No surprise there then, and they only managed 1.9% of votes.<br /> Why is this? Well in the majority it's due to them only being supported by people like "Anonymous" above.<br /><br /> He sees anyone with a different political view as an enemy, has no method of disputing the facts I post. He is such a scared little man that he resorts to name calling and pretending to report to the police people who post facts about Mebyon K on the internet.<br /><br />I mean really, is that any use in promoting a political party? <br /><br />He even resorts to lies, laughable easily disproved lies. He once claimed that he had reported me to the police for "racism" as I had "referred to the Cornish as English", except when I asked him to quote or link to where I had done it, he couldn't. And when I asked him for the police job number so I could turn myself in for this heinous crime, he refused to share it.<br /><br />I even went to the local cop shop and asked if there were any complaints made about me, or any issues raised about me, and, after the Sergeant checked the Devon and Cornwall database, he was able to assure me there were not! We had a damn good chuckle about the allegations, and the officer promised to update me if there were any made.<br /><br />So there you have it, who would you believe? A person who posts verifiable facts about a political party, or a fantasist who brings nothing to the debate but personal slurs, accusations and outright lies?<br /><br />If you want any indication of why Mebyon Kernow are utter failures, and will ever remain so, ask yourself, this; "Would I vote for a party promoted in the way "Anonymous" portrays it above?"<br /><br />After you've finished laughing, call the Cornish English and see if he reports you to the police.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00977239084594719901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1121995509848874.post-48517586422849219202015-05-10T00:22:39.921+01:002015-05-10T00:22:39.921+01:00The 2015 election was a fraud I will never vote ag...The 2015 election was a fraud I will never vote again, Cameron is an idiot.<br />How can so many people want UKIP ten at the election they don't even get near<br />the conservatives.<br />IT WAS RIGGED AND WE ALL KNOW IT.

Then let the candiates for those parties be selected according to those with the highest proportion of the votes in their borough.
