Results Day!

(May 7th)

Darling, I'm on the train. Bercow held Buckingham (as he would do) with 48% (down from 58% last year though) and John Stevens in second place on 22%. Farage, to my surprise, got 21%, which is fairly high for UKIP in a conservative constituency. Overall, pretty unsurprising. Did you really have to do a recount on that? It wasn't really worth waiting til 2.30 for (PM!)

So I read through them (again) and then failed (yet again) to be inspired by any of them.
