Southport LibDems Hammered into Third Place

Although Labour increased its share of the vote in Southport it still came second.

The LibDems, perhaps recklessly, put up a virtually unknown out-of-town, candidate  (some jolly chap called ‘John Wright’). For their troubles, they were utterly battered into a very embarrassing third place.

Belief is also rife that after John Pugh MP stood down the LibDems were on a rocky path to doom. Defeated Southport LibDem parliamentary candidate, Sue McGuire, was roundly beaten previously by Damien Moore and later vanished from the political scene like scotch mist.

Locally it appears that the LibDems were hammered into third place, thanks to widely unpopular online efforts of some of their more vocally-abusive councillors. Residents were clearly not impressed with a few well-know councillors wasting all day trolling on internet forums (in their own names and under various aliases) with bizarre and abusive remarks aimed at anyone daring to question their inflated opinion.

Word on the street is that the LibDems will not recover from this bitter blow and that the milk and honey days of their arrogant local councillors disrespecting residents are numbered. The heated debacle at Kew was one such infamous example.

Labour, in contrast, is steadily gaining ground each year, so they may perhaps expect a Southport victory in the not too distant future.

Will they require someone other than their long-standing candidate, Liz Savage, to finally bring them a real parliamentary victory or will the party stay with her, as yet, unsuccessful lead? Doubts have also been aired by some residents following valid concerns over the shameful antisemitism crisis within the Labour Party that various politicians previously tried to unsuccessfully dismiss.

On the national scale – lacklustre party leaders Corbyn and Swineton are soon to be consigned to the dusty corners of the history books.

It seems that the public punished these unsuccessful leaders severely for the following unprofessional blunders:

Failure to get over a clear Brexit message (Labour)
Failure to honour the referendum vote and undemocratically dismiss leavers (LibDems)
Failure to deal properly with the ongoing in-house antisemitic crisis (Labour)
Failure to deal with the Leader’s unpopular links with terrorist factions (Labour)
Failure to deal with the Leader’s bumbling ways and their growing sense of self-importance (LibDems)
Failure to present their leaders as credible and vote-worthy in the media (both parties)

Labour and especially the Liberal Democrats have paid a heavy price. However, they can only blame their own self-righteousness and sheer contempt for the UK’s voters in this instance.

Neither party has acted truly democratically and paid the price – the rest is now history!

Southport’s MP may of course be wallowing in his pre-Xmas victory. Nevertheless, many local people are very critical. They believe that Moore won mainly because of the wider Brexit situation and not due to anything he claimed to have personally achieved for the resort. The national failures of the other leaders put Moore in power again and very little else!

Damien Moore MP – very poor showing in the People Power Index

Moore’s election win oddly seems to be in direct contrast to his latest index figures showing, however.

Southport’s MP came in at a pitiful 611 out of 650 MPs.

The question remains – what in fact has this MP ever really achieved for Southport?

Welcome to the new all singing/dancing ultra-blue Tory UK!

More sour political grapes?
