Tactical voting in Folkestone

FG ≫ 2005 ≫ Tactical voting in Folkestone

At least one Labour party member, David Finnitch, 70, from Folkestone, has been won over to the idea of tactical voting, because he says there is "no chance" of the party winning in his constituency - so he may as well try to get the sitting MP, Tory leader Michael Howard, out instead.

This is my site The 'Gerald that I built in a fury of excitement when I first came here in approximately 2004. I had been a frequent visitor for a while previous to that but I am technically one of those Down From Londons you get nowadays. This site was updated more frequently with a calendar of events + voting for favourite places and things, + I hear it was a useful reference for others who were moving to the area. Now I've moved out of Folkestone again (though just a couple of miles) it doesn't get as much attention as it used to. Ironic really as Folkestone itself is now becoming the exciting place we knew it was about to become. My name is not Gerald by the way, this comes from the name of a pretend paper in an episode of Brasseye or something, the Portsmouth Gerald, + how there is a local newspaper here called the Folkestone Herald. Puns like this are great aren't they? Do contact me if you have anything to offer, email anythign @ this domain, or try @folkestone or @pauly on Twitter.
