EXCLUSIVE: The meaning behind Mark Oaten’s cryptic comments

Lib Dem Voice has the skinny on Mark Oaten ruminating on the possibility that he might quit early and force a byelection. Stephen Tall has quoted from the Hampshire Chronicle Oaten’s views, but I can exclusively reveal the subtext:

He said it was “me me me”.

Mr Oaten said he did not intend to trigger a by-election but “me me me”.

He said if the “me me me” came up for him and his wife, he would “me me me”.

The father-of-two said: “I hope people understand.

“Me me me me me me me me me me me me me.”

People may recall that the good people of Winchester are not known for their forgiving nature when it comes to having unnecessary byelections foisted on them. Nice as it would be for us to increase our majority by one million per cent a second time, I feel it may be asking a little too much.

    I see this depends on someone making him a better offer.

    So the by-election team can probably stand down ๐Ÿ˜‰

    Go on Mark, go for that by-election, then we can finally get rid of you once and for all and Steve Brine can finally become MP for Winchester!

    The James Graham method of getting more hits: Put the word “exclusive” in capital letters at the start of the post title. ๐Ÿ˜‰

    It’s actually the Iain Dale method – I just ripped it off.

    Is it wrong that I’m now just thinking of the rhythm method and wondering how the Iain Dale/James Graham method is an adaptation of that?
