What's astounded me again in this election and being out campaigning.
Is the high number of people and I'm talking all ages here.

Who haven't a clue about our voting process.
How to get a postal vote .
How to register.
People who've moved to a different area and didn't realise they needed to register in the new area.

People who have never heard of a proxy vote.
Plus, the high number asking what you have to do in the polling station.

Adding in to, the times I've said could they be persuaded to support Labour this time.
Then getting the response, they thought Labour held that seat anyway

Loads more who hadn't a clue who their MP even was.

It's unbelievable how poorly educated UK citizens are as to our voting processes in elections.

i think less and less people care about politics. When you look at this election, what fantastic things are going to happen for people with a new government coming in? :laugh:

There was a time where it was exciting and party's were being radically different. If you think about it, the last election was about finally completing something there had been a referendum on 3 years earlier. It's all madness :laugh:

the pollsters have got next to no idea how its going to turn out. There are a huge number of undecided voters who would probably vote tory normally and they may revert to tory or just not bother voting which is why it could go to a hung parliament. It's also possible that the tories could be down to between 50 and 200 seats which is a pretty meaningless prediction, i've never seen anything like it before :laugh:

SIR – That the Conservatives thought it wise to involve Boris Johnson, who is
tainted by Partygate, in their election campaign at the last minute is as
counterintuitive as Nicola Sturgeon, who is still under police investigation,
campaigning for the SNP on the streets of Govanhill.

It's very suspicious that polling stations provide pencils, rather than pens.

Take your own pen..

[bots]

Pencils are generally used to mark ballot papers for practical reasons: ink may dry or spill, or could smudge and transfer when the ballot paper is folded, which could lead to your ballot paper being rejected.

But this is not mandatory - you can use your own pen if you prefer.

I wonder if it's a grand conspiracy... with the grannies volunteering at the polling and counting stations sitting with a wee rubber, furiously changing votes from Reform to Labour, and then taking the secret with them to the grave? It was going to be a Farage landslide :worry:.

latest polls show tories getting 100-120 seats, so the range has narrowed a lot for some reason and it's feasible that lib dems become the opposition.

In fact I'd have welcomed previously a Labour/ SNP coalition at Westminster
There's virtually NO Party that hasn't had scandals of something or other.

One thing I'd love to see in this election and that is the SNP beating that awful Andrew Bowie in Aberdeenshire West and Kincardine.
He really for some reason gets right on my.nerves and infuriates me.

I'm still stuck on knowing where to stand.

A good representation of Scottish Nationalism is important for Scotland, even if it's not for independence, that buffer of... err... "Scotland First" has been a life-saver on many issues north of the border.

However, I do think the emboldened SNP need reigned in a little for obvious reasons.

What I can't decide is whether it's better to have:

1) A non-SNP Scottish branch of Labour in Holyrood, with a strong SNP presence down in London.

or

2) SNP still dominating in Edinburgh but a reduced SNP (and increased Scottish Labour) presence in London.


I'm leaning slightly towards option 2 because with (presumably, lol who knows) a Labour Westminster government... Scottish Labour MP's stirring the pot down on London with same-party colleagues might be better than the "loudness" of 40+ SNP seats.

I'd also be wary of too many Labour (or really, too many non-SNP) MSP's in Edinburgh because Labour controlling both is inevitably going to result in a weakness when it comes to the possibility of Scottish decisions slowly shuffling south.

I'd never advise but I think you're looking at the more appropriate option.

I don't think the SNP have been bad in Holyrood.
If I was in Scotland then I could be persuaded by them to support them.

Westminster as you say, especially IF Labour win and as yet we don't know if it could be a moderate or big majority IF they do win.
So Labour MPs from Scotland would more likely get better for Scotland than SNP ones at Westminster.

I wish you good luck in whatever you decide SB.

There's no party that doesn't have one scandal or another though so you either have to pick one, or not vote. IIRC the blood scandal spanned both Labour and Tory govts. in the 70's and 80's, it didn't end until the early 90's.

i think there are going to be a ton of recounts tonight. They reckon a third of seats will end up with majorities less than 2000. So it could be a very long night

Making Liz Truss Prime Minister (and the process of that leadership election) was a huge political own-goal, and the main reason they are so far behind in the opinion polls. The government lost their credibility very quickly.

Beyond that though, this is a Covid election. It is part of the pattern seen across Western democracies of governments becoming unpopular and being voted out as countries deal with the after-effects of the pandemic.

Well that's true, I do think any government would probably fall after this long in power and particularly when there have been global events that would have severely negatively impacted people even under the best government

i think there is just general dissatisfaction across the largest financial countries with populations just not getting the reward they feel they deserve for many, many years. I think this would be true even without covid and the war in ukraine.

This is also why immigration is a hot topic. When the economy is doing really well, no-one gives a stuff about immigration

Yeah agreed, the general global trend of the last 50 years has been towards more open borders and freer trade but people don't feel like that delivers for them anymore. We're at maybe the biggest tipping point in geopolitics and economic progression since WWI

China becoming such an economic power despite not being democratic or have much free-speech is changing the world and politics.

[MTVN]

China becoming such an economic power despite not being democratic or have much free-speech is changing the world and politics.

Same with the Gulf countries - no democracy but enormous wealth and now becoming more important in global affairs

Could say it might change when oil reserves dry up but then you have a situation like Kuwait - the only Gulf country with anything close to democracy - which is now becoming more authoritarian and their own citizens blame parliament for constraining their economy while their neighbours flourish

[bots]

China is apparently in real trouble now. Due to corruption, the property market has collapsed and that feeds in to the issues with not having enough workers to pay for the OAP's. They really want couples to have 3+ children, but the young couples have small properties that only accommodate 1 child and they are not prepared to invest in bigger properties to support a bigger family, so there is no population growth.

China is basically in a downward spiral and they now need immigrants to keep the country going which is not really attractive in an authoritarian country :laugh:

It's why we need a fix up on how our voting system works in our Elections.

Because if Reform does receive the second most votes, then they should have the second most seats imo.

Or a system that registers that Reform are currently the second most popular party in the country.
