First by-election possible in Norwich North
Ian Gibson MP has resigned to spend more time with his family money so there may be a byelection in Norwich North. The atmosphere in Parliament these days is probably not much fun.
I believe that, because he was Labour Party, Gordon Brown gets to choose when to hold the by-election.
Oh goody. I hope he sends Tom Watson over to manage it, now he has the time on his hands, because I really love going over those anti-blogger leaflets he made when he ran the Hartlepool byelection campaign in 2004 before overstepping the mark.
There’s an informative set of comments about the Norwich North constituency spanning several years here.
Norwich is a nice place to visit. Good beer. I wish it was a rural constituency, because the distribution pattern of leaflets would be more interesting. A densely populated area is too easy to cover with each round.
We need to advertise TheStraightChoice there by delivering leaflets. But it’s not like a normal leaflet drop — maybe five leaflets per street. Getting uploads is not like getting votes. You don’t need too many.
I mean, like a 1% vote for a candidate would make him a real loser, but 1% of people uploading leaflets would be phenomenal.
Maybe if there was another leaflet uploading website, we’d have to fight over who got most of the people’s uploads first. But then again, it’s the internet, and we’d simply steal from each other’s databases. The data doesn’t belong to us anyway.
