Election 2010: Battle for votes enters last 72 hours

0

Well it is nearly time for the people of England to get their voices heard, the tale of the polls is still putting the Tories in the lead but with the probability of a hung parliament.
All indicators are pointing toward a Con/Lib coalition if that happens, Labour looks like they will be hung out to dry. Some say it is nothing more than they deserve.
Will the coalition work? No one can really say.
From the BBC News Web site:

Labour, the Conservatives and Lib Dems are into the final three days of election campaigning as polls suggest the result is still in the balance.

The Tories are ahead in the polls but not by enough to get a majority – David Cameron says they will campaign through the night in a final push from Tuesday.

But Labour said the Tories “blew” their lead early on and have not won it back.

Gordon Brown, Mr Cameron and Nick Clegg are spending the bank holiday hitting key seats they hope to win on 6 May.

Three days before the closest election since 1992, an ICM/Guardian poll puts the Conservatives on 33%, Labour and the Lib Dems on 28% while a YouGov poll for the Sun puts the Tories on 34%, Lib Dems on 29% and Labour on 28% – which continue to point to a hung parliament.
We can win this election
John Denham
Communities Secretary

BBC News Channel chief political correspondent Laura Kuenssberg said despite the final TV debate and Mr Brown having to apologise after being overheard calling a pensioner “bigoted”, the polls had not really shifted over the past week.

In Blackpool on Monday, Mr Cameron said there was not “one ounce of complacency” in his campaign and pledged a through-the-night campaign in which he is expected to meet fishermen, bakers and florists who work in the early hours of the morning.

He said: “We’ve still got everything left to do. We are going to be campaigning incredibly hard in the last three days, including a 24-hour campaign from Tuesday night right through to Wednesday night, travelling the whole length and breadth of the country.”

On Sunday he said his party had the “momentum” – and was criticised by Labour’s Lord Mandelson who said Mr Cameron was “desperate to give the impression that he is home and dry” but in fact voters were “firmly resisting his soft soap campaign”.

Mr Brown is in Basildon, Essex on Monday morning while Mr Clegg is in Blackheath, south-east London.

Communities Secretary John Denham denied that Labour was fighting for second place in terms of the number of votes cast.

He told BBC Radio 4′s Today programme that the election would be decided “overwhelmingly” in Labour-held seats across Britain in which there were a “clear majority of people who don’t want a Conservative government on Friday morning”.

Minority government

If they recognised that voting Lib Dem could “let the Conservatives in” then Labour “can win this election on Thursday”, he said.

Conservative sources dismissed as “speculation” newspaper reports that Mr Cameron has ruled out a coalition with the Liberal Democrats, if his party fails to win enough seats to gain a working majority.
I think we’ve got some momentum now to go through these last few days
David Cameron

The Daily Telegraph and the Guardian both report that the Tory leader would attempt to form a minority government instead, with the support of Unionist MPs.

Senior Conservative sources, quoted in the Guardian, say Mr Cameron would set out his plans and “dare” Labour and the Lib Dems to provoke a second election this year by voting down the Queen’s Speech, planned for 25 May, or an emergency budget in July. The Conservative leader has not spoken publicly about any possible post-election deals, stressing instead his determination to win an outright majority on Thursday.

Equalities ‘contract’

The Conservatives are expected to set out plans later for new rules aimed at forcing listed companies to hire more female directors, proposals to close the gender pay gap and set up mentoring schemes for female and ethnic minority entrepreneurs.

In a “contract for equalities”, Work and Pensions spokeswoman Theresa May will say: “A Conservative government will use every lever to tear down the barriers that are holding too many people back. We will make Britain a fairer society for all.”
The Conservative Party will never reform the banks and rebuild our economy because they are completely in hock to the City of London
Nick Clegg

Labour leader Gordon Brown is also expected to stress his commitment to fairness as he hits the campaign trail in marginal seats.

The Lib Dems will turn their fire on the Conservatives later on Monday, claiming the party has become “nearly four times as dependent on the City of London” for its funding since Mr Cameron took over as leader.

Lib Dem leader Mr Clegg will say: “The Conservative Party will never reform the banks and rebuild our economy because they are completely in hock to the City of London.

“Only the Liberal Democrats have a positive plan to put money back in the pockets of ordinary people, close the unfair loopholes for people at the top and take on the banks so they never again hold a gun to our heads and put ordinary people out of work,” he will add.

Days after the final live TV debate, the three leaders will also all appear on the same platform again – although not at the same time – when they address a CitizensUK election “assembly” of about 2,500 people in London.

Each will speak for 10 minutes before taking questions from a panel about “civil society”.

Lets hope that you all make the right decision.
Do we really want another five years of Labour?
Will the Tories do a better job?
Will a coalition government ever work?
How will an independent candidate help my community?
Will a small party help my family have a better life?
Many questions that you have to ask yourself, and only you can give the answers to them.
The Warrior’s only advice, and favour I ask of all you English Patriots out there is this.
Please vote English Mp’s.
Vote with your heart. Vote for your country. Vote for England.

