The Conservative Party

every single Mayoral declaration so far bar one have been Labour wins including 3 of the newly established ones

Mark Harper " I think we are seeing mixed results in these Mayoral elections "

Mixed? Mixed? Thats like losing 10 nil and your manager coming out with " I think it was a mixed performance - we stopped them getting a single shot on target in the last 5 minutes" ..........

A bit like the Huddersfield manager after we gubbed them 10-1 when he said that 3 of our goals were offside and so we only beat them 7-1.

If you listen to 30p Lee you begin to realise that only are they are not only after the right wing knuckle draggers but the ignorant Labour base.

I expected the Tories to get an even bigger kicking than they got in these elections, makes you wonder what the political landscape is going to be like after Labour have their 4 years rearranging the furniture.

Worse? I’m not sure how ‘worser’ it could’ve got for them.

I'm in that age bracket and I didn't vote yesterday because I just don't see the point. I see chat amongst our councillors and all they care about is giving each other a kicking. If either wins they'll just make a game of telling everybody how they beat the other. They aren't interested in the state of our roads or the fact that nothing is being done about anything.

I decided that the only option was none of the above but that isn't an option so I didn't vote. I'm hoping that this will be a record non-turnout, they need to be told that they represent us and not their party.

Have you actually engaged with a councillor?

I wouldn't say that I'm right wing, I certainly will never ever vote for a party like Reform who I agree with on some things but disagree on most others. I have voted Tory and Lib Dem in the past but certainly not now. That leaves Labour or the Greens and I definitely won't vote Green so I will vote Labour at the next general election.

At a local level however the only councillor who canvassed around here was the Tory one and he just wanted to stop Labour getting in. With local Labour I don't even know who I was voting for let alone what I was voting for so why would I even bother?

You probably had the Tory call and not Labour because you'd previously said you were Tory. We can't get round to ask every previous Tory voter to ask if they've yet seen the light.

Copium.

 

[The Future’s Blue!]

Copium.

One can only assume that’s a conjunction of two words, coping and mechanism, even though it doesn’t work?

I didnt vote yestertday as all local councils are hamstrung by central govt

So you wouldn't even vote for the party that's been hamstrung in preference to the party that's done the hamstringing... Good grief.
