Makerfield doubts

Not really, it is my opinion and not an ad-hom comment,

I said it was an ad-hom attitude.

To say that you would listen to something if said by someone else but not the exact same thing said by me is 100% deciding on the basis of the who and not the what.

It is exactly what "ad hominem" means.

I'm not trying to "prove or disprove" anything. I was simply trying to point out to @martygturner that he shouldn't get too excited about the "wisdom" of "65% of voters looked at the reform offering and chose something else" because that 65% is down on the GE figure, and if you lump both Re-parties together support for their offering is up by 47% from the GE.

It's pretty rare for any winner to get over 50%, which by your argument appears to be when you think it's a valid outcome. By that logic we'd never have a government of any party.

I have absolutely no idea where you get the idea that I'm arguing about the validity of the outcome. It's certainly not come from anything I posted.

That comparing the byelection results with the GE ones becomes arguing that the outcome is only valid if the winner gets over 50% is truly bizarre.
 
Did not expect to get a email demonstrating US levels of conspiracy stupidity from a UK DIY forum when I got up this morning. Impressive. I'd suggest you take a look at the number of flag shaggers vs counter-protestors at ALL of the recent racist turn-outs. Might make the Makerfield result a bit less 'suspicious'.
