Like Nixon, he might not mean it. Given how the vote for the Assembly members went, I would guess that almost any other Labour candidate would have crossed that divide. Like so many other normal (Jewish) Labour voters (and the 2 friends with us on the night of the count), we would have the straight Labour ticket, instead of splitting it.<br /><br />Sorry.

They will give him the job and he will do their bidding. This is what happened in the past and will happen again.KatieNorcrossnoreply@blogger.com
