Looking at it, if we add our vote and the Workers' Power character's vote together, we get about the vote last time, so maybe those 109 Drinkall got are left reformists who voted for us in 2005.
It will, of course, be interesting to compare with our council election votes.

ReplyDeleteI thought Workers Power would beat the SPGB. (And I'm sure Workers Power thought they would as well.)
ReplyDeleteGlad to say that we were both proven wrong.
Congratulations to everyone involved in the SP's campaign. Good work.
ReplyDeleteJust to say thanks for the blog. I'm not in agreement with the SPGB on everything but have found reading it really interesting. Thanks again...!
ReplyDeleteHats off (from a WSM onlooker in Japan) to the great effort by Dan and everyone else involved. I wish I could have been in London to help out too.

Good to see your in good humour,rather than those candidates less magnanimous will be.As we did not expect to rock the world.
ReplyDeleteWell you all can put away the electrol paraphernalia but not the banner,for that will have to be dusted off,for use, in the not to distant future.
Well, watch out! The English Democrats are coming! The EngDems have still beaten both SPGB and A-WP even if they were put together!
ReplyDeleteThis is another case of factionalism dividing the hard left movement. You may be cheese off the same block, but we all know that cheddar crumbles easier than camembert... May I refer you to a similar article on my blog and the state of factionalism in Australia? I will anyway:
