They are, after all, a private individual, not a representative of a public-facing company, and are not breaking any laws. It is purely a private opinion (and good advice IMO). As for the comments on "wasted votes", that, and the result itself, are symptomatic of our first-past-the-post system. Effectively, non-Tories in seats like Fareham and New Forest East have, and never have had in modern times, any political representation. Would be much better to move to larger constituencies (e.g. "South Hampshire") with 10 MPs, divided proportionally. That way, we'd end up with something like 5 Tories, 3 Labour and 2 Lib Dem (guess; don't know exact results) rather than the 8 Tory and 2 Labour we have currently in the Southampton/Portsmouth area.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-28813138180671512442019-12-14T20:40:57.446+00:002019-12-14T20:40:57.446+00:004 out of 24 suggestions for tactical votes finishe...4 out of 24 suggestions for tactical votes finished 3rd - oh dear - and 21 one of the constituencies are so blue no amount of tactical voting would have an effect - try sticking to buses<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-80377306200693763332019-12-14T20:37:30.213+00:002019-12-14T20:37:30.213+00:00It will be 4498 next timeIt will be 4498 next timeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-36327125153978068562019-12-14T00:08:28.767+00:002019-12-14T00:08:28.767+00:00Re-branding I expect.Re-branding I expect.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-24684852252877878622019-12-13T15:48:30.628+00:002019-12-13T15:48:30.628+00:00Give it a resest Reece.who the hell cares about wh...Give it a resest Reece.who the hell cares about whyat the owner of SBU cares He/She seems to be a muppet like youAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-55061040287407413042019-12-13T13:19:41.849+00:002019-12-13T13:19:41.849+00:00SBU Owner said it was a one off anyway :)SBU Owner said it was a one off anyway :)Reecenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-64799037991422967722019-12-13T10:56:00.627+00:002019-12-13T10:56:00.627+00:00Well, just to prove that this post was pointless, ...Well, just to prove that this post was pointless, the Tories had their best result since Thatcher...<br /><br />Now go back to your bus duties and refrain from posting about politics ever again!Claudio G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17278189931735942950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-15547801842094552232019-12-13T08:40:06.066+00:002019-12-13T08:40:06.066+00:00Oh dear Reece.A tory MP has been re-elected in the...Oh dear Reece.A tory MP has been re-elected in the area you live in.You will now have to move to another area where there isn't one.Not much choice for you i'm afraid just Southampton Test areaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-42408462160355167592019-12-12T20:43:49.737+00:002019-12-12T20:43:49.737+00:00Doubt it will be anything like the old 101, that r...Doubt it will be anything like the old 101, that route was withdrawn a good 15 years ago; and over half of that route is run by Unilink U1 (from Portswood to Airport)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-68875645506757618842019-12-12T19:57:58.085+00:002019-12-12T19:57:58.085+00:00The old 101 he might be on aboutThe old 101 he might be on aboutReecenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-70262813860240763432019-12-12T19:55:17.286+00:002019-12-12T19:55:17.286+00:00What would you introduce as a new route then?What would you introduce as a new route then?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-14167514066097895232019-12-12T14:25:12.673+00:002019-12-12T14:25:12.673+00:00Probably a 'new' route that is already ser...Probably a 'new' route that is already served by Bluestar/Unilink...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-50394132600203812572019-12-12T12:44:33.943+00:002019-12-12T12:44:33.943+00:00Well it won't be new buses as they are about t...Well it won't be new buses as they are about to get ex Portsmouth vehicles.Maybe it's a brand new management with ideas of running a bus service that people in Southampton want,but doubtfull this could happenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-598231524606257637.post-72398916486178360332019-12-12T11:24:39.355+00:002019-12-12T11:24:39.355+00:00Something is happening with First in the New Year....Something is happening with First in the New Year.
