Elections, Politics and The Odd General Rant. Sunday, August 07, 2005. Not a lot else to say really. He should be remembered above all for Commons performance following the Scott Report above all else IMO; his finest hour for sure. Posted by Al at 1:36 PM. Saturday, August 06, 2005. That the bombings of those two cities was a terrible thing to do is something that is hard to argue against. But. was it worse than the alternative? On balance, probably not. Posted by Al at 8:03 AM.

New Jerusalem (old): March 2006
http://moretomethodism.blogspot.com/2006_03_01_archive.html
Elections, Politics and The Odd General Rant. Friday, March 24, 2006. Labour 1,819 (47.37%). BNP 1,216 (31.42%). Con 627 (16.20%). LDem 208 (05.38%). Lab maj. 603 (15.95%) over BNP. I think that counts as good news; Labour are up by about 600 votes from 2004, the BNP down by about 400. Turnout good for a local by-election. Posted by Al at 2:22 AM. Monday, March 20, 2006. We don't have patronage to give and we are not in the same position". Hah, hah, hah. Posted by Al at 3:33 PM. Posted by Al at 3:31 PM.

Elections, Politics and The Odd General Rant. Sunday, October 30, 2005. Not much to say really. An example of how an ordinary person can change the world forever. May she rest in peace. Posted by Al at 4:23 AM. Thursday, October 20, 2005. Not much to say that hasn't been said. Sort of. Posted by Al at 3:09 AM. Thursday, October 06, 2005. A lot of stuff happend in September apparently. In a totally random order. Is probably the biggest of September's electoral stories. But it's also the most covered s...

New Jerusalem (old): April 2006
http://moretomethodism.blogspot.com/2006_04_01_archive.html
Elections, Politics and The Odd General Rant. Monday, April 17, 2006. May I take a little time to point a few things out? That roughly a quarter of people have, do or. In other words, such a question really doesn't tell us much. it doesn't even give much of an indication of maximum possible support if. Perfectly for the party in question. What it does tell us though, is that 75% of the population will not. They are in many other European countries. Posted by Al at 8:21 AM. Sunday, April 16, 2006. But I d...

Hughes's views on life, British politics, Europe and the relentless march of time. Saturday, June 10, 2006. Too hot to blog. And too busy, my new little job seems to be less 'part' and more 'time'. And there are metatarsals about which to fret. Posted by Hughes Views @ 9:17 am. Links to this post. Thursday, June 08, 2006. More on rightwing blogs. Posted by Hughes Views @ 9:23 am. Links to this post. Wednesday, June 07, 2006. Why right-wingers blog so nicely. The relative success of rightwing blogs compar...

About Whose News?: December 2005

Hughes's views on life, British politics, Europe and the relentless march of time. Saturday, December 31, 2005. Doomed but not gloomy. The Guardian’s review section has a profile of James Lovelock. To the Guardian have found many reasons to be cheerful not all of them ironic. The Independent’s. Why not the 196th for example? Posted by Hughes Views @ 5:34 pm. Links to this post. Friday, December 30, 2005. Fings ain't what they used ter be. Piece is relatively upbeat having a justified pop at the Americans...

New Jerusalem (old): February 2006
http://moretomethodism.blogspot.com/2006_02_01_archive.html
Elections, Politics and The Odd General Rant. Tuesday, February 21, 2006. Question: Is it still possible to buy yourself a seat in the Commons? Willie Rennie says YES! Spending over 70,000 on a by-election campaign should NOT be legal (and I couldn't care if other parties have or haven't spent similer amounts in the past; this isn't partisan bitching) and the current 100,000 limit for by-elections is just a sick joke. Posted by Al at 4:10 AM. Bad news from Mexico. Hopes fade for 65 trapped miners. Ah fee...

Elections, Politics and The Odd General Rant. Tuesday, January 24, 2006. Canada 2006: Analysis part I. Part One; the Atlantic. Once again the Liberals took all four ridings and took over 50% in all of them. Not much else to say really. The Liberals managed to put up a strong defense here and somehow managed to avoid losing any seats (and in a province in which they were wiped out in in 1997! Posted by Al at 7:49 AM. And the results are in. But to what extent is this a Harper victory? Not much; despite ev...

New Jerusalem (old): July 2005
http://moretomethodism.blogspot.com/2005_07_01_archive.html
Elections, Politics and The Odd General Rant. Saturday, July 30, 2005. Hard to believe that the IRA really *has* decided to stand itself down. although the political advantages of doing so were pretty clear for Sinn Fein (ie: REAL political power) I'd always been pessimistic and assumed that the oldies on the Army Council would carry on with nostalgia for the "good" old days. Posted by Al at 12:12 PM. Tuesday, July 26, 2005. Although the pollsters had been predicting a Labour landslide throughout the ele...
