Its been a long hard campaign and at the end of it all 7,500 of you voted for Labour, and even more voted to Stop Cameron. It was always going to be a tough job – but we have done our cause proud.
An apology that our electronic campaign was not as intensive as one might have liked but it seems clear from the post-election analysis that this was very much a TV and street campaign.
Personally I am delighted to have seen the turnout go up across the country – and in Witney itself. I have felt warm by the reception we have received on the streets in the towns and villages of West Oxfordshire, and I am inspired by the youth of our communities – who give me hope for the future of our country.
Sadly the local Tories didn’t let candidates speak which meant I didn’t get the opportunity to say thank you’s in public so here goes.
My thanks go to Duncan my agent, Chris and Jane Johnson, Duncan Enright, Andrew Coles, John and Alfreyth Gittings, Gina Burrows, Rob Evans, Mick Enright, David Hayes, and all the people who helped out.
As we enter the next few days – we are imminently approaching a coalition – and it seems that the message vote Lib Dem – get Tory might have only been too close to the bone after all.
If so this will deny us a progressive response to the economic crisis – and to future of our public services.
During the hustings Mr.Cameron said “We are all in this together”. Now is the time to prove it. This site will be maintained to scrutinize his decisions. Equally anyone who wants to continue the Stop Cameron blog – please feel free to get in touch.
Have a look at a website I designed and hosted (and wrote the content) for another political candidate… http://votemarkfrance.org/
