Looks as though he applies the same honesty and integrity to his expenses as he does to his reports to the media and tax payers!

Maybe Private Eye will catch up with him!


Nah! He is protected and I don't mean just by User!

Why do you ask? You have already made it clear that anyone that didn't vote for the two main parties were against the "vision" so your question is merely academic? In any case, which ward did BrianB stand in?
All questions on here are academic.

I was just asking why you thought voting for Labour, the Apolitical Democrats, UKIP or independents like Brian was wasting your vote?

Does it matter?

Why do you think anyone who voted for him (or the parties I mentioned) wasted their vote?

People didn't waste their vote.  People from any party other than Tory or Lib Dems wasted their time standing.

Which is why I won't answer his irrelevant question. I'm still looking forward to hearing which ward BrianB stood in. User clearly thinks I could have voted for him.

Quoted from user23.3
If "a vote for either of the two main parties in West Berks is a vote for the vision" then people in West Berkshire must generally be in support of the "vision" or they wouldn't have voted for "the two main parties", would they.



As you well know voters do not agree with all the proposals that are presented by each party even thought they vote for that party. As you well know tactical voting has become a major issue with the electorate.
There were figures once produced that purported to prove that most voters opted to choose a party purely for the reason that they were in actual fact the lesser of the evils not because they supported what they stood for.

Of course there is the way that policies are presented as well? If you were asked in a questionaire would you like the Pavillion built in the Wharf or would you prefer it built in Victoria Park please tick the box the appropriate box? Then you are not given the option of I do not want a Pavillion! I wonder what the results would be if all the ballot papers contained, as well as the usual X for opting for one or other of the standing parties, a box to tick or not that listed all the items in a parties manifesto for you to select whether you agreed with this or not and to make it mandatory only to continue with the policy if the majority of voters opted for this selection?

I would think it would show what you call  "Approval"  for your "Vision" would in actual fact turn out to be a case of "Acute Blindness"

Anyway User don't let the facts or the truth stand in the way of your faith of the Supreme Leader - "Keep the Faith"

You won't answer it because I suspect you can't support what you say.

Why was voting for Labour, the Apolitical Democrats, UKIP or independents like Brian wasting your vote?

Every ward in Newbury had a choice of some of these, so if you're trying to wriggle out supporting your statement by saying that you couldn't have voted for all of them, please don't.

Which ward did brianb stand in? Oh, sorry, now it is independants "like" Brian? I'm not wriggling out of anything. I just refuse to engage with a brown nose whose family makes so much money out of local tax payers that he feels the need to come on here and rubbish the genuine concerns of people that actually live here.

I find it disappointing you can't support what you say and have to resort to abuse including references to my family and general name calling.

Nice guy you ain't, Eddie. This is a new low for this forum.
