I bet 90% of the people who voted for these chaps wouldn't remember their name today if you asked them, without looking it up  . "It was... Uhh... Y'know... The guy... The Nigel Farage party one..." |
i think that applies to all the political parties, most certainly for all those up against the big names that lost their seats
For example, the only thing i remember about the Jacob RM election was that he stood next to a guy with a baked beans hat
