The Mayor of Doncaster

[Liability]

He was interviewed on Telly yesterday and he gave a very strong performance in front of a BBC interviewer. We only have the version of the interview given out by the person who interviewed him to go on.

in that case we need to search for the clues and analyse the facts- Clueso stylee! You dig?

Will you give me a lingering spitty kiss as I pass away? Oh please! Only to be reborn as Super Liability!

No, you cannot say that. It is what 11.75% of the people of Doncaster want.
It absolutley matters, he is an elected offical to head up a town with a budget and he doesn't know what powers he will have or what he can and can't do. It shows a basic failure of research on his part.

A turnout of 35% shows that the rest of the community did not care, but if he mucks around enough then people will.

Well at least in Doncaster their community leaders do not behave like your lot do

Don't be ridiculous man! This is CUK, so jumping to (usually extreme) conclusions based on wild speculation is more the in-house style.

As my English teacher used to say, never let the facts get in the way of a good argument!

Thats how it works. Majority rule and the people are allowed to elect a clueless idiot if they want to.
Each candidate offered a set of proposals and the people chose the one they liked best. That is it, end of.

On which planet is 11.75% a majority?. How can you think he has a mandate when so few of the electorate voted for him?

Which part of the "He got more votes than any other candidate." concept don't you understand?

On which planet is 11.75% a majority?.

A planet on which 88.25% of the population chose not to vote?

We are here talking about the mayor of Doncaster and you throw that in, you're like a petulant little child. Is that really your idea of debating?.

Which part of the "He got more votes than any other candidate." concept don't you understand?

Which part of "Nearly no one bothered to vote which means he doesn't have a mandate from the people" concept do you not understand?
