Hugo Swire's website puts spin on his election result!

Here we go! Hugo Swire has only just been re-elected to parliament and he is already spinning about his result.

His website claims that Hugo Swire was returned at the latest election “after increasing his majority”. This is factually correct. What the website fails to mention is that, as Zorro showed in yesterday’s posting, his actual vote and percentage share of the vote went down in this election.

This is how Hugo Swire’s website spins the election result –

Hugo Swire's website - spinning his election result!

Compare and contrast Hugo Swire’s website information with the facts posted yesterday by Zorro. It will show you a different story to the one portrayed by Hugo Swire.

So, Hugo Swire yes your majority did increase but your popularity decreased! Your popularity bucked your party’s national trend. How embarrassing must that be! Your majority increased not due to you or your party’s efforts or popularity, but rather the broader challenge that there was to you from four other candidates!

So, even before you return to parliament please stop the spin Hugo, it’s not a trait that your electors like! It’s unbecoming for you an MP to try to gloss over a decrease in your popularity in this way.

It’s still time for challenge!
