That’s why the Labour MP’s voted for his brother and it’s why he has a snowball in hell’s chance of ever being Prime Minister. He’s just too weird.

Anyway where did you get the figure of 30000 from?

Previously you have invented wars this country never had and now you’re inventing votes that dithering dud never got…

I worked in govt as a SpAd, and my name here is a nom de plume. Most of the current ‘campaigns’ are Potemkin villages anyway – bit of Twitter, bit of media coverage, and a bit of pointing to self-inflicted coalition errors. The shadow cabinet elections played a big part in this – Shadow Ministers had to go straight into campaign mode again to impress their colleagues.

We need a new message, new policies and a new means of reaching and engaging with voters, all based on an understanding of what went right and wrong. Maybe we need an amnesty, a Truth and Reconciliation Commission, where senior figures can confess their ‘sins’? Instead of this, every other ex-Minister and SpAd has poured his or her guts out to Anthony Seldon, Steve Richards and the other authors who have written books on the Brown period, which is fine for beltway chat but not for the wider task.

(When did I say I was a computer repair man? I said I put software on machines on a 13 minute cycle. I work with embedded controllers)

Anyway so far you have failed to show how many (watch the next word now) Individuals voted for the lame duck. NOT votes Chrissy boy. We know they’re rigged.

Well Bugger Lugs?

Yawn, don’t you get bored re-posting the same thing over and over again? Repeating the same lines then saying your always right is hardly constructing a coherent argument. Still if you are really a middle aged computer repair man barely earning the NMW I suppose it figures you’d have some sort of retardation.

You are getting upset about a party that won’t have a sniff of power for at least ten years.

The public in this country are not going to forget Gordon Brown in a hurry – especially with the constant reminder that is Ed Miliband.

The man is a useless dud and you and all the readers know it. As with the last Labour leader, who people on this blog are still excusing, the fact is he has no chance if being PM – especially now he has employed a multi millionaire coke head smear merchant as a spin master.

New Labour is dead. Long live New Labour. Long time in opposition ahead…

Yawn, why bother re-posting tory press releases? Its boring.

“Read my lips. INDIVIDUALS you moron, not votes.”

It cuts both ways shithead. Ed got 119,405 individual votes in the affiliates section, the number of people with more than one vote is tiny compared with that as those people were mainly MPs.

“And so do you Chrissy boy and that’s what’s annoying you.”

No, what is annoying me is that paid tory party trolls, who have been caught red handed copy and pasting directly from tory party press releases, are polluting this blog with propaganda.

@william

“Chris, please calm down.”

Anybody who replies to your strange and rambling comments you tell to calm down – are you Micheal Winner?

“Anon E Mouse does have some points”

Yeh, he does have some points but they’re always the same points repeated ad nauseum usually bearing no relation to the article he is commenting on.

“First,the party is bust, and could not finance a general election.Second, even the non political John Ward at the Slog reminds everybody of EM’s electoral score.Third,that rather intelligent piece on Labour Uncut is actually the mirror image of Conservative HQ in 1975, and we all know what happened later, after a complete rethink by our opponents.”

Nope, you’re talking in riddles again. But you seem to have at least taken my advice to use the space bar occasionally, try it after full stops and your comments will seem, syntactically at least, less retarded.

Chris – Read my lips. INDIVIDUALS you moron, not votes. We know about that countess toff Harriet Harman, educated at the same school as the chancellor and her numerous votes – amazed her husband got through the “All women shortlist” but hey.

The fact is that dithering prat, the useless Ed Miliband, has no hope of ever being elected as PM and Labour supporters have elected a dud and they know it. And so do you Chrissy boy and that’s what’s annoying you.

So please calm down Bugger Lugs.

It’s going to be at least 10 years before government for Labour is even a possibility. The way you’re going you’ll have had a heart attack by then and in this season of goodwill to all men (even New Labour lickspittles like yourself) I’d hate it if that happened.

Merry Christmas Bugger Lugs xxx

Are they even still going? Havn’t heard much from them in a while. Their leader’s a bit, um, underwhelming isn’t he?
