May Elections

[Cherie]

For those who are having this Local Election
as many are now in a one-year delay.
Due to Boundary Changes.

We don't have any in our area but if you do are you going to vote?

How well will Labour do given they have attacked

Pensioners
Disabled
Women
Farmers
have I forgotten anyone? :laugh:

[Kate!]

Ours have been cancelled. The crafty bastards denying us our right to vote. Our MP is CRAP.

[bots]

i expect reform to do really well. The interesting thing will be if the tories manage to get anyone back or if it's still too early for that

[Cherie]

The Poll is private so you wont be attacked for your choice :laugh:

i never vote in local elections, just no point

[Cherie]

Ours have been cancelled. The crafty bastards denying us our right to vote. Our MP is CRAP.

What was the reason for the cancellation?, the local elections are for Councillers, sadly you are stuck with your MP for another 4 years

Oh yeah Cherie. Sorry I meant councillor.
I don't know the reason?

[Kate!]

The true reason will be that the cowardly labour party don't want to get trounced.

They'll have given some trumped up reason for cancelling our right to vote

No that's not True
Delayed for a year.


Typical of Cherie to not mention the Year Delay

[Oliver_W]

I'm not sure - it won't be based on the national parties, it will be based on
A) who's got the best policies and ideas for local issues
B) who actually knocks on the door - three of the "Big Five" have been lazy sods over the school hols, and just shoved their propaganda through the door without even knocking, why should I give them my vote if they can't be bothered to doorstep me?

[Kate!]

No that's not True

That's the same thing. It still denies us our right to vote NOW.

[joeysteele]

There's none where I live.
So I can opt out of this one.

[MTVN]

Oh yeah Cherie. Sorry I meant councillor.
I don't know the reason?

They're restructuring local government authorities in some areas to cut the number of them so it's probably to do with that

We only have a mayoral election for the West of England

It's quite close but the Greens are the favourites atm :rolleyes: could go to any party though - Arron Banks is the Reform candidate

This Delay of a year
will save Labour

[bots]

it won't save labour. Not all regions vote every time in the local elections. If regions are merging, they just go with which was the bigger region and take it's election cycle. Nothing dodgy about it. Labour will be expected to lose badly in this cycle, so thats nothing new, its how good the other parties perform that is important

We had Reform knock on the door the other day. At first when I looked out the window, I thought they were part of a religious group like Mormons.

There were three attractive young women, dressed smartly and four men in black trousers, white shirts. :shocked:

I didn't answer the door thinking they were gonna sell me religion, but with the no answer they shoved Reform leaflets through the letterbox, with a list of the condidates in the area.:joker::joker:

There's not a vote held where I live this year.
So I could opt out of this discussion and it may be wise to have done so.
However no, if there was voting in my area then I'd still be voting Labour.
However barely so and only because I usually don't judge governments after only months.
Despite despicable policies it was 3 years on from 2010 that I lost all faith or trust in the Con/LibDem coalition then went over to Labour.

These local elections are going to likely be really bad for Labour though ( they barely had 29% in these elections in 2021),as they were for the LibDens too in 2011 from getting shared power in only 2010.
However it looks too like the conservatives are going to get hammered too.
Which now, in opposition with a very unpopular currently government, shouldn't be the case.

The Mayoral elections are going to be interesting.
Plus the by-election which I think Labour could and should lose, for why this by-election came about in the first place.

However my disillusionment with politics at present, will after these elections only increase.
A mix of dismay and despair even that the narcissistic Farage will probably be grinning even more ear to ear and his awful more hate filled Party against other human beings, being rewarded for that more prejudice.

It will now be very interesting and these are more Conservative councils up for election this time.
So it will be interesting to see IF Reform takes lots of seats off the Conservatives but then put the Conservatives back into leading running that council.
Plus to see if Reform lead in a Council what the Conservatives do.
Will they put Reform in and enable more success for them.

These elections will raise lots of issues for Badenoch, she can't claim mid term anti government blues now.
How will her more running to join the policies on some issues of Farage and Reform now play out in these local elections.
Only a handful of votes often decide the seats in loads of council seats.
So on a low turnout as usual, it will be interesting to see what actually happens this time.

[arista]

Yes Joey,

That slows everything down.

If that expert on Ch4HDnews just before the debate

NOC is taking over good councils

With both major parties really eliminating a lot of good will, I think we'll be seeing a lot of Green and Reform candidates filling seats.

This can't have come as a surprise to anyone? Labour were elected on the ticket of the broadest shoulders carrying the load, and smashing the gangs, and no tax rises, and what have they done, targetted the elderly and the disabled, instead of smashing the gangs the numbers of people coming on boats is at an all time high and though they didn't actually raise tax for the 'ordinary working person' they raised employer NI so 'some ordinary working people' actually lost their jobs instead, they say the social care bill has to be addressed but fail to mention that the cost of housing migrants in hotels is also part of the social care budget .... but instead of tackling the numbers and getting them processed so they can either go to work or be deported they decided to angle in on people receiving PIP instead.... good job Keir ...handing running the country to Reform on a plate, who incidentally want an insurance model for the NHS so bear that in mind for future reference

Actually Ammi, for me, it's really worrying times.
There's absolutely nothing in Reform for those who are just scraping by, who are in need, and who would have identified themselves as anything other than social democrats or more socialist.

To then swing right over to an even more far right, capitalist orientated lot is absolutely unbelievable.
I was really disillusioned before these results, right now that disillusionment is more like despair.
Are we really now heading to be a Nation where we don't see other human beings from other Countries and cultures as nothing else but expendable totals of numbers.
That's something, (not that I'd want to), which I'll ever understand, support or admire about anyone, whether they be family, friend or foe.

Good luck with your chat with your Brother.

This is the worst day as to politics, I've come across in my life so far.

It's actually Reform's plan, Farage ironically favoured a French system.
With his friend stuck in the White house, there's no way Farage would not be open to a USA style health service.

Had a mind numbing conversation with the most ignorant racist today. The sad thing every Reform voter is the same.

An actual quote from him “Tommy Robinson is in prison because he spoke out”

No mate, he isn’t.

Comments like the BIB just unfortunately help Reform get more support.

I understand your dislike of the party (I'm exactly the same as you on this,) but we're never going to get anyone to understand our viewpoint or agree with us if we just label every Reform voter a racist.

That's my view anyway.

I haven’t yet seen reform supporters coming anywhere close to what we see from maga fanatics. I do wonder what support reform would have without farage as the focal point
