He has a massive mandate built on sand, he got a lower percentage of the vote than Corbyn, albeit there are mitigating factors. His majority though means he can really enact proper change and if he is a Socialist as he claims he could make life changing change. I doubt that will happen...

What i wanted at the Brexit referendum was not on the ballot, i thought the status quo was unworkable. I wanted a fully integrated EU with an elected President with supra national political parties. I was not against the EU I was against the status quo as it was not working and is still not working.

No, Reform wants a freeze on immigration, that is very different to having a system that works for everyone. Their stance is a system that works for the people who do send people across the channel on small boats. There has to be legal routes into the country, if there is not you simply cannot...

I want controlled immigration and strong border controls, i do not want people having to cross the channel in small boats in order to seek asylum, i do not want potential asylum seekers being housed in hotels costing millions of pounds. I am not a racist, I want a system that works and i want...

I have found that when people are called racist, it is because they are actually racists and racists tend not to think of themselves as racists because they have a friend who is a different colour to themselves. It is called "othering" and Reform are good at that.

I did not vote. Have a good evening yourself.

The rise of Reform is concerning, but hopefully it serves one purpose and that is to make the Tory party sensible again, but it depends which nutjob takes over as leader. Johnson bless his cuddly little cotton socks has well and truly fucked them over. The question is where do Reform go from...

Because I care about democracy, look at the turnouts so far, how many people have been disenfranchised i wonder?

In my near 20 years on here I have read some nonsense, wrote some fucking nonsense, but I have never wrote or read anything that i can recall that is as nonsensical as that. Congratulations.

They never asked me for my address.

So i went out in the rain to walk to the polling station in order not to vote for the Green party that had no chance of winning. I may be a bit mental at times, but it is the only vote i have not participated in apart from the Brexit referendum, where i have explained countless times i abstained...

I have learnt a lot from today's experience, so yes it has been very productive despite me not voting for a candidate that will not win. When the election furore has died down, i will explain what i have learnt.

Tom Skelton is 36 and lost almost all of his sight due to a genetic condition. Today, Tom was able to vote completely in secret using a combination of apps on his smartphone. In previous general elections, Tom says he had to be assisted by a companion, meaning his vote was never fully...

Thanks for your input, it is greatly appreciated.

I do a lot of work with deprived and disadvantaged communities across Greater Manchester and every barrier to participation makes it less likely a person will participate, with something as important as Democracy we should be making it easier to participate not harder because if we do not then...

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...

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...

What if i could not

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.

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...
