A disgraceful political gathering, and after they were banned elsewhere too ;)

I've just seen that Steve, don't quite know why I missed it first time around but what do you mean?

Re: Election - Place yer bets.
 

I'm just surprised that you're predicting Graham will only scrape in with 1-200 votes after a recount. I have much more faith in him than that. The impression I get from people I know and on this board is that Graham is a well-respected person who has the area's interests at heart. I know there'll be a swing against your lot nationwide, perhaps even more so after yesterday's events, but I reckon Graham's local standing, combined with local Tory unrest will be enough to see him elected reasonably comfortably. I'd even put money on it if I could get decent odds! ;)

Re: Election - Place yer bets.
 

Firstly, how do you know how I voted?

Secondly, I'm fairly sure I went for the 'Labour majority falls' option. That was the intention anyway!

Re: Election - Place yer bets.
 

Sorry, I've just worked it out.

Well that wasn't actually my intended choice so I've slipped up there.

Re: Election - Place yer bets.
 

I hope your Hyndburn Election predictions are better than your Stanley predictions Mr H.

Re: Election - Place yer bets.
 

Strewth, Ken! I hope you don't make any slip ups like that next Thursday...you could end up voting for Kazzer...or even worse, Kev the Rev! :eek:

Re: Election - Place yer bets.
 

Take heart, young Bernard...I actually won the Stanley prediction league about four seasons ago, so I am right sometimes! ;)

As quite a few members of this forum know, not only am a Labour councillor but also Chair of the Hyndburn Constituency Labour Party and this post is addressed directly to Jaysay.

I hope you can back up the accusation (which could be construed as libelous) that you have just leveled against the Hyndburn Constituency Labour Party's integrity regarding election expenses, as you appear to be suggesting that there will be financial irregularities in the completion of the expenses forms.

As you are no doubt aware there are two separate parts to this years General Election spending limits. These limits are as follows-
In the 'Long' campaign (which ran from 1/1/2010 to the date of dissolution 12/4/2010) is £25000 (per constituency) + 5p per elector.
In the 'Short' campaign (which runs from 13/4/2010 to 6/05/2010) is £7150 (per constituency) + 5p per elector.

Also, as you no doubt know the expense forms for all candidates at the General Election will be checked by the Electoral Commission.

Maybe you could provide me with proof that Hyndburn Constituency Labour Party have exceeded these spending limits.

Re: Election - Place yer bets.
 

I'll put it down to the lack of Earl Grey in the thinking engine last week.

I've actually already marked my postal vote so there's no worries on that score.

(double checks)

No, everything is fine now. I'd say 'normal service has been resumed' but that means four more years of Tory inactivity in Rishton.

Dear God, no.....
