For clarification

Lest anyone not get the Dave Spart reference, and in the vain hope that he hasn't written the ballot prose:

Dave Spart – ultra-left wing activist, always representing a ridiculous-sounding union, (often the National Amalgamated Union of Sixth-Form Operatives and Allied Trades), collective or magazine, which is frequently based in Neasden) who is given free rein to express his views. These always begin "Once again ...", before attempting to lambast the subject of his anger for alleged misconduct, prejudice or general wrongdoing. Rarely does this get further than a few words before it breaks down into a fragmented litany of "sickening... totally sickening... worse than Hitler..." and so on, before being abruptly curtailed by the inevitable "continued on page 94". Since he must take the alternative view on any subject, he often ends up contradicting himself and getting stuck in illogicality, frequently stopping with "Er..." but continuing anyway. The name 'Spart' is derived from the German Spartacus League which existed during the first world war, and other subsequent revolutionary groups.
