote is not explained by a transfer of voters to the BNP. It can be explained by the transfer of votes to other left wing parties.

UKIP: They did very well at both local and Euro elections. With the Euro vote UKIP is the number 2 party behind the Conservatives.

At the Euro elections the Conservatives got 35% of the vote. The Liberal Democrats failed translate their local vote to their national vote. It was UKIP gaining support for both Conservatives and Liberal Democrats which saw its vote rise to become the second party in terms of votes.


In conclusion: At the General Election the electors vote to return a candidate to Parliament. It is obvious that if you vote for Djanogly you vote for this expenses scandal tarnished candidate. Voting for the UKIP candidate you will be voting for change in Parliament. I say vote UKIP.
