Bradford West by-election: Your predictions

[Sebastian Melmouth]

You have a weird imagination. All I did was to express my honest opinion at a glance. I don't think women make good MPs and I won't vote for foreigners or lefties. That's what I would do personally, and as a voter I'm entitled to vote for anyone on the list in the constituency I live in, and you can't do a thing about it. I don't have to justify it to anyone; indeed I don't even need to tell anyone, least of all an opinion poll company. I’m English by the way. I was born in Buckinghamshire and my parents and grandparents were also born in Britain and even my great grandparents and my great great grandparents. Indeed you can trace my name back to the 12th century in Britain.

Indeed you are entitled to do that, and I wouldn't dream of telling you who you should or shouldn't vote for.

Not sure why you are getting so defensive about telling people who you wouldn't vote for or justifying it. I never asked you to do either. You volunteered the information quite openly!!!

What are your predictions for tonight’s parliamentary by-election in Bradford West?

Mine are as follows:

1. Imran Hussain (Labour)
2. George Galloway (Respect)
3. Jackie Whiteley (Conservative)
4. Sonja McNally (UKIP)
5. Jeanette Sunderland (Liberal Democrat)
6. Dawud Islam (Green)
7. Howling Laud Hope (Monster Raving Loony)
8. Neil Craig (Democratic Nationalist)

There is no way that Islamist (Hussain) and Islamist (Allahway) would get #1 & #2. They would split the vote and let the Tories in. Sonja 'hate panel' I'm a raving communist (Green party watermelon) will struggle to beat the Limp Dums.

Sonja is not a 'raving communist' nor is she a member of the Green Party having defected to UKIP. Is there really any need for all these insults?

Greens are communists, green on the outside, red on the inside. She is on a hate panel, which signifies a 'Lefty'.

Try to understand the difference between reality and insults.

Well, it's an opinion, I like to think it's rich and vivid, but that has no relevance here. I wasn't questioning your nationality, merely suggesting that, given the previously discussed subtexts of your writings, it would be quicker to list the people you do tolerate!

I think most men make ****ing awful MP's - look at the Conservative party - so that screws gender as a prerequisite.

The reason is that I'm happy to tell you. There will be many who have similar thoughts where they won't tell people, and so for the sake of a better representation next time around I thought it best to mention it. The UKIP have a drab candidate. There are some UKIP politicians I would consider voting for, but not her.

Sonja is not a member of the Green Party. Participating on a ‘hate panel’ does not define one’s political compass.

[KrisH]

The UKIP have a drab candidate.

Sonja has a solid track record in community involvement.

She is chairperson of community group Upper Heaton Working Together and is membership secretary of the Heaton Township Association.

The UKIP candidate was also a volunteer with Bradford Nightstop - an organisation that provides assistance and accommodation for 16 to 25 year olds who find themselves homeless.

Sonja has also been a Bradford Street Angel which saw her walking the streets of the city on a Friday and Saturday night providing assistance where needed.

She is a governor of Frizinghall Primary School and also of Feversham College - a voluntary aided specialist science school for Muslim girls aged 11 to 18 years.

Sonja is also on a Hate Panel - an initiative that sees local residents meeting up regularly to discuss how police deal with reported cases of a hate crime.

Once a communist, always a communist.

Au contraire.

Women are too gullible, and in the face of hostility it's a man's job in my opinion. It's not that I don't like women or anything, indeed the world would be a boring place without them, but its horses for courses, and as our country is in such a mess I think you need a strong, experienced, honourable and intelligent man to do the job. And of course of English decent! I would actually favour someone with a scientific mind as well. I think the reason there are such awful politicians at the moment is because people are not discerning enough. If the face doesn't fit then the best thing to do is don't vote for it, and if none of them fit then don't vote for any of them. If everyone did this and the score was 0, 0, 0, 0, etc then I should imagine a new election would be demanded with fresh faces.
