As my council was restructured a year or so ago we don't get to vote, as the council is "too new."

bots 04-05-2023 04:35 PM

the weather has been nice so that should have encouraged folk to vote.

I very rarely vote because where i live, it just doesn't make a difference. I will vote at the next GE though out of principle

I've voted a mixed bag since I got my vote in 2010.

I voted Con up to 2012 for the council elections.

In 2010 I voted Lib Dem hoping for a fair and decent coalition with either the Cons or Labour.
What a letdown that was.

Since 2014 and joining Labour.
I've voted Labour in both General elections and local elections when held.

The photo ID required would have put the numbers down. I only revived my photo ID at the end of last week.
