"I didn't vote for you"
...Mr Orton,<br /><br /><i>"I didn't vote for you"</i><br /><br />Given some of your previous comments, that is hardly a surprise. But then, since you are not on the electoral register for this constituency - not under that name anyway - you couldn't have done so even if you had wanted to.John Dixonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07447224248021209852noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-44084056422651223262010-05-09T10:24:53.711+01:002010-05-09T10:24:53.711+01:00Anon,

You ...Try to be objective now the campaign is over. You handed your rural vote to Hart with your ridiculous stance on hunting. Every time you attacked him for his pro-hunting views you handed him another 100 votes.<br /><br />If you think he polled 16k votes with a bit of cash and the support of a few landowners you are completely deluded.<br /><br />You were beaten by a non-entity of a Lib Dem with a non existent campaign. Admit what went wrong and make sure that Plaid stands candidates who appeal to potential voters and doesn't insult them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4411161795798360588.post-10182905245623128262010-05-07T18:05:58.280+01:002010-05-07T18:05:58.280+01:00Dear Anonymous,

It's almost as if some of them actually want to be irrelevant in Westminster. <br />I hope that when the party does its post mortem you'll work out why it is that Labour at its lowest ebb can still beat you in Llanelli and Mon, come uncomfortably close in Adam Price's old seat, etc. get thrashed in Ceredigion by a non-entity Lib Dem MP, and drop to 4th in Aberconwy and even in Gwynfor territory.<br />Deeply disappointing, and bad for the countryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
