But I'M The Labour Candidate The Law Does Not Apply To Me
I had a run in with Kerry McCarthy when she was advocating giving Somali asylum seekers the vote in her constituency 'just like Obama did'. A quick check with the Electoral Commission confirmed that she was getting pretty close to electoral fraud last year.
So this year the former solicitor decided to cross the Legal line altogether
She is either-
A) Very Stupid
B) Deliberately breaking the Criminal Law to protect 'her job'
C) Does not believe that the Law applies to her, just the little people
Whether you pick A,B or C or all three, she is not fit to represent Bristol in Parliament.
Will she be prosecuted to the full extent of the Law- on past form under our Stasi State very unlikely, after May 7th lets see how much 'change' we get, or will it be business as usual for the political elite.
According to section 66A of the Representation of the People Act, publishing the details of a count can lead to a fine or a prison sentence of up to six months.

Libertarian Party Manifesto 2010
We have seen much of the big three party's manifesto pledges. To this end I submit for review the Libertarian Party manifesto. Please note that you can compare this manifesto by carrying out a search for your party's name along with the terms manifesto and the year.
If the views presented are more to your liking perhaps you should contact the party, donate, become involved or a combination of all of the three!
In a country where we are individuals having choice is important. We should be aware of the decisions our representatives are making, the impact they have not just on our lives but that of all people and ensure our voices are being heard.

When Dinosaurs Ruled The Earth
Apologies for the late comment on yesterday's Daily Politics show with this delectable washed up hack Mr Andrew Neil (61). Pictured here with yet another young lovely not the one that had previously been photographed with wearing a baseball hat that Private Eye repeatedly reprinted.
Anyway, the disgust that this hack produced yesterday has led to a glut of membership applications and donations to our tiny and irrelevant party in the last twenty four hours.
Neill and the BBC do not understand the meaning of 'Public Service Broadcasting' for which the BBC has a charter and the ability to enforce a TV tax to pay for itself. Neill felt that it was not his task to question Mounsey on his party's policies, but to play the man himself, attacking his blog. The wee balding scotsman is not fond of anybody who has any association with public schools, so Mounsey was never going to be off to a good start.
This morning Chris has deleted his blog, and has made a personal decision to tone down the visceral anger that has been his trademark.
Unlike the rest of the BBC, professional politicians and Neil himself sucking off the teat of the public purse, the members of the Libertarian Party are committed amateurs. We cannot afford to have our real jobs and lives threatened by those who feel threatened by having been caught fleecing the public purse in 'Rotten Parliament' and in the BBC.
Neill appears in another show were he sits around chuckling with the hypocrite Diane Abbott and the ever bizarre Portillo. If these three are what the BBC thinks represents politics no wonder forty per cent of the population don't vote, and the rest are utterly disillusioned with what is on offer, including the sterile 'Leaders' debate tonight.
Dinosaurs ruled the earth once, they do not do so now as they were unable to adapt to a new reality.

Cameron A Halfway House Libertarian?
Where a libertarian party would simply decree that it is for the individual to build a strong family, get their children into a good school and find work, Cameron's conservatism wants to actively help people secure those three fundamental building blocks of the good life.
Tim Montgomerie
Yes, it is the Libertarian Party's belief that it is upto you to build your family, get the best education and get work. It is nothing to do with a raft of Quangocrats,Social Workers and politicians setting targets. All of these have removed tesponsibility from the family, along with crushing taxes that would make it financially easier.
Cameron has already stated infront of his party conference, that he does not lead a Libertarian Party. I don't want to be a partner in Government, I do not want to govern anybody else.
I do want Government off my back

Libertarian Party Leader On 'BBC DAILY POLITICS' Wednesday 14th April
Fresh from the bearpit that was 'The Big Question' on BBC last Sunday (available on BBC iPlayer) Chris Mounsey is on the Daily Politics Show tomorrow Wednesday 14th.
Hopefully there will not be a member of the medical profession on the programme as per last Sunday who said 'I'm a Libertarian too, but I want everything banned' (paraphrasing a bit there I know)
Chris will be putting forward the proposition that the State should get out of our lives.
Appeal For Funds
I would like to thank everybody members,supporters and non members for their financial support over the last week, however we have to up our income significantly over the next few weeks to support our candidates.
PLEASE DONATE WHAT YOU CAN

Death Of A Democratic Liberal Nation
General Election Turnout
1992 77.7%
1997 71.4%
2001 59.4%
2005 61.4%
Source UKPolitical Info
Percentage share of the Total Electorate that voted Labour in 2005 21%
Source Railings & Thrasher
Labour Party 35.3% of the Vote 356 seats 55% of total seats
Conservative 32.3% of the Vote 198 seats 31% of total seats
Lib Dems 22.0% of the Vote 62 seats 9% of total seats
Other 8.0% of the Vote 30seats 5% of total seats
Nearly 40% of our fellow citizens are not likely to vote in 2010 because of apathy,ignorance or they are disenfranchised.
If you live in a 'safe' seat and your vote is largely an irrelevance.
These depressing statistics show that we cannot pretend to be a democratic nation, we are an oligarchy. Yesterday Clegg came to Bristol. Big Poster on a truck, swarm of journalists, not one voter! He said with a straight face that he expected to be in No 10 to an open mouthed BBC reporter.
He is lying to himself, to the camera and to the voters and he should hang his head in shame. He knows he will never march into Whitehall under FTP because it is rigged in favour of the big two.
Clegg does not understand the zeitgeist and is weaker for it. He has already flunked his historic destiny for himself and his party.
Stop pretending that the Lib Dems are anything other than 'kingmakers' and set out your stall for proportional representation and an end to this squalid excuse of a gerrymandered 'Representative Democracy', these opportunities only come along once every forty years. Ashdown was conned by Blair, and Clegg has clearly learned nothing from the experience.
All three parties are quibbling over Tax, the real issue is Constitutional Reform, I have never seen such depression in the public and the minor parties, knowing that no matter how hard they try and how much money is spent it will make very little difference to the Political Elite. The Rotten Parliament is about to be replaced by the squalid Parliament, full of party placemen, and with precious little mandate and legitimacy from the Electorate.

Libertarian Party Endorsed Candidate Surges To Third Place In The Betting Stakes
Ladbrokes comprehensive betting on the General Election website for many constituencies and they appear to be giving David Kirwan the best odds for any Independent or fringe Party. They are consistently giving UKIP, Greens & BNP throughout the 649 constituencies 100/1. In both Wirral South & Wallasey UKIP is on 100/1.
David Kirwan is an independent endorsed by the Libertarian Party
In Wirral West the betting is….
Conservatives 1/10
Labour 5/1
DSK 50/1
Liberal Democrats 100/1
UKIP 100/1
Jury Team 100/1
David appears to be the only Independent or fringe Party etc ahead of the Liberal Democrats anywhere? This is a great opportunity to break the political mould and elect an Independent.
David Kirwan's website is www.davidkirwan.co.uk
