Nick & Co. seem to have the idea that if we don't seem that we're 100% united with the Tories on every issue, we'll give the impression that the government isn't stable.<br /><br />That's wholly untrue, we just need a different attitude towards what we perceive of government.<br /><br />On the result in Oldham, I'm afraid we disagree. Most of the general public with whom I've spoken since the result have commented that they were quite surprised that we did so well. I'm always disappointed in a loss, but to increase our share of the vote, even marginally, when we're struggling so much in the polls, is actually fairly remarkable.hypnoticmonkeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10984438796471787667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4732407426313451205.post-79718415513641247252011-01-14T12:06:15.433+00:002011-01-14T12:06:15.433+00:00Completely agree, but you're probably the only...Completely agree, but you're probably the only LD blogger to comment on the by-election realistically and with ideas to perform better in future. Everyone else is banging on about increased vote share and how well it all went.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
