I found the link to this over on a LibDem Essex councillor’s site.
| You are a Social Liberal (65% permissive) and an… Economic Liberal (23% permissive) You are best described as a:

Future shocks on this blog to include: Corn Laws repealed; Southend United fail to win Champions League (again); and Rotherham found to have told porkies about Jamal Campbell-Ryce.
Well, now you realise you are a Liberal, come and join us!
PS Finding your site made me feel guilty about not seeing Southend play for a couple of years.
My father was such a regular attender at Roots Hall that my parents got married midweek because he didn’t want to miss a reserve game…
After today, you should feel more than guilty: the first half may have been diabolical, but the second half— a true six goal thriller— had to be seen to be believed.
In fact, you say you’ve not seen the team play for a couple of years. Stay away! Your attendance must have been jinxing us!
I have been dithering about joining the LibDems for years. I shall investigate further.
Actually , I was going to come during the long winning streak, but wife warned me not too in case i really was a jinx.
In our first season in the Old Division One, when the Blues had a little argument with the local press and banned the Echo from coming, the club gave me a press photographers pass and I had a few photos published in the club programme.
I think the games I remember best are Southend beating Aston Villa 1-0 in the FA Cup (first round I think when they were in the old Division 3 for a season), beating Stockport 4-1 back in the 60s (only time I’ve seen them score 4) and Simon Royce’s debut against Fulham.
I really ought to go again , I might try to get to the Southend – Scunthorpe match on March 10th.
Meanwhile , if you are thinking about joining the Lib Dems, drop me an email. You might enjoy getting involved. People don’t believe this, but local elections can be just as exciting as any sporting event. Where do you live?
Hey I’ve just seen that you are in Lancashire. Really should have guessed it form the title of your blog.
Best not to contact me then, try somebody more local.
I take it you are a Southend man in exile up there?
