He got more votes than Garrett, and probably quite a few other sitting MPs. And lots of people have heard of him: I think he got a greater % of candidate votes than the overall party vote.

Don't be such a grouch - he's one of the good guys, mmmkay?

Millchamp et al (2006)

And to see Durrant's figures exposed, British Journal of Social Work (Beckett)

n.b. Durrant's one paper is what all Bradford's claims were based on, while ignoring multiple research sources clearly identifying key risk indicators of child abuse. The 690% increase in youth crime in Sweden after they did this was also ignored

Not entirely sure what the heck that means but I wouldn't be surprised if she has a rather lower support base than she thinks and is probably unemployable in the "real" world. Also pisses me off that she pushes the "I'm one of you common people" line, yet she comes from a fairly priveleged background and is well-educated.

Remember she was a career protester for the Unemployed Workers Union

A moron working for an oxy-moronic group

On the other had, she is throwing her toys because she didn't get to be boss.

Even so, I'd rather have Sue Bradford in Parliament than Peter Dunne.

I thought the greenies/stupid hippies didn't believe anyone was better than another?
Why would becoming boss matter?
They aren't hypocrites,are they?

Fair call except I'm sure there are kids everywhere who are abused where the cases aren't reported. I guess her bill was never going to stop that though.
