You were the one who said in your blog that Sean should not have stood.

Incidently, Duncan, Chipping Barnet Lib Dem’s letter in this weeks Barnet Times, makes you look daft. I would not be happy if I were you.

Using the ALDC top candidate method distorts the result for the Green as they only fielded one candidate in May. It makes them appear to loose vote share. The reality is that they didn't. It also distorts the result for a party where one candidate in a three candidate election has a large personal vote. No method is without flaws. There are different ways to calculate the percentages.

I have been on the internet.

I find he stood in a by election in Woodhouse ward in Barnet(not local there)

A by election, which he won in Mill Hill – not a local there either.

A GLA seat in enfield – not local there.

The Chipping Barnet constituency, twice (yes he was local)

Now if that is not someone trying to be a professional politican.

No doubt the next by election in Barnet, up will pop up Sean, your friendly local candidate.

actually, three things, when u repeat what u have been told before on this blog re insults.

If u dont want anon statements on here, block them – but hardly democratic.

Bit like the secret ballot really.

Two things. You know you have lost the argument when:

1) You resort to cheap insults

2) You don’t have the guts to say who you are
