Election Aftermath.

Wednesday 12th May

A ConLib Government. Or as I prefer, ConDem.
Not so much Wilson's 'A week is a long time in politics', or even Clive James' 'Christ, what a fortnight', it has frankly been a mad few days. And thats even before I blog about the County AGM yesterday (above) or the Borough AGM tonight.

So, here we are. I shall blog more fully shortly, but in the meantime herewith a few of my tweets and facebook entries that pretty much summarise my take.

They were posted in real time, so scroll down and read up...

And Facebook.

Of course, if it goes PR there will be those who think it worth setting up a small party of their very own. May 8 at 6.03pm

I'm still piqued by the level of Labour support.

Having digested the election results feels a little like Charlton Heston on that beach when he encounters the Statue of Liberty : "YOU MANIACS! YOU
BLEW IT (UP)!" May 7th at 5.29pm ·



Its cheating a bit. Something more substantial shortly.
