As for example you explained how someone could be in control of the Libertine that would push it in favour of a candidate.<BR/>I note you said " I ruled earlier in the campaign that official communications channels of Liberal Youth should not be used for campaigning ", It is a shame that no one made it clear to me. I was originally been asked to cover the elections for the Libertine, had we thought about this, we would have known we simply couldn't cover the elections because no one can be completely unbiased.<BR/><BR/>I appologize for any trouble I have caused you. The wording I used to explain why the article hadn't been accepted, wasn't appropiate. I did not wish to cause you any trouble but to try and provide a wake up call for the Executive. So I fully apologize for any problems for you I've caused. It's not your fault and I accept your judgement.<BR/><BR/>I was able to publish on the blog, which I had the right to do and that would be the right media to channel this kind of article through. My article would have been the only one in the Libertine on the elections and your judgement makes sence and may protect future elections from dangerous bias in the Libertine.Alasdair Whttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04380311147509564114noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17934023.post-45973737522781115042009-03-25T23:43:00.000+00:002009-03-25T23:43:00.000+00:00More power to your elbow Mark, clearly the right d...More power to your elbow Mark, clearly the right decision.Gareth Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02420082463890261627noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17934023.post-16119934005696260612009-03-24T20:12:00.000+00:002009-03-24T20:12:00.000+00:00As an ex-LDYS RO, I just wanted to thank you for f...As an ex-LDYS RO, I just wanted to thank you for finding the energy to do one of the toughest and least-thanked jobs that politics has to offer.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and that article was about as neutral as a manifesto.Richard Gadsdenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10545595590359552775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17934023.post-2728193737514411012009-03-24T15:51:00.000+00:002009-03-24T15:51:00.000+00:00Brilliant explanation Mark, thank you.
