If I didn't know until I checked the ballot paper, I'd vote for whoever appeared to be their biggest rivals. I'd like to hope that people do decide how to vote for on more substantive issues and are not swayed by ephemera, but in reality, quite a few people don't make up their mind until they are in the booth.

Surely nobody makes their mind up on a single factor, and such a trivial one at that?

They were at all week of their conference. I mean, what is the pathology behind that? They are popular, they would probably win an election called today, and yet they can't help resorting to making stuff up. Stuff that can easily be checked. I wonder how many votes they lost when voters read the ballot form? Tory in “telling obvious lies” shock. They were at all week of their conference.

BTW the Justice Party got 13 votes. Is it time for him to give up?

So what was the 'controversy' about then? Was it anything to do with the editing errors that Duncan Crow seemed to think were vital to the campaign? Congratulations to Geraint.
