Happy the Tories will be gone but feels like it’s a few years too late. The damage they’ve caused during the last 14 years is so deep that it will take a long time for a recovery. They’ve basically taken us from the Premier League to non-league.

This is what Labour are basically walking into:

If you look closely there’s a few zombies walking round going ‘I’m still voting conservative!’ & ‘Don’t vote Labour!’.

Didn't ask me to do any of that, just told them my address showed my driving licence and put my cross on the voting form they handed me popped it in the ballot box. Quite straight forward really.

What is going on I wonder.

A person can actually petition against an electoral result if they think it is fraudulent. If i was asked and others have not been, i wonder if that is reason to go ahead and make a real sone and dance about the ridiculousness of the current legislation.

The phrase has been coined by the media and seized upon by all and sundry.
To say a lack of opposition is a good thing is ridiculous.

We need a strong opposition to keep the govt on their toes.
Had labour been weak the Tories would have done as they pleased for the last 5 years.
That's never good wherever your allegiances are.

You mean they were restrained?...

Yes.
Counted as spoilt.

My point is if the count of spoiled ballot papers becomes significant,someone somewhere might ask themselves why people would take the trouble to go to a polling station to just spoil their ballot.

Ok mate, didn't know that.
Can't see the system changing, even with 20% of the ballot spoilt just as an example. The government will always get in.
Costs nothing to be civil to the old lady at the booth though.

We were just talking about @Rascal posts at home and the wife what’s the number for at the side of your name when you go in and register? Funnily enough the 2 blokes this morning gave each other the wife’s number incorrectly and I had to tell him he needed to change it. No idea what it’s for the though.

Fair comment, he doesn't come across that way. Just surprised by his actions and words in the polling station to someone just doing a job.

Its more not knowing their job. They will have received the Electoral Commission handbook, if they valued democracy they should have known that something introduced in 2017 was not an ancient law and explained it to me rather than being flippant. Read it yourself and especially the section on how to treat disabled voters. i believe she was negligent in her democratic duty and whilst my choice of language was poor, it was more frustration at how stupid our voting laws have become. They are depriving people of their democratic mandate and that fucks me off.

As Albert Camus said

"be careful, when a democracy is sick, fascism comes to its bedside, but it is not to inquire about its health"

I went to vote, handed in my polling card and showed my driving licence, the woman says "whats your name" I say " its on the card right there" she says to me you have to say it out aloud,its some ancient law. my reply was "Bugs fucking bunny, stick it up your arse" and i walked out.

Got home, checked the legislation and read the Fat **** Eric fat **** Pickles report on electoral reform. Then read the Electoral commission handbook for polling stations and indeed since 2017 you have to state your name and address. How the fuck are you supposed to vote if you cannot speak, or are deaf and dumb etc, These people can no longer vote according to the law.

What a fucking piss take this shower has been.

He isn't at the level of Boris and Cameron in terms of ****, but remember this is a guy who already has all the money someone would ever fucking need so he doesn't need to be as corrupt as those fuckers. But he's still doing his best to play the system. He is so detached with the real world he can never truly represent people in this country.

He will resign and move to the States within a few months.

I was just going to check what those numbers were, but thought, they kept my polling card. What is to stop them registering a vote in my name. If the result in my constituency is a 1 vote win, i will petition the electoral commission to rerun the election.

You do come across as one of those "the Government is secretly after me" types.

The authorities don't give a shit about you. Just say your damn name next time.
