[Pickman's model]

No point in me being here then is there.

my first thought was 'not really, no'.

but then i realised we like to have someone about who can unite everybody, like mrs pentherby in the saki short story.

I'll try and find a political forum where people are willing to discuss politics then.

So they count the votes tonight, where do I go that isn't a tv channel for coverage?

I vote no2eu in eu elections.

In the local lan, con, lib and green. Couldn't bring myself to vote green so drew a big cock on the ballot. I then felt guilty to person that would have to look at it and changed it to a cactus wearing a sombero.

96 of the 162 votes cast on here have gone to left-wing parties (Greens and Labour), just shy of 60%.

Only 3 of the votes have gone to UKIP and 0 to the Tories.

A very left-wing forum!

You're here until you agree to phone up the queen and change your vote, now sit the fuck down and be shouted at some more.

Don't let the door hit you on the way out thickie.

Centre-left, although I'd agree that the Greens are considerably more to the left and a lot more how Labour should be.

I voted Plaid and I class them as left-wing.

If you squint a bit and turn your head to one side his chin looks a bit like a helmet. I'd not noticed that before.

THEN DON'T SQUINT A BIT AND TURN YOUR HEAD ON ONE SIDE WHEN YOU LOOK AT HIM!

For fuck's sake, if we play into their hands like that we get the government we deserve.

 

[tim]

Euro: NotoEU
Local:TUSC and Labour [only one TUSC canddate]
Mayor of Newham TUSC and Green [second preference]

The people who actually voted are considered to the right.

 

[quiquaquo]

Why aren't the SWP standing?

I only pressed Ukip for a laugh, i voted for Britian First really.

Green & TUSC. I live in Lewisham.

Highlight of my day was getting doorstepped in the street by Lutfar Rahman this evening in Tower Hamlets where I work. He was in full charm mode even though myself and my colleague said we didn't vote in that area, so we doorstepped him back by letting him know just how he has let the people I work with down over the last year. I will milk those apologies for every inch that they are worth once I am back at work and know what the local people I work with want from him.

Lutfur not Lutfar. I used to work with someone with the same name and almost suspected him of being Mayor of Tower Hamlets on the sly at one point (can't be that much work). Turned out he went to school with him.

 

[Treacle Toes]

Lutfur not Lutfar.

An honest mistake

 

[SpineyNorman]

Why aren't the SWP standing?

They are - most TUSC candidates are SP but there's still a few from the SWP as well.

 

[gosub]

I am still waiting for someone to explain what a Labour or Green MEP might do that is better. There's one of me and lots of you but I'm not hearing antyhing.

I did link earlier in the thread to Green on Yellow over the US/EU trade deal (tapatalking now so can't find) But Lib Dems would help put NHS in US cooperate hands, greens oppose

 

[Nigel]

Voted NO2EU: European
GREEN(For want of a better candidate/party to vote for; i.e TUSC): City Council Elections.

 

[weepiper]

No local elections here. We have a choice of Labour, Tory, Libs, SNP, Green, UKIP, BNP, No2EU, Britain First for the Euros. Anecdotally everyone I've asked and everyone on my facebook and twitter who's said how they've voted has said they voted SNP or Green.

 

[Greebo]

TUSC local, Green Euro.

Most channels, just avoid BBC1 after 11.35pm

 

[muscovyduck]

Really wish TUSC stood as TUSC in the EU elections. Way more professional than what they've done atm

Tbh you've provided a brilliant example of why electoral democracy is such a complete shambles

I had a mate. Quite trad left, old school trade unionism, co-ops, that sort of thing.

Moved to Brighton, joined the Greens - next thing I know, he's on facebook justifying scabbing/wage cuts for working people and decrying unions and the 'ultra left'

That's the Greens for you right there. They have their own place reserved against The Wall
