About Me
- Benedict White
- I was born in march 1968 in a small village in Hertfordshire, just north of London. My father was English (English father Irish mother) and my mother is Welsh. When I was 2 months old the family moved to the Lebanon. I had some very good times there. We left due to the war in a convoy that was miles long and travelled by road from Beirut to Damascus in an 8 hour journey on the 4th of July 1976. Since then i have lived in Croydon then various parts of Mid Sussex where I now live.

Bad luck, but keep fighting.
Would you consider providing a link to my campaign website www.vote4barry.blogspot.com
Good on you for having the balls to put yourself forward and give it a shot. It's having losers in elections that differentiates us from a one-party state.
Your time will come.
Hope you enjoyed the campaign Benedict, and thanks for your insights on here. I hope it's inspired you for the future.
Next time you'll get them! Keep trying
Commiserations Benedict. Good for you for standing. Next time you'll be in.
First, I hope you enjoyed the experience. When I first fought a seat in 1986, I loved it - put the Alliance vote up from 21% to 39% - lost, mind you...
The Mid-Sussex results look in line with what happened elsewhere. That said, the LDs haven't exactly been wiped out, have they ?
I suspect holding all these seats will be a greater challenge in 2011.
Sorry you didn't get in Benedict. Best of luck next time.
Barry, many thanks, I would consider a link swap, yeas, mail me.
Marquee Mark
Yes, it is giving voters a choice, many thanks!
tpfkar , Yes I did, (though I have not seen the last LD leaflet yet) and yes it has inspired me!
Fitaloon and Elliot, the irritating thing is that as I have canvassed and people have raised issues I have dealt with them as ward work, they just collect the "whines" for their next leaflet, like that solves anything!
I will get them, mark my words!
Loadofstodge, Lost what 200 seats?
The LD's have had a hard and bad day! Many thanks for the support though.
Ian, it won't be luck next time, it will be blood swat and tears.
Well done, Benedict, for standing and putting up a good fight. If the good voters of Ashenground had known what they were doing, you'd have won by a distance.
Good luck...and keep going! We need representatives like you.
Many thanks Peter, yes I think I will be doing it again!
Well done Benedict, you clearly fought a hard campaign.
I'll offer 1 insight and 2 pieces of advice for next time.
Losing is hard, my first seat (which I also lost) was a "safe" Tory council seat where an Independent/Tory split vote let in Labour the previous time. I failed to retake it by a whisker. It hurts, but makes victory all the sweeter when it comes. Your time will come.
Advice Number 1. You've now fought a difficult seat you expected to lose. If you get a chance of a safe seat, grab it! Honourable losses are ultimately just that - losses!
Advice number 2 - GE2005 I was agent in my constituency. We learned what a great choice a chiropodist was as a candidate, when she dressed our blistered & bleeding feet half-way through polling day! I will always campaign with a chiropodist in future... suggest you do likewise.
At least losing means you'll still have plenty of time to plug your blog on PBC!
Cheers
Robin Wiggs
Robin, many thanks, and thanks for the advice! I shall be wearing more comfortable shoes next time around!
