How Many Of You Have Been Election Candidates?
Have any of you ever been candidates in any kind of election?
I certainly have, from my first contest ( class rep to my high school’s debating society committee! ) then through university…
…where we fought the reds, and often won, for all the happy years I spent at my alma mater…
….and on into local government.
Some I won, some I lost.
Losing an election is never any fun, but you lick your wounds and get on with life
.
If you live in a democracy, there will always be another day, another fight.
What a contrast to that sleazy git Gillum, whom the voters of Florida almost chose as their state’s governor last year!
.

Media around the world have exposed the sordid saga of drugs and degenerate deviant frolics in the company of a ‘gay escort…’

..but what amazed me most is that Gillum appears to blame his troubles on ‘depression’ after (thanks be!) losing to his Republican opponent.
Inadequates of that sort…

…..should steer clear of politics.
If you can’t stand the heat!

Rather you than me, mate!
There are some honest politicians, as I am sure you were, and most of course are not sleazos like Gillum, but for the most part I have never been impressed with the examples I have bumped into

Stood in the UKIP cause 25 times – borough, county and general elections. Won none, but had a couple of close shaves, and came second in the 2015 GE.
