I'm infuriated too that 3187 Green Party voters failed to grasp the simple principle of tactical voting and let the Brighton Kemptown Tory in with a majority of less than 700. Labour's Nancy Platts would have been a great MP for the area.

Adam - have you forgotten 2011? Blackberry messenger service was used to coordinate the looting and rioting. Police couldn't get into the message streams. Twitter is used to show the coordinates of the police in demos.

Gordon, how many votes did your son get? I'm guessing he stood as a joke? You have such a droll wit I'm thinking he stood as a form of comic protest. Did he lose his deposit? UKIP did well in north England but I find it hard to see them winning votes in Scotland when all the nationalists have the SNP to wave the flag over.
