Don’t be absurd Mark - what you’re suggesting would imply that Lembit’s level of support isn’t as great as the number of people on his Facebook group would suggest, which is of course absurd - why would Lembit choose to press release it if it was a completely meaningless indicator of support.

Next you’ll be suggesting that a lot of people in the group are non Lib Dems who only joined because they consider Lembit to be a joke. Crazy.

LEMBIT OPIK!!!!! LOL!!!?!!?!?! LOOK AT HIZ FUNNEEE CHIN!???!?? WOT A LEGERND!!!!

Actually, I have signed up to his facebook group - and to Ros Scott’s as well. However, Chandila will definitely be getting my first preference. Also - haven’t forgotten a defenced of The Cameron Effect - just hasn’t quite made it to the “urgent” tray yet…apols.

Definitely Apocalypse Now

(To watch, I mean, not the impact Lembit’s presidency would have ;-))

The group with more members is the pre-existing group from his last presidential campaign.

I’ve just checked Facebook and appear to actually have been unfriended by Lembit (or someone in his campaign possibly). Bit much really as I actually have had discussions with the man in person and by letter/email at various times over the years as well as being a fellow Bangorian Lib Dem.
