Useless cuntery

It's council elections, so they actually are amateur tbf

Spelling mistakes, back to front pics, grammar and utter randomness

Please please vote for me

Being hypocritical there, I'm sure if they thought the behaviour of the floppy haired one was a vote winner, they would shout it from the rooftops.

It's my birthday tomorrow.
I'm not getting anything, as I've just got married, and naturally everyone's skint (and I'm 35).

But I'll be fucking livid if the Tories don't take a fucking kicking.

I genuinely quite intrigued about what will happen in my borough, LibDem held Sutton.

The incumbent controlling LD group have been in place for 30 years and at obvious risk from 'change-maker' challengers. Of course they have always played the 'we're not the tories' card. But the local opposition are the vermin who are beset by the same (national) problems of incumbency and on-going damage from blustercunt. Labour exist only in name and haven't had a single councillor since 2006, so who knows what will happen?

i suppose this is, in reality, a recipe for little change on an even lower than usual turnout? I expect the vermin might pick of a few more leafy wards and it looks like the LP have a couple of genuine local campaigners in one of our newly designated, smaller wards, so maybe they'll break their duck?

It will be interesting. The current council are widely seen as out of touch, and so at risk. The polls suggest they've been losing a lot of support to Labour, but that's unhelpful - it merely assures the Tories will get in if their voters actually show up.

Had loads of leaflets and stuff from the lid dems - they can fuck right off. They're obviously desperately trying to get a seat here - they've sent a lot more than labour.

 

[Ranbay]

Is there a website for tactical voting or is that only for the GE ?

 

[killer b]

You can just look and see who did best in your ward last time and vote for them?

It’s my birthday tomorrow and I’ll be livid if the upper norwood tories, Lib Dems and Labour don’t get a shoeing.

I still have pre birthday excitement.

What's the problem here? Looks to me like Labour have a reasonable chance of winning?

 

[killer b]

There was also a by-election last year where Labour was less than a hundred off winning. With national politics being as they are, I'd say they've a very good chance of taking it.

The last results are the problem, but hopefully it will change this year.

just wanted to make sure my vote wasn't wasted, I only moved into this area from Cardiff 2 years ago.

i'm still undecided between limp dem (sitting councillor, but good at the local stuff), green (as a 'none of the above'), comedy drawing or not bothering...

 

[Calamity1971]

Anyone in Newport voting for Dennis
Apparently people believed it was real when it landed on their mat.

 

[Leighsw2]

From denuding to renuding, it's clearly what South Wales needs....

One person corrected the ' less' saying it's 'fewer'. It would be great to think that person actually believed it was real and was more shocked at the shoddy grammar .

No photo ID so won't be voting, though Cumbria is being Unitary-Authoritied in this election against the will of everyone, so the results will be more interesting than learning that tories are popular in Carlisle, Labour in the shitty coastal towns, and that the residents of the Lake District are building a pyramid for Tim Farron.

Photo ID? When did that come in???

[worries that I might have been asleep for the past few years]

I wasn't asked for any photo id this morning. I have heard of plans to bring that in though.
