Election day

[Still Farming]

Wonder who bothered to vote this year?
Totally disallusioned with it.
You vote one party locally and the other party runs local Authority Council, then dictated to by here in Wales ,The Welsh Assembly and that Party, then National Government Policies with another Party.
All working at "logger heads" to each other ALL THE TIME.

We had four choices here. One was a local fella that regularly sorts teams to tidy up around the town and things like that, another that is a large local dairy farmer that was persuaded by the Conservative Assoc to stand (his words), and another that is a fully fledged ‘green party’ nut job/eco consultant. The fourth was standing as an independent, but only because he failed to register in time as the ‘Reform Party’ candidate.

In the end, I couldn’t be arsed, and stayed on my tractor seat for the afternoon.

Just glad I wasn’t relying on you, and others with such unbridled enthusiasm for maintaining the ethos of democratic suffrage, to vote for me as an Independent here in Denbighshire then Neilo!

I probably won’t win anyway Neilo so please don’t go loosing any sleep over it!

If you’d been standing in ‘Montgomery & Forden’ I would most certainly have turned out to lend you my vote. I’d even have worn my Monster Raving Loony hat for the occasion.

I would have bothered to vote if any of my candidates had excited me in any way at all, or if it had been raining…

Going on your above description I’m surprised you didn’t vote for the first candidate.

 

[ColinV6]

I didn’t go, first time since I’ve been 18 (im 37 now) that I haven’t been “arsed” to even go and vote for something.

I didn’t think I really needed to and would be amazed if he didn’t walk it.

 

[Henarar]

Voted for independent candidates

 

[Wood field]

I have always voted … but … this time we received our ballot papers and the mrs said what do any of them stand for?
She was right! Not one of the candidates had any message or policy , no annoying leaflets in the post nothing .. so for the first time I like them couldn’t be arsed

 

[Bongodog]

For the first time in nearly 40 years I couldn't be bothered to vote nor could my wife. We had the sitting lib dem cllr who sent out two leaflets full of lies, he claimed to have dealt with the pot holes despite the fact they are a county council matter, not district, even worse the pot holes are worse than ever everything else was similar. 4 years of lib dem rule and the council has only just published their 1st set of account. His Tory opposition was a 20 year old student studying at university 90 miles away who failed to send out a single leaflet or poster, the lib dem couldn't have given him any more ammunition if they had tried. Just one leaflet could gave blown the lies big time.

 

[Henarar]

Our little polling station was the busiest I have ever seen it

Without the Ukraine war the Conservatives would have been annihilated, Johnson now on borrowed time! If Labour dumped Starmer who will never be PM & replaced him with Andy Burnham they would walk the next election.

I would have voted for the candidate most likely to kick the sh1t out of the people who made the town untidy in the first place.

Was the tractor moving or were you just having a sulk

 

[Henarar]

well it looks like the conservatives took a good hammering in Somerset at least, a big win for the lib dems

May not be every bodies favourite but he would walk any election unless the Tories boot out Johnson

You haven't been to Manchester recently then . it's a total shithole

 

[BrianV]

Maybe so but to most people he comes across a damm sight better than that aloof Sir Starmer, very much doubt the fact Manchester is a sh!thole is all down to Burnham.
