thedivinegoat: Welsh Flag Sheep dreaming of the Dreamwidth Icon (Dreamsheep - Wales)
I went to bed 3 hours ago and then gave it up as a bad job. Far too anxious about the by-election. I really, really hope Chris Davies gets voted out, fuck his smug, criminally fraudulent face.

I can't wait to have a female MP who's not part of the self-satisfied landowner tradition in this constituency, (really the last Lib Dem MP Roger Williams was just a Tory by another name) although I won't look forward to hearing all the casual misogyny that also gets thrown at Kirsty Williams (our AM)

It's been weird having all this focus on us, we're not North or South Wales, and generally when people talk about Mid Wales, they're talking about the coast - normally Aberystwyth. I can't remember ever having a candidate doorstopping on our road before, but this election we've had multiple visits from both Lib Dems and Torys. One from Chris Davis himself. I'd wanted to argue with him, but when I opened the door and wrangled the dog, I found myself so angry at everything his government has done, and everything he supports I ended up telling him "Don't bother, you're a convicted fraudster" and slamming the door in his face. How dare he come to my house and expect me to vote for him. (So angry I was shaking, this government has killed people and is going to kill more).

I can't even think about what it means for Brexit, it makes me sick. (I know people here who are really, really against Brexit but are voting for Chris Davies because the media has been unfair to him/ the Lib Dems have had their knives into him. Fuck them too)

Oh fuck I really hope he loses.

But I did giggle that the Returning Officer seemed to forget the english for the first four candidates.

And the Loonys beat UKIP.
