July 24, 2009

I heard a labour minister talking on tv about the Norwich result. He said that it was disappointing but that it was a bad result for cameron!

Really!   Apparantly the swing to the Conservatives was nowhere near high enough to win an election. He said that he was happy  that New Labour could keep quite a lot of seats at the general election if this was a representative result!

So what planet was he on? There are two options here.

One was that he did not understand that a similar swing in a general election would give the Conservatives a majority of 190 seats!

The second was that he was happy to spout misleading and wrong information on tv in order to hide that fact that New Labour have very little support even in their own seats!
