  1. Excellent!
    Now let’s get Michael Payne elected in the GE and clear Gedling of the one-rule-for-you-suckers-one-rule-for-us party.

  2. Great result Lynda. Hard work starts now. I’m sure you are up to the mark & will put people first. Look after the vulnerable & protect our rights. Many congratulations

  3. The turnout for the by-election was 36% ==> So, none of the above scored 64% of the vote. And it wasn’t because I couldn’t be bothered, just that they are all useless.

    • They are all useless? What leads you to that conclusion? Surely voting for whoever you feel is the least useless or least harmful would be prudent?
