I’ve just got back from the verification of votes cast in today’s European election. They won’t actually be counted now until Sunday night, but I’d just like to take this opportunity to thank all the local residents who came out to vote Conservative today, and the Conservative members and volunteers who have campaigned over the last month or so.
The turnout was 27.54%, for those who may be interested.
What a poor turnout..hardly the landslide expected in light of all the hype on the current expenses scandal.
It might be mindful to remember that all parties and mps are guilty by association, including the conservatives.
If an election were called now how could the conservatives reassure voters that their candidates would not later be identified as being caught up in the expenses debacle?
