The Libdems down here are Labour by any other name, and with our high percentage of pensioners, public service employees and benefits dependents, the result really was a foregone conclusion. If there really had been any &#39;green shoots&#39; over the last 6-12 months, you (and the Tories nationally) would have walked it.<br /><br />You have, too, had to suffer the additional handicap of the local Tory administration. Inept doesn&#39;t even begin to describe them.<br /><br />I and many, many people in the Bay wish you well for the future.<br /><br />SueAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385595.post-6991441443777179492010-05-07T20:36:01.159Z2010-05-07T20:36:01.159ZWhat can I say Marcus?

Definitely not the sort of MP we need. The undecideds probably still haven&#39;t decided, so they need to see YOU out and about doing your bit, right up to the last minute today.<br /><br />Also not a good idea to have a picture of the current Tory administration at the town hall - they&#39;re like a millstone around your neck. <br /><br />Good luck in any case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385595.post-4021772695482891192010-05-01T22:40:30.550Z2010-05-01T22:40:30.550Zwith a bit of luck it would be nice to have a tory mp in torbay because the tory party is good change i hope a lot of people vote for marcus to be mp he will be a great mp aswellAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385595.post-32327123438181991022010-04-22T17:29:29.463Z2010-04-22T17:29:29.463ZI stand by what I said <br />Just so there is no confusion, the three most important articles in the Lisbon Treaty are:<br />1) &quot;The Union shall have a single legal personality&quot;. (In other words it will be a country, or Superstate, in its own right);<br />2) &quot;The laws of the Union shall have supremacy over the laws of the member states&quot; and<br />3) &quot;It will be for an unlimited period&quot;. (In other words it will be for ever.)<br />It is also self-amending and there will be no need for any further treaties.<br />It is important to emphasize that the British Government (including the Conservatives) have ratified the<br />Lisbon Treaty without giving the British people the referendum that they were promised.<br />Had that occurred this debate would not be happening at all !<br /><br />Ian Walsh Torbay UKIPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385595.post-24653844982380064042010-04-22T14:12:30.279Z2010-04-22T14:12:30.279ZSorry, Ian, that is not quite right. The UK Parliament has premacy over the EU.<br /><br />The EU may well make up new rules but in law we Brits have to write them into our statute books before they have legal force in the UK.<br /><br />If the European Union proposed any new rules which involve a further loss of power we have pledged not to write them into British Law (and thus make them binding in Britain) without asking the British public in a referendum.<br /><br />The EU debate needs to be accurate, otherwise people will lose faith in all sides.Marcus Woodhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13540289778100132614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385595.post-62137383460702064502010-04-22T12:52:33.140Z2010-04-22T12:52:33.140ZTypo<br /><br />1st paragraph<br />decisions/conclusions <br /><br />Ian WalshAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6385595.post-51434532566578241622010-04-22T12:41:22.900Z2010-04-22T12:41:22.900ZDavid Cameron said in Torbay on the 21st<br /> <br />&quot;step 7. is important, we should remember as politicians that we are sent to parliament yes to make divisions/conclusions etc, we are not sent to parliament to give away powers that belong to you the people<br /> <br />So step 7 is to never ever again to pass power from Westminster to Brussels or anywhere else without asking people in a referendum first&quot;<br /> <br /> <br /> <br /> <br />I will keep this short because it is easy to understand even by the most &#39;blue of conservative&#39;s&#39;<br /> <br />Cameron is being economical with the truth...
