How to beat the lib dems

One Labour blogger thinks he has the secret formula to bring us to our knees. He hasn't - but it's worth seeing what he has in mind.

The weakness in this advice is the weakness in most advice about taking on opponents: it assumes the opponents are rubbish (" they have an extremely small 'core vote', something like 2% of the population...they have very little core vote...").

But it isn't all stupid, and it might be worth keeping an eye on it. Don't leave a comment to tell him where he has got it wrong though.

The comments at the end of the article really expose the Labour Party for what they are. One writes:

I was once at an election count when the successful
candidate refused to shake hands with the acid faced and
vanquished liberal and led a chrous of "we beat the
Liberals" and they all ran off in a huff....

Compare this to my experience when I narrowly lost to Labour in the 2006 elections. Throughout the nail-biting count they were rude, abusive and one actualy pushed my wife out of the way becaue he wanted to get closer to the counting. However, I was decent enough to congratulate their victorious candidates for what was a hard-won and successful campaign.

The Labour Party attracts some real lowlife!

Does 'Tom Papworth (not verified)' mean that the identity isn't certain, the allegations aren't verified, or both?
I'm not sure that someone with an 'acid face' sounds like a good loser - I'm not sure I'd want to shake his hand, either - I might get corrupted or something.
And I'm not sure I'd congratulate a wife-pusher either - if the allegation's true. Funny way to react if it is.

Anonymous (not verified), if you're a Labour member, you're probably corrupted already. I'm not surprised that a loser (especially narrowly defeated) has an 'acid face', no matter which party s/he represents, but at least s/he offered his/her hand to congratulate the winner. But the Labourite was a bad winner, as s/he refused to shake the losers hand.