The Election Is Upon Us, What Shall We Do

Now it is that time, where the people of England can choose for their future.
Think carefully at this time and do not conform to what you are indoctrinated to do.

Do not vote out of habit for the same party as you always done based on their lies (promises) on what they offer, or because your family always has voted for them and you are following suit.

My advice is to weigh up what each candidate in your are can offer your area, the place that you live will be effected more than you know by the cuts etc that the parties want to push after the elections.

Weigh up what the local MP and his party will offer you in your area and what their party will offer to make life a little more bearable. If your candidate is an independent see what he is offering to fight for to make your area more bearable to life for your family.

Remember they need your vote more than you need them, make sure any promises they make on the doorstep you get in writing before polling day.

You also may not like the party but your local MP has been seen to do a lot of work to better your community, get his next projects in writing so they can not renege on their promises for your vote.

If you feel strongly about something discuss, get assurances in writing, then decide. Whether or not you vote for that person, if they get in you have it on paper what they promised to do.

Ukip poster campaign says it all, but can they offer an alternative?

The manifestos of the big three, the local parties and independents will be coming out over the next week or so, read them and get to know what they are offering. Then decide on what is best for you and your family not what your parents etc expect.

Summarise what they offer and question the candidates when they come round on specific points that mean something to you. Do not be taken in by the hype they are projecting in the run up to the elections, false promises will be abound.

The Warrior will not be voting Labour, they have destroyed this country, all the money blown through the last few years shoring banks, equates to more than the people of England owe. They should of helped the people not the banks, the strongest would of survived and would have kept the banking economy rising back to former strengths. They decided to abandon the people many have lost jobs, money homes and dignity, but the chancellor and prime monster and their constituencies fared the recession well, where as the rest of us and England did not.

You do not have to take my word for any of this posting, it is my thoughts based on what I see is happening to my beloved england.

The only thing I hope is Labour is ousted, and a new era is heralded for England and her people, but at the end of the day the choice is yours.

Good luck people and may your heart and minds guide you to the right decision on the day of polling.

Michael Johnson English Democrat.

Although the warrior agrees with some of the English Democrats and what they are standing for, I had trouble warming to someone who had such a strange back ground.

Michael Johnson  Rossendale and Darwen candidate for the English Democrats has had a chequered past after a stint with The English First Party, a far right party from the North of my great land.

Here is a piece about Mr Johnson from the Manchester Evening News.


Election 2010: Michael Johnson (English Democrat)

Michael Johnson is standing as English Democrat candidate for the Rossendale and Darwen constituency. Here, he describes his policies and achievements:

I am a Darwen lad from a Darwen family who has lived and worked most of my life in and around Darwen. I am married to my wife Jacqui and we have two teenage sons aged 18 and 16. I am the current councillor for the Fernhurst ward representing the English Democrats.

I had little interest in politics because I did not think any political party really represented the views of the people.

I felt they were only interested in your vote so their party could be in charge. My interest in politics came because of my concern for my country, England. I became angry with politicians who cared less and less about the rights of the English people they are suppose to represent.

They have been systematically destroying the fabric of England by attacking our heritage, our culture, our identity and our right to stand up and be proud of saying: “I am English.”

I for one say enough is enough.

I will fight for my country, my fellow countrymen and women.

I will fight against the repressive regime of the EEC. I will fight the lunatic political PC brigade and I will fight for the right to have a political voice of our own by creating an English parliament for English MPs.

We are here to give voice to the silent majority.

England has a proud history and a great future. We are not politically correct nor would we ever want to be, England expects us all to do our duty.

It is time to act! Never voted before? Not voted for a long time?

It is time for change, Michael Johnson is the candidate for you and the English Democrats are the party who will make the changes. The time is now! Help us make the changes by voting for Michael Johnson and the English Democrats.

“There is a forgotten, nay almost forbidden word, which means more to me than any other. That word is England.” – Sir Winston Churchill


So the Warrior decided to comment on the piece to see if Mr Johnson would answer questions.
Are you the same Michael Johnson who was involved with the England First party, the far right fascist party which entertained holocaust deniers and people from combat 18 and national front, Cotterill . Also had liaisons with Rushton the fervent holocaust denier and member of the BPP, who wants to repatriate all non white residents in Britain. If so how come you have never apologised for this involvement and are you bringing your far right views to this party you are representing now?http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England_First_Party, So you are standing now for a new party after you fell out with Coterill.

