    Politics UK – This Is A Poll We Can Win!

    UK Politician Of The Year

    I was surprised but very gratified to discover yesterday that I had been nominated in Politics UK’s poll on UK  politician of the year.

    My flabber is thoroughly gasted and my gob entirely smacked to see that I am now well in the lead.  At the time of writing, I have 215 votes and my nearest rival, Alex Salmond of the SNP, has 111!

    As a politician what interests me about this is the potential for publicity for our cause.  If I can do well, let alone win, it might make some of the mainstream media wake up and realise what they’re missing – that cannabis is an issue of great concern to real people.  That the cozy little club they create with their chums in Westminster is not what its all about.

    Of course, it only takes some Tory toady or Labour party apparatchik to get hold of this and Dave or Ed will surge into the lead.  However, for now, this offers us the chance of a PR coup.

    So please click here and vote for me!

      If only it wasn’t Facebook.. I imagine many people won’t want their vote announced to their family & work colleagues. I know I don’t. Good luck though Peter, hope you win.

      ” I imagine many people wont want their vote announced to their family and work colleagues .”  I would be more embarrassed if people though i voted for David Cameron ! Its a vote not just for Peter but for change so you shouldnt be worried if your friends or family find out you should be proud to show you have the common sense to place your trust in someone who wants to cripple organised crimes main income and let people choose the medicine called cannabis that has hundreds of medical properties . Or dont vote for Peter and hence showing your support for a corrupt system and prohibition .

      I’m not sure it’s black and white as that Stevester.I also could not vote and am not on facebook, for fear of my missus’s work colleagues viewing it, as they have been instructed to actively do, and thus having her job jeopardised.As she is the only one who is working in our house at the moment, I would not want the fear or trauma of having her judged and maybe even sacked because of the guilt by association social mentality we have today.
      Our priority is keeping a roof over our heads while the country slips deeper into financial mire.
      Not many of us can be ourselves unfortunately, as you will see from the pseudo names most of us have.This is due to the very real threat of over the top penalty’s for what is in effect a victimless pursuit. 
      This is unfortunately why many of us remain anonymous. Doesn’t mean our belief is any the less because of it.

      other ways than facebook? have also had some good friends just shun me for posting stuff on facebook due to them not paying enough attention to the privacy settings!
      i was also hiding stuff from work and family… only until recently… i am known to be naive, but who better to show and share to, than friends and loved ones – those at work, spend more time with you than most other people you know – if they pay you a smidgen of respect, regardless of your opinion and their misinformation, they’ll hear you out or keep it to them selves… totally know what you’re worried about – it sucks!

      This Facebook issue highlights our plight quite well really, forced to bite our lips, hide in the shadows, even deceive our loved ones, etc. For What?! For our freedom unfortunately. How ridiculous this prohibition is.

      You dont have to have a facebook account in your own name you can use any name you want – problem solved ! No reason not to vote now .

      I am not going to sign up again with facebook as it gave me security issues in the past and I no longer trust it.

      i will just say this, facebook has the amazing option to hide what you dont want people to see, this is what i have done, hidden from co-workers and such, dont not vote, this is important, just spend the extra time making sure its well hidden

      I did do that at the time and still had issues and a virus all in the space of a couple of weeks of joining facebook.

      I have the same problem. You can DELETE the item off your wall without affecting the vote. Ask me if you need more details. I did this for example after liking CLEAR and I still receive clear updates on my news feed

    • Mark

      Actually, the feature is to hide from wall. Which I’ve just done

      Best of luck with this, Peter! If there was another way to vote other than Facebook then I’d happily do so but I closed my account a while back. Here’s hoping you win! =)
