think it is fair to say that Pocock’s political success boils down to “free publicity”, not securing a seat in the EU, Ireland, or the UK.
He seems to have strategically chosen an election precinct that’s guaranteed to attract media attention. 33 other folks chose the same.
think it’s fair to say that the Clacton by-election became a feeding frenzy for people who knew entering would guarantee much media attention.
People who don’t live in Clacton entered.
There were people whose entire platform was satirical.
Even some of the policies were, in effect, jokes.
Some local media moaned that Clacton election turned the town/area into a “circus” or an international laughing stock.
ased on these results from the Clacton by-election, 7 candidates received fewer votes than Daniel Pocock.
We hoped he’d win hundreds of vote(r)s, but he got 16.
Daniel Pocock’s campaign did, however, attract a lot of press.
HAVE just reproduced the latest long post from Pocock.
“Daniel Pocock wins the award for the person who has travelled the longest distance to take part in this circus,” someone wrote some hours ago, he “as he gives an address in Australia.”
So what?
There is another Australian in there.
Official numbers (US debt):
am a bit frustrated having had to deal with bad men who act in bad faith and think that women are objects to abuse. When men confront them about this, instead of listening to them they will attack these men, too.
Society is getting worse. We’re heading back to a sort of “macho” patriarchy and technology is the instrument by which some “powerful” men lead this agenda.
Fight back. DO NOT BE PASSIVE ABOUT THIS.
