Well there it is, its all over, the dust has settled, and time to reflect, didn’t we do well. 16 candidates in the General and 13 candidates in local elections. Well done to each and every one of you, be as proud of yourself as I am of you. We didn’t return any MPs, but then we don’t need to, we are all ‘Mad Prats’, in the nicest sense of the word. I’ll tell you what we did do though, we gained six Council seats. In Derbyshire, Lincolnshire, Worcestershire, Dorset, Sussex and Surrey to go along with the one that we already had in Hampshire. Now that’s something to be proud of in its self. In our own way we out loonied a lot of the other party’s. Its just makes me smile sometimes, and this was one such time. One of our members gets 72 votes, beats five other candidates, who in their mind are standing for a very good reason, only to be beaten by a LOONY, I wonder what goes through their mind. I bet they got some stick from their friends.
Looking forward to 2020, I bet you are, its all good fun and I expect you thoroughly enjoyed yourselves and met some nice people. I very often get the impression that the people really want us to win, but ‘he vote’s for us because he thinks that everyone else will’, but it doesn’t work like that, I keep telling ‘em. We’ve always said that if a smile was a vote, we’d win by a landslide. We are the party that everybody loves underneath it all, they would all love to come to our party!
Well they can, Sept 24-25-26 September, Blackpool, their putting the illuminations on a week earlier especially for us! And so can you, make this the next big date in your diary, don’t miss it, if you aint been yet, well you aint been nowhere.

This will be our 31st conference, let’s make sure its as good as the other 30.
