I just handed them my polling card and driving licence. They checked it and gave me to form and gave me both back. They didn't asked me my name or anything

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.

It is not about me, it is about the stupidity of electoral law denying people a democratic mandate

Have you ever read fat **** Eric fat **** Pickles report on electoral fraud? I had not until today, but wished i had, the fat **** is a fat fucking racist nutjob who was trying to gerrymander elections.

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.

Why are you bothered? A woman has asked a simple question, and you’ve shown your absolute arse like a toddler?

I don't get why the broadcasters are not allowed to talk about the election on the day of it until 2200. They've been talking about it for 6 weeks anyway. It won't make any difference
 
Busy at our local polling station while voting a few minutes ago . Staff said it been really busy most of the day . Tactical vote for me to removing the useless sitting tory Mary Robinson .

Disagree in turn. Boris got us through Brexit negotiations and then forced Corbyn out of Labour with a big election victory.

Sunak was unknown when Cameron resigned.

She did, but was a symptom not the cause. This is on Boris Johnson, he is medacious, self serving and wholly incompetent. He wrote 2 reports about his stance on Brexit ffs, totally opposite ones. And then went with the one that personally suited his ambitions, then set a narrative of lies to fit it. Once in, he managed to royally fuck it up in no time and people have long memories about how they behaved during the pandemic, which will manifest itself tonight.

You are letting the other two before him off much too lightly.
Cameron and Osborne used the global financial meltdown as an excuse to unleash their attack on working people, and destroy public services (and that's before the idiotic and arrogant and lazy Brexit referendum.
Then May continuing to attack public services BEFORE the lying narcissist took over, the lettuce and now sunak

starmer seems to have alienated all of merseyside with his comments relating to the sun last night. seems daft coming out with a statement like that the night before a GE.

Starmer is confident that he has removed traditional Labour Values from the party, and will have enough support for three or four years to try and stem the destruction of our nation.
What will be interesting will be how the self-servatives react....I actually believe that they will further implode and will never recover.
Will the Lib-dems be effective opposition or will the Greens increase?
Interesting times ahead

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"

Have I got this right: you had ID, you were asked for your name and so you didn’t vote?
Or have I genuinely missed something‘cos if not, the only person depriving you of your democratic mandate would appear to be....you. No?

Nobody is stopping you from trying to vote.

On my way to vote today, a middle aged, 'portly' gentleman in an assistance mobility wheelchair, was struggling in making his vote. One of the polling staff assisted him, helped him to make his vote, whilst ensuring his vote was private, then carried the box over to him, lowered it, so he could place it in the box himself. He thanked them and went on his way. Held up the procession by a few minutes, but it was quiet so nobody minded.

If you need assistance making your vote, ask, it's there, it's what they expect.
You just went about things the wrong way and expect people to join your "it's a conspiracy to thwart democracy!" nonsense you always spout. Get over yourself.

She didn't know her job. Do you think democracy is unimportant and should be left to amateurs to run our voting system.

I have voted in every election since 1983 and not once have i been asked that question, i found it to be discriminatory because what if i could not speak.

People have died getting us the vote and as a passionate believer in democracy, it appals me that because somebody who would not have been able to answer the question would have been denied a vote, whilst others were not questioned and allowed to vote.

If you think that makes me an absolute arse and toddler i couldn't give two fucks, i value democracy, you obviously do not.
