OwlFancier posted:Well yes I'm working off the assumption that voter ID is functionally pointless other than as a method of vote suppression. Which it is. It's a solution to a problem that doesn't even exist: in the last GE there were exactly seven claims of personation, and none of them had any supporting evidence. But it's also a solution to a problem that does exist, if you're a Tory - large demographic groups that don't vote for you.

My only choices on the ballot are Tory, Lib Dem, and some party called "National Housing Party - No More Refugees" who I'm definitely not going to vote for. So Lib Dem it is.

The local Labour Party have been blowing up my phone every day for fundraising until I eventually picked up told them Keith is anti union so I can’t support them (I thought to just cite one issue rather than go on a long one ) and they haven’t called since. My areas realistically between Tory and Lib Dem anyway.

I guess I'm going to vote labour as at least they are making moves to make the city more pedestrian and cyclist friendly. The conservatives (and commenters on the local paper) are rabidly pro driving anywhere and everywhere and think if you can't drive and park directly in front of a shop then the whole highstreet will die.

The tories in Leicester are pro free bus travel, and the uniting factor of every party except Labour is that they're against the elected mayor.

I don't really wanna give away where I live even though I think I might have already said but yeah this is a pretty big deal around here as well and it's like the one thing that has a noticeable effect on me personally

Great take: https://twitter.com/MutzUk/status/1654082131079884801?s=20 because going to vote a few minutes walk from home is just exactly like getting on a plane to fly 3000 miles.

If I were going to make a hot take about voting, I would probably pick a country where the army didn't undo an election within the past decade because they didn't like who won.

Yes but I'd have thought tracking how many people you turn away would only reflect negatively on them, so they won't bother.

Tesseraction posted:Why would Peston, a nominal journalist, be "undermining" Starmer when he's not subservient to him? Are they complaining that he's reporting on something actually happening? No such thing. Especially not in the case of Peston who's the son of a Baron. Although they might have been getting mad that Boaby Pesto is a Labour Peer and won't be biased the way they want him to be.

Basically JoMo's saying if someone's hanging outside asking people if they have ID then those who go home as a result aren't recorded. Only the people who actually get to the desks are
