You think that was bad... The OUCA elections was remarkably corrupt and more acrimonious, the only difference is that the shadowy cabal got away with it. Well thats my opinion, though the gossip against candidates and the candidates shouting at people and handing out slate material seems depressing. But who would have thought a conservative association based in Oxford university would be domiayted by a small elite of rich thatcherites?

Sadly, I was expecting such an attack, but perhaps not so immediately.

Please do not label me as a sycophant - it is simply not a fair judgement to assume that if you support Elaine, you are a sycophant.

having 17 people resign from your committee can not in any way be seen as good record. And you could be a bit more subtle in your elaine stoogery, seems like your a fully signed up sycophant. tb claimed something about cf having a loose consititution allowing them to delay elections so they can fully focus on the general. Good spin.

There is so much mis-information and rumour around, that the blogosphere is no longer helping (of course it never was, but that is besides the point).

I find no "fear" of Elaine, there is no "Iron Grip", and her supporters are perfectly capable of making a judgement on the election, and Elaine's record which isn't bad at all - whether it was good would be a more fascinating debate.

It would be worrying if everyone supported Elaine, they do not, and at least LY are having elections. I hear CF are not being allowed democracy this year.

anon@15 March 2009 18:59 is right.

Elaine never forgets, and I know one branch chair who is backing both horses because he wants a change from her, but is terrified she'll cut them off from all resources if she wins.

Elaine's iron grip drove people away - now it's coming back to bite!

2009-03-15T18:59:00.000Z

There are LY members who support Sara or RON joining Elaine's Facebook group because they are scared their branch will get passed over for help in the election if Elaine wins and they are not seen to be 'on side'. Who knows if there's any basis to that but it just shows how much trust there is of her. Oh and it looks like that resignation counter is ticking up daily with rumblings ongoing. Might yet hit the mythical 18!

Not a comment on the article itself; but isn't it interesting that all the previous comments have been "anonymous". Why are they so afraid of coming out into the open? Some (most?) of us have no problem with doing so; but perhaps that is because we are open and honest at all times.

It's just a thought, triggered by reading all these "anons".

Confirmed - I'm hearing that too.

Confirmed - I'm hearing that too.

Who's leaking all this info from Liberal Youth?

I think it's going to turn out just like that Agatha Christie book, 'Murder on the Orient Express'. There are 15 suspects of a brutal murder, each with their own motives, and they all have water-tight alibis that support one another. It later turns out that they ALL did it: each one stabbed the victim once as part of a ritualized revenge killing, and they all provided each other with an alibi.

Might not be Monday morning but she's definatly going in at some point to be yelled at.

Sorry to disappoint, but in conversation with Elaine Bagshaw this afternoon she confirmed she isn't meeting Nick Clegg tomorrow morning, she will in fact still be traveling back from Scotland. I would say that counts as libel too..

2009-03-15T16:48:00.000Z

Ah - see you managed to slip the libel back in anyway. I was about to say thanks for putting it back up.
