General Election - 4th July 2024

Some wise words from Bury Market stall holders on today's result.

Yeah same but I’m prepared to give them 12 months to see what they do. My guess is lots of additional stealth taxes to free up cash to drop into the NHS pit….without really solving any of the fundamental problems….genuinely interested to see what they do about infrastructure (energy, transport).

Flog them both to BlackRock to run.

, I just wish they would change the rules so anyone with an IQ less than a hundred couldn’t vote

Seems a very right wing policy that those who are seen as less intelligent should not be allowed to vote, not that IQ tests are very accurate. I'm sure the little Austrian bloke with a penchant for walking funny and a Charlie Chaplin moustache would approve.

For democracy to work it requires all people to have a voice, regardless of how unpleasant that might be for some people.

The oath should be taken by all candidates prior to the election.

Pisses me off that MP's take the cash (I assume they do) and not turn up, it also pisses me off that so many other MP's are hardly there.

Should be paid pro rata per hour, same with exes.

Sinn Fein don't take the cash.

Does anyone truly believe things will be significantly different under Starmer? Genuine question, not trolling or looking for a fight.

I'm not talking about migrants to Rwanda or headline shit, I'm talking about day to day living, NHS queues, ability to get a dentist/doctors appointment, cost of living etc

Fair enough, wasn't sure on them hence the brackets.

The rest of the post stands though for regular MP's.

 

[mackenzie]

agreed but in todays Media and social media world i think they will find it easy to drag up anything and turn it into a storm.

This was commented on last night, by a Tory to Andy Burnham.
Labour need to run a tight ship.

Fuck off - and when you get there fuck off some more

Horrible fucking ****.

I dont think we will see a step change that some of the, as Pep likes to call them, "Happy Flowers People" on here seem to think will happen. Personally Im not judging them (unless they crash the economy) for 3yrs, that should be long enough to see any green shoots of policy decisions being enacted and by the time of the next election a tangible level of progress being made.
