Stand as indep...Legal trouble for joining a party?<br /><br />Stand as independent or Labour. I am not sure there was much of either standing in Burgess Hill. But what ever you do, either get involved in the process or don't whinge about it... <br /><br />Yes I have heard things about the Burgess Hill Liberal Democrats. One of their defeated candidates did ask me why we had not taken out Graeme Knight. I apologised for the oversight! ;)Benedict Whitehttp://aconservatives.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21462026.post-35595604198549629302011-05-09T11:08:56.213+01:002011-05-09T11:08:56.213+01:00Hmmmm, lets see, why didn't I stand?
I won...Hmmmm, lets see, why didn't I stand?<br /><br />I won't join the Conservatives for reasons I can't state as I'd get into much legal trouble. I've heard enough about the top people in the Burgess Hill Lib Dems to make me not want to join them either.<br /><br />Not a single independent candidate or member of any party apart from the Cons or Lib Dems got on any council in Burgess Hill.<br /><br />It would have been stupid to throw away good money on cupious amounts of leaflets when it can be better spent on Chocolate Brownies.<br /><br />Thank you for your comment though Benedict, and be sure to keep on visiting Burgess Hill Uncovered, for as the Carpenters once sung <br /><br />'We've Only Just Begun.....'Burgess Hill Webteamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07669833558837724051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21462026.post-33446108103983076392011-05-09T00:00:21.306+01:002011-05-09T00:00:21.306+01:00How is it a bad night for democracy?

Are they not entitled to do that?<br /><br />If you are so dead keen, why don't you stand?

I still think ...Thank you for your lovely comment.<br /><br />I still think it was a bad night for democracy!<br /><br />As a website that enjoys all the controversy to come out of the council, it's going to be really rubbish for the next 4 years. Burgess Hill Uncovered needs some new moles!<br /><br />A wise man said to me last night that he felt the presence of a certain woman at the top of the Lib Dem chain in Burgess Hill was to blame, including her actions regarding the special school application and the public footpath closure. A sure-fire way to get people's backs up.<br /><br />The Lib Dems are a spent force locally, regardless of the national reputation.<br /><br />Here's a good motto:<br />'If you can't join them, BEAT them'<br /><br />What happens next?Burgess Hill Webteamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07669833558837724051noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21462026.post-31956095123445730962011-05-07T21:26:55.112+01:002011-05-07T21:26:55.112+01:00Far from being a bad night for local democracy it ...Far from being a bad night for local democracy it was a great day for democracy, Mid-Sussex and Burgess Hill.<br /><br />You claim the Lib Dems did not 'put the boot in'. Well they certainly tried to. They winged on about the 2007 (yes four years ago) big day which lost public money. In fact those responsible were probably officers not Councillors and they have all left the authority.<br /><br />They suggested that the Council was badly run when in fact it was praised by the last Audit Commission report.<br /><br />They made insinuations about various senior conservatives. None of them had any basis in truth.<br /><br />They complained about some Conservative candidates not living in the wards contested while fielding such candidates themselves.<br /><br />They promised to oppose various 'Tory plans' for housing developement which do not exist.<br /><br />At least one 'retiring' District and Town Councillor' told her ex-constituents that she was standing down to concentrate on her County Council responsibilities. Then she stood in another seat.<br /><br />I could go on but frankly it would become boring.<br /><br />Almost all of their leaflets just attacked their opponents and omitted to offer an alternative policy.<br /><br />They did not deserve to win and the electorates of Mid Sussex clearly saw through them and voted accordingly.Victoria Residentnoreply@blogger.com
