Cambridge by-election

I'm not from Cambridge but have been interested in the results of yesterday's by-election. It came about due to Ann Sinnott's resignation.

Anyway, you may remember that her vacant seat came about, in part by the actions of the Lib Dem candidate Sarah Brown who is named in Johnny Best's 'coming out' as gender critical article and is also famous for extending an invitation to suck her formaldehyde balls. Ann in her own words here blogs.spectator.co.uk/2018/08/ive-quit-the-labour-party-because-it-has-betrayed-women/. After Ann resigned Sarah Brown stood and canvased for Ann's empty seat.

Anyway, to cut a long story short labour won the seat last night. Sarah is delighted she lost, according to her twitter. Well she is delighted with the results, the ones where she lost. The Labour vote has decreased since May, suggesting that the new candidate is less popular than the strong and principled Ann, but clearly preferable to the Cambridge green and libdem alternatives.

Well done Cambridge! You've done the right thing by not voting in Sarah Brown.

Good.

And I hope Ann is doing well sans councillorship.

Oh thank God for that.

I've been thinking about liberalism since reading Sarah Brown's blog. About how to balance individual liberty, which matters a lot in our culture, with the fact that no man is an island and the tag 'as long as it doesn't hurt anyone else' is quite difficult to predict given the fact we all live in communities. No answers im afraid but at least it makes me think more about my vote.
