You're still in Lib Dem country by the way, in case you were worried. I know how you fret about these things Title: Local elections: Adver unearth vote rigging scandal? Post by: flammableBen on Friday, May 2, 2008, 00:41:47 Yay Stan Pajak won in my ward. And I voted for him. But I've won the argument that it didn't matter if I voted or not.

The Tory dude sent me one leaflet and he looked like a Ginger William Shatner. I got one poor home printer effort from labour, but they had no chance in eastcott. With no Green, I'm happy to live in the most sensible ward in Swindon.
