Dave Must Be Spitting Feathers

Interesting move. He didn't need to resign as MP, could have just changed party. Seems a reasonable thing to do though, under the circumstances.
Got a majority of 12000 according to his wikipedia page. -
majority or not it is a tory safe seat not a vote for Douglas Carswell i'd imagine.
..a slap in the face for Dave thoughComment

Another side to it: Can I have my free golliwog now? asks Carswell“Brexit is having a wee in the middle of the room at a house party because nobody is talking to you, and then complaining about the smell.”Comment

A politician resigns on principle and is prepared to put it to the voters.
A wonderful contrast to the appalling set in Rotherham.
Salute Mr Carswell!Comment

A re-election should be mandatory when changing parties, you have to applaud him for doing so. 'Call me Dave' must be bricking itComment

I have a different take: the guy is too minor to make a difference by himself and lacks the balls to stand up and say he disagrees with the Cabinet, so let's change hats and make sure everyone knows who I am. Unless he is an exceptional constituency MP - and most of his constituents won't know who the hell he is - he'll get smacked by the safe seat vote and disappear. If that happens, and it's the way to bet, Dave will be delighted that UKIP are having another egg-on-face moment.Blog? What blog...?Comment

I had a bit of banter with Carswell on Twitter and he spat the dummy when I accused his government of being spineless perhaps he was really feeling the same thing, hence the over-reaction.Last edited by ZARDOZ; 28 August 2014, 13:29.Comment
