Postal votes in the UK (During covid and beyond)

[Vic]

This is yet another of your pearlers, to go along with your settled opinion that Labour really won the election if you threw in the homeless, those who didn't bother, the under 18's and those you think would have if we'd made it easier. Homeless people have exactly the same right as anyone else, provided they're old enough or not banged up in chokey. Plus, I have to smile
at the fact everyone on the streets is a Labour lover, just everyone, thousands of ex forces, millionaires now on their arses, each and every one
would be desperate to scrawl an X next to a labour candidate.

Another cracker, so it's not about a fair balance of people, it's got to be changed because 'The Poor' need to be traced, as they all live on the streets, and they all vote labour.
Just get yourself a decent leader, and present policies that chime with the populace, ditch what makes you unelectable, capture the floating voter,
like Blair did, and it can be done, the Tories you need are there, but all you
do is scorn and disparage them, they listen, and you get yet another swerve.

I think your problem is that your settled opinion rarely has any facts behind it.

And that would be a purler.

Really?
There are calls on here, all from people with exactly the same political persuasion, for change, and at first glance, 'Making it easier' by postal voting
is an argument. Where it falls down is actually going to a post box takes effort, there are not as many now, you could be walking just as far to a ballot
booth. Plus, if it's all about the ease of voting, why make folk do even this?
What's wrong with online voting? What's wrong with sending someone else?
What's wrong with telling someone, anyone, to do it all for you?
After all, apparently, we need to make democracy available to all, don't we?

Lots more post boxes than polling stations. Most postal voters can get someone else to post the envelope.

You can get someone else to vote for you. A proxy vote if you're away or ill.

And it's been common knowledge for decades that good weather helps Labour, as Tory voters have higher car ownership.

Facts, dear boy.

So what's your problem then?
Your view of the population is one from around 100 years ago, the excuses you keep making are frankly laughable, the homeless one being the most hilarious.
Plus, if this is so much of a problem, how come previous Labour governments have never done this?
Anyway, dear boy, (Great biography of Keith Moon that), what you want, including letting foreigners vote, prisoners, pimply youths, and totting up those who can't be arsed, ain't happening, so it's yet another to stick on
an ever growing pile of wish lists.

This is the type of response Id expect from the love child of Jacob Rees knob and that orange lunatic. Childish and pathetic.

Glad you find homelessness to be hilarious.

You mean people who believe in democracy.

Take steps if needed so that those who cant walk to the post box have their ballots collected.

#. Plus, if it's all about the ease of voting, why make folk do even this?
What's wrong with online voting?

Nothing at all, i would encourage it.

What's wrong with sending someone else?

Nothing at all, voting by proxy is fine.

What's wrong with telling someone, anyone, to do it all for you?

Nothing at all,if it is your democratic choice to do that.

After all, apparently, we need to make democracy available to all, don't we?

Yes we do, every person should have access to democracy.

If one person who is eligible to vote is denied a vote can we truly be a democracy?

I suspect AC's arguement is only the right kind of people can vote. Whatever that kind is...

Ok. So anyone can tell someone else, (and we have to take that someone's word for it), that they can go to a polling booth and put a cross next to
whoever. Or, the person himself can vote online, nobody ever needs to go to a polling station ever again.
There is a reason why lunacy like this has never been implemented, by any
government, here or anywhere else. That it's the usual crew of eternal losers rooting for it surprises no one.
