So - horror of horrors - I lost and I lost pretty comprehensively. In fact the LDs got a bit of a kicking across this county as the Greens stole votes from us across the board. If it wasn't for the Green votes we would have won a number of extra seats. I hope every Green voter is reflecting on the fact that their hubris has served only the Tories - and the Tories really care about the environment. After all, Dave flew to the Arctic to prove it, didn't he? [WILL THIS DO? Ed.]
In the plus column, I have learned a huge amount, from canvassing to wholesaling and delivery networks in general. I have some pretty strong views on what we did wrong in the areas I was involved in which I hope to raise with the powers that be in coming days. I have also gained immense respect for the numerous people who gave everything, regrettably for little return this time around. It is heartening to be surrounded by people who really give a damn.
I have come to the conclusion that all political careers should start with failure, to dampen all future expectations. The best thing is when you see those Tories celebrating - is there a more odious sight than a happy Tory? - it really does sicken you and steel you to give it back twice over the next time.
