I'm like an old Marxist
The Director of Unlock Democracy, Peter Facey, says that I remind him of some old Marxist.
Gareth I like you and respect you too, but I now know what you remind me of and why sometimes its frustrating arguing with you. You are like some old Marxist who is against anyone who tries to make capitalism work better because it will prevent or delay the revolution.
That quote is a keeper, and one that I will cherish. Peter says this because I am uninterested in reforming British democracy if that reform doesn't include recognition of England's nationhood. Personally I think my position is a very reasonable one.
Peter's minion at Unlock Democracy, James Graham, has been frantically twittering to keep English Votes on English Laws out of the Power2010 top five. Too little too late, I hope.
If anyone has still not voted for English Votes on English Laws, you have 24 hours to register your vote here.

Peter's minion at Unlock Democracy
No I haven't. I've been encouraging people to vote for Unlock Democracy's priorities. Aside from anything else, EVoEL is currently in third place and would have to be overtaken by both fixed term parliament (which we aren't asking people to vote for as a priority) and written constitution.
You seem to have turned this into some kind of weird moral crusade of you versus us. Why can't you accept that Unlock Democracy just has different priorities to you?
At least we're being straight with people. You don't even agree with EVoEL. Plus you've been faking retweets to make it look like we are for EVoEL. Not a very honorable way to carry on, is it?
Calm down James, calm down,
Calm down James, calm down, watch your blood pressure. It's only a game. A little bit of healthy competition is good, and fun (I think you'll agree).
I do of course accept that Unlock Democracy has different priorities.
It should of course be noted
It should of course be noted that you pride yourself on winding up nationalists.
Touché !
Other priorities
Looking at the tweets above - it appears that unlock democracy certainly does have other priorities to me.
Every thing I don't support and no mention of the one I do - the half measure of EVoEL! Of course an English Parliament would be better - it would also be more democratic - but apparantly we don't seem to deserve that.
Looking at the tweets that I am receiving I would say that Peter is definately attemptin to block the inclusion of EVoEL or (if it is indeed up there with the rest of them) why not give it equal measure with the others.
Silence is a powerful message.
