Those who voted for the Christian Party in Yorks and N. Lincs can feel truly proud.The Christian, UKIP, Number 2 candidate fell a mere 13,ooo votes short of gaining the sixth and final seat - around 1%.
The Christian Party however, earned a derisory 16,000 votes in total - but if they had all voted intelligently - UKIP would have triumphed!
[You could see this coming - see earlier posting!]
No direct link - certainly, but I do hope that all such voters will reflect on the fact that had those votes been cast sensibly as a protest, the BNP COULD NOT HAVE GAINED A SEAT!!
No credit to those voting for the other minute parties who also must accept a lesser but still significant part of the blame.
UPDATE!
If my arguments in Yorkshire are dismissed - they cannot be so on the other side of the Pennines.
The situation was even worse in the North West Region where again the BNP gained a seat, and where there was at least one Christian candidate in the UKIP list and the margin of failure for the UKIP 2nd seat was just 1,200 votes!
