General Election - 4th July 2024

[Don Karleone]

And when they don’t get a majority all of those Reform degenerates will cry conspiracy and corruption.

That started hours ago.

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 independent.

At the polling station today, Tom used apps that can read images out loud along with magnification apps to help him vote. One of the apps did not prove completely reliable and Tom says this meant “voting was a slow and lengthy process”. Despite this, Tom says he was able to vote for his intended candidate and - importantly - he did so in secret.

Tom added that, while the technology worked for him this time, many people in the blind or partially-sighted community don’t have access to a smartphone so this is not a solution for the vast majority who still cannot vote in secret

It's something that election laws need to include to enable everyone to vote.

A lot of modernisation of how we vote is needed.

So you wasted your vote and were rude to someone just trying to do their job just to try and prove a point. Sounds like you had a really productive day. Lol

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.

So you don't recommend that I drink all 63 cans of Lager I currently have in the house?

Sounds like you vented your anger on the volunteers cos you knew your candidate wouldn’t win.

You’d probably know the rules beforehand and if it really were impossible to vote in person because you couldn’t speak your name, I expect you’d organise a postal vote.

What if you have a phobia of post boxes?

I don't know why but I'm starting to feel nervous.

Polls says one thing then the exit poll comes back with a Tory majority of 20....
