Turnout was terrible considering all the attention it must have got. I wonder if the mobile phone mast stuff cost the Lib Dem (she works for a mobile phone company and it was alleged she is involved in promoting them). Secretlondon
being elected an MP with just 7,451 votes it quite pathetic. But i note RESPECT retained their deposit!!! Morwen - Talk 00:30, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC) (wondering when the last time four parties got more than 5% each at any English parliamentary election)
It will be sold as a great victory comrade ;) When are we expecting Leicester btw? Secretlondon 00:34, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)
No idea. (If I'm at the computer it means I am not downstairs watching BBC News 24. :) ) I think they estimated about 2am. I think I should go to bed. A minute ago. Morwen - Talk 00:37, 16 Jul 2004 (UTC)

The fraud that was a part of this election really needs to be covered. —Christiaan 16:12, 7 May 2005 (UTC)

I don't understand why the word 'dirty' is included in the description of the Labour campaign. Surely these two examples are perfectly legitimate in elections that choose, not only a party with policies (i.e. Lib Dems being 'soft' on crime) but an individual person (i.e. a person who works in an industry that people do not like). It's not as if they campaigned on her sexuality, gender or race.
