A mould breaking election result in Henly where news that the Greens emerged as a credible third party behind the Conservatives and Lib. Dems. must have lifted the spirits of all Old Labour supporters.

Sadly for those of us who have supported the only truly left wingnut party for the last two decades there was no breakthrough for the Official Monster Raving Loonies. Three party politics survives a little longer.

Still we hope for great things in Haltemprice, former constituency of arch-Thatcherite Alan B'Stard.

(Let's see if that jogs a few memories)
