“Prescot is a disgrace. He cannot possibly be a good candidate for the post he is chasing. Help us all if he is elected, IT WOULD BE A DISASTER.

“I've got one of those empty bottles of beer at home, I often use it as an empty bottle of wine though or whatever takes my fancy, its quite versatile really.
On a more serious note I cant help but think Prezzas got this in the bag. Too many morons will vote for him because he's the only one they've heard of and the votes against him will be split too thinly amongst the rest.”
