Dunno really. I've said before, but the blairites seem to work on the basis that a good election result / poll validates their having moved to the right, and a bad election result / poll tells them they haven't moved far or rapidly right enough...
Not an option in my particular patch in any case.

So many particulars. So many questions.
there you go guys, the guardian worked as hard as it could to make sure the party was run by Proper Electables, so if you don't vote for them you are the massive cunt. For the price of a coffee you can read more of this quality journalism

The above is utter crap, agreed.
BUT!
There's no excuse for voting Tory. Ever.
(Obviously there's vastly better ways of making that latter point. All I'm saying though, is don't ignore that the Tories are scum
)
Feel free to just fuck off. I was attacking the Tories.
I was not defending the Guardian, I actually started by saying that piece was crap FFS!
I voted Labour 1st and Green 2nd
Am not a Starmer or centrist Labour fan by a long way.
Will never vote Tory
Lib Dems fucked it with the coalition
The Greens are Tory Lite but second best of a bad lot.
I know the local Labour lass fairly well and she is a decent sort.

I think Kath Viner needs to review whether she's getting value for money out of your little arrangement tbhFeel free to just fuck off. I was attacking the Tories.

I can assure you that I must be doing very badly out of whatever arrangement that might be, that you've just invented for a crap piss-take.
Suggest you pick arguments with me about more important things

We've got a PCC election as well, I'd forgotten they existed. Maybe having them on the same day as locals will raise them above the risible 12-16% turnouts they have got in previous years. I'll be writing Dredd in for that one

In My Defence I was left Unsupervised
We've had a Tory leaflet and 2 LibDem ones, the Tory one came in an envelope whilst I was cleaning the drive. The lass sticking them through the doors didn't know what it was when I asked her, she had just been paid to distribute them. She had guessed it was to do with the election but had no idea who it was from.

usually means someone who's fallen out with what used to be their party, but just what party that was, and whether they were too far right or too far left to fit in to that party can vary.
as can whether they got slung out of their party for doing something objectionable

Don't think I can manage to hold my nose and vote labour for PCC unless anyone wants to talk me into it?
I'm not voting in that even if I turn up to vote for mayor/councillors. It's a silly election

Suddenly started getting loads of identikit adverts on YouTube. Have all major political parties employed the same media agency or something? Jesus

Although tbf this entire time the algorithm's been pushing some posh git 'Youtuber' as the next mayor, piggybacking off laurence fox's toxic shit by positioning himself as being anti-laurence fox or something. Fuck this shit, Binface all the way

I don't think I've ever seen a canvasser 'in the wild' in my life. Just the areas I have lived in I guess.
We had a crowd of Labour canvassers on Saturday afternoon. The local MP, the elected Mayor, both ward councillors and the local party members. They are really concerned following the loss of the next door parliamentary constituency to the Tories when Flint lost her seat.
I gather from speaking to our local councillor, an old Unite rep I’ve known years, that they are concerned about the elected mayor being ousted. I cannot see it myself, the last no Labour mayor was the racist English Democrat, Peter Davies, the dad of tory Phil Davies.

Not that I'm aware of in Swansea, but I guess that might pop up on my ballot papers tomorrow.
I've never seen anything parishy in previous elections here, though.
