Beefeater1980 posted:Crossing over from the pissflaps thread, but: my normally very Tory aunt in Tunbridge Wells is voting LD this time round and thinks that they will unseat the conservatives. So while I think it’s a good idea to vote Labour in *almost* any circumstances, if it’s a close Tory/LD race and Labour is very very distant third, maybe worth tactical voting on the grounds that 90% likely to be poo poo is better than 100% guaranteed to be poo poo. Tactical voting is bullshit, and the Lib Dems will almost certainly steal votes from the Tories rather than Labour this time. hth e: 3/04; 11th March 2004: the Tories and Labour are level at 35% for the first time in forever. Labour would go on to win another majority the next year. Venomous fucked around with this message at 00:23 on Oct 30, 2019 |

looks there’s no way they have internal polling that shows anything close to that, they don’t even have the numbers to get a ld /snp coalition. they’re just gonna coalition with tories again aren’t they lol

Here we go here we go here we loving go  It's all coming up Milhouse lasses. Feeling very positive about our chances after two years of even the most ardent of right-wing papers being unable to hide how much of a shambles this government has been. The manifesto's going to be radical and Boris won't be able to hide from just how much most of this country loathes him. I've put myself down to help Labour out with the glamorous world of data entry cause the essential admin is always the stuff that people don't think about, I've chucked them £8 and I might chip in with canvassing as well. Tories might try to control the people but we are the people and we're in control of our own fates. Labour/SNP control/supply deal with a 2nd referendum leading to Remain and it's all back to the pavillion in time for tea and oranges.

I think we can all agree that the best thing is that I personally will get £50 for unlocking and locking the doors at a polling station just in time for Christmas. Also radical socialist government and the death of the Tory party, but mainly the me getting £50 for doing very little

Vitamin P posted:Nice. Don't do this? If you're doing a doorknocking session and a random turns up and they don't check that the person isn't in the Labour party there could be some pretty serious implications in terms of data. You are supposed to be data collecting on behalf of Labour, and the data you are given is given to you on the presumption that you are a Labour party member. I'm not entirely sure of the status of registered supporters regarding the above but if you're going to doorknock you need to be member of that party.

As a usual boardrunner myself I am saying do not do this, it is bad practice. I would be very angry with someone who turned up pretending to be a member who wasn't one because it puts me in a supremely lovely position. This is exactly the sort of behaviour that would lead to me needing to see anyone's membership card if I didn't know them, which is a huge pain in the rear end. I'm not saying it's going to be checked but it is at very least a violation of trust and at most a violation of GDPR which makes everyone's life worse so don't loving do it. I would rather someone not help out than make me an accessory to someone's need to knock a door. Edit: It costs £2.17 a month if you are in part time work or are unwaged. Even if you were only a member for a month that would be absolutely preferable to the alternative. UnquietDream fucked around with this message at 01:18 on Oct 30, 2019 |

They know full well they can't get a majority; their donors know full well the Lib Dems can't get a majority; but as long as there's a solitary dangling strand of probability linked to a Lib Dem victory, they know they've got a supply of upper-middle-class graduates to staff their offices for the next 5 years.

Now there is the Doorstep App (actually a webpage) where labour party stuff is beamed to your smart phone so that could be even more GDPR (though I'm given to understand that the data is wiped from your phone within 3 hours or something). (Ed: but you have to sign in to membersnet with your LP sign in so you have to be a member to get it, though if you are canvassing in a pair with someone else then there's an issue).

I’ve been very busy today so just tossing in to say in extremely hype, and we’re working on something from the podcast team for election night which will either be a disaster from the start or will be good to begin with and then slowly descend into drunken awfulness so look forward to that.

I think it's important for the thread to have opposing views like Flaps and that guy a few days ago who was a self-sucking landlord. It's nice to see a debate that can reinforce or challenge your views The issue is that they never listen and despite their arguments being proven irrelevant post them again and again
