Blogger loses deposit - shock

Oh dear. Yours truly ended up in fifth place with 2.7% of the vote.

Not that it's any consolation, but you did better than Old Holborn.

Mark Wadsworth said...

It's not actually, I checked all the bloggers and we all did appallingly.

JuliaM said...

Never mind! Still got nearly three times as many votes as the Greens.

Were you standing then, Mark? I must have missed that. Which party?

bayard said...

I'm sure you'll have another chance before long.

Bad luck. You'll have to try with a real party next time ;)

Seriously, not a bad result for you really - a lot of UKIP candidates did a lot worse.

DBC Reed said...

Can't believe there was a time- warp National Front candidate.

Mark Wadsworth said...

JM, still a tad disappointing.

D, click the link in the post for details.

B, indeed, I give it 12 to 18 months before we go through the whole rigmarole again.

AC, UKIP is by far the least-worst party and by a reasonable margin teh best party. Just you watch what happens when iDave is in charge.

DBC, that puzzled me as well. They're probably the ones who think the BNP are sold out pinko liberals.

My comment on the next post up.

Beaten by the BNP!

Oh, the shame.

Demand a recount.

hardly an embarressment. Labour got more than zero votes - which must mean there are more than zero retards in teh country. Who the fk is voting labour? idiots that dont realise what a mess they have actually made of the country. And there's your problem - until a majority of the public wake the fk up, a majority rule system (or poor replica, as the case may be) will never see you get anywhere near power.

Unlucky Mark. I must admit that it seemed smaller parties were being squeezed in every constituency this time round. There was such a Labour/Tory polarisation this year that maybe there wasn't much of an environment for giving someone else a chance.
