Don't get me wrong, I was hoping the BNP would get less than 1% of the vote - but I think this PR voting system has been brilliant for local politics. It's exposed our "nasty little secret" - that up until a month ago the politicos & chattering classes tried to ignore & brush under the carpet.
And yes Sir Richard, all of us who care about this country, care about our way of life here, care about democracy, will "now" have to spend the next five years working to make sure the fascists are not returned. But that's a good thing isn't it?
So PR across our "whole" voting system I say!! Because then, apathetic smug local politicians will have to work & fight "so much harder" for our region!!