And his responses were.
English Warrior, Yes you are correct i was involved with EFP but never a member. If you are so well informed you will also have the ability to post why i fell out wit EFP and left them after 7 months. You should also be aware of my interviews on the Politics today show and the Sunday politics show where a pannel of senior members of the house of commons agreed with what i had to say. i stood for EFP in the 2006 elections on my own principles and won on them, as an English Nationalist. As far as the white power and all the rest of that stuff, it might come as a bit of a shock to you but have a look at my photograph and work out if i am olaf the viking warrior. You have the right to try and smear any candidate or cause questions to be asked but you also have the right to do your homework and relate the truth. In this case i can make it easy for you. Go to the Lancashire Telegraph and look up the reson why i left EFP in 2007 which is nearly 3 years ago!! For any one who is reading this blog. Yes i represented EFP on local matters but fell out with the party because of the views of some of the membership, i have served the English Nationalist cause for many years and my views are on public record. When attacked in the council because i commented on immigration i was given a signed pettition from over 50 members of the Asian community in Darwen including the local Mulla, supporting me and defending me against the comments made against me in council. So English Warrior work it out for your self as i and the thousands of supporters i actually have in Darwen dont need to! they dont take on board smear campaigning especially on well worn matters which are now over 3 years old and many many council meetings later. Please come up with something relevent to the work i have done! or if you can find any comments on work i have not done for my community. Thank you Michael Johnson. Councillor Fernhurst Ward.

And.
Yes you are correct i was elected for EFP but i was never a member. I was elected for my stance on local politics and local government. What you have not mentioned is the fact that i fell out with the party after less that 7 months because of the direction the party was taking by some of the membership. I am aware of your attempt to smear me with this information but unfortunatly it is very old hat and has been kicked about that much i dont care anymore what people like you post. The fact is English Warrior, (a verry Anglo Saxon sounding user name by the way)! all you have to do is look at my photograph and work it out for your self if i am Olaf the great Viking Warrior from over the sea. If you would like to attack me please feel free to do so! on the flip side please come to Darwen and i will introduce you to the local Darwen mulla who is by the way a supporter of mine, we can then take a stroll round the town and you can meet many members of the Asian community who also support me. That must be why they signed a pettition in support of me against comments made by Labour and Liberal councillors at full council. If this is not enough information you can check the LET and look up why i left EFP after 7 months. Just to help you a little more watch the Politics today show and the Sunday Politics Show where you will see a cross party panel of senior members of the house of commons who all agreed with what i was saying. So with respect could you please refrain from giving only part of what you deem to be a story when it is infact nothing more than a very ill and uniformed bit of gutter press designed to do nothing more than smear the candidate using only your interpritation of events that you actually cant even get right. Keep the faith and see you in Asgard. Michael Johnson, Pc and councillor for Fernhurst ward Darwen.

My answer.
Fair comments, I am happy to see a prospective candidate who is honest, it was not an attempt to smear you just to see what calibre of person you are. It seems you are an English Nationalist, not a Ethnic Nationalist I hope, which is good in my book. Well done for being truthful and showing a honest character.

The reason he left the English First party can be found here.
England First pair quit party

BOTH England First councillors for Blackburn with Darwen are leaving the far-right party.

Coun Michael Johnson, who represents Fernhurst, will tonight quit to join the new party For Darwen, created last week.

And Coun Mark Cotterill, who represents Meadowhead, will stand down as a councillor and leader of party at the local elections on May 3.

It comes less than a year after the England First Party gained the seats on the council.

Coun Johnson said he had told Coun Cotterill three weeks ago of his plan to quit because he did not like the direction the party was taking, and had felt out of the loop.

Coun Cotterill said his own resignation was down to moving to Preston where he had a job outside politics.

His spokesman said the timing of the pair’s resignations were “just a coincidence”.

He denied that Coun Cotterill was leaving because he did not see a future for the party on the council without Coun Johnson.

The pair fell out publicly in December after Coun Cotterill posted a link from the party’s website to a YouTube video that depicted Jesus making an offensive hand gesture and hurtful remarks about Islam.

Coun Johnson said he found the material offensive but Coun Cotterill said the video was amusing.

Coun Johnson said: “I feel that with For Darwen I am going back to my roots.

“Fernhurst might be in Lower Darwen but to say Lower Darwen is in Blackburn is like calling a pheasant a peacock.

“I think we will be able to achieve more than England First could have.”

Both Coun Johnson and Coun Cotterill were elected in May 2006 and the party was immediately labelled racist after details of its manifesto, which had included banning non-white footballers from the England squad, were revealed.

This I knew, I was just seeing how honest the man would be if questions was asked about his past.
He, in the Warriors book, answered honestly and candidly, and that is one of the things we all want from a politician.
The Warrior also thinks, that if he has learnt from his past deserves serious consideration from a character point of perspective, all it boils down to is if you agree with his policies.
So to Michael Johnson if you ever read this, I think you’re of good character to show honesty in your answers. And from one Englishman to another, good luck in your campaign, and keep up the work fighting for England. And always tell the truth or it will crop up at unwanted points in your life.
