They asked to check, I said “I’ll just have to leave it then thanks” and gave them my polling card. I wondered why we were pounced on before we even got in the room.

Voted Labour because the Lib Dems and the local independent party sent leaflets through my door saying it had been taken over by hard-left entryists! (Actually, decent human beings joined the CLP after 2015 and enough stuck around after corbyn to outnumber the blairites and vote their people in. The local independent party is made up of ex-labour blairite councillors who flounced out of the party when they got deselected for refusing to attend meetings or campaign with members. I have no idea how the CLP has avoided being suspended by central office.) Edit: At this point it's just fun to vote against someone who called us cultists and stalinists.

RE local elections I mentioned about a week or so ago how I wrote off to both the Greens and Labour because I was undecided and didn't have enough information. The Green councillor got back to me with a lengthy email apologizing for the lack of online updates. Apparently they've been more focused on a ground campaign. He was able to answer all my questions and said the local Green Party doea not hold Shahrar Ali's views, which is a positive! He seemed more focused on left leaning green policy rather than a Tory on a bicycle. Labour did not get back to me at all. +1 vote to the Green Party!

Yeah I'm honestly a bit disappointed. For some reason the local party is more focused on the Lib Dem candidate who is attempting to run in two or three different constituencies today. Not illegal and attention should be brought to the chancer but when the majority of your focus has been on this one guy who would have probably come third anyway... I mean come on. I will probably switch back to Labour at the GE but I'm not too happy about it. RLB is my MP and on a personal level I'd rather be represented by her even if she's under the Labour banner than what alternatives there seem to be.

Better to keep her in because if she loses her seat then you know Starmer's lot will put in the worst piece of poo poo imaginable.

Per Maugham's tweet thread earlier I might deliberately go in and claim I don't have ID on me to get registered as turned away. I guess it depends on if the people outside try it first.

I wish I'd known about the turned away thing. Didn't see a single other person arriving/in/leaving when I went. Guess the lack of awareness of it even happening and the ID requirements are doing their job! Last time there were big queues. I'll be amazed if turnout gets over 15%. Options here are Lab/Con/Lib Dem/Green. Was considering the big, hairy, spunking cock and balls option but held my nose and went Lab [insert joke here]. He's a good lad and has done excellent things for the area. Didn't like the aspect of sending a positive message to the party at large but...eh. If the Lib Dem gets in I can always go and egg her door as she lives on my street (IN MINECRAFT). "Amused" that the Lib Dems have sent out a shitload of pamphlets where their entire platform is cleaning up litter. Guess what's lining the streets right now!

Yeah I noticed that one too, what do they do if you're not? I assume it wasn't always the case, because at some point there'd be people born in the 1890s postal voting, but do people born 2000-05 just have to spoil the form?

What strikes me about this is that there still needs to be a 15 point shift before even a bare majority is indifferent about the monarchy, and a 25 point shift before abolition is even a respectable topic. Neither is likely to happen in any of our lifetimes barring incident.

Considering developing a "hate the King, love Princess Di" persona to send the gammons into a meltdown paradox like when Star Trek asked evil computers "what is love?" Voting today was Lib Dem cos they're already in place and seem like a good egg. I did not vote for the reform UK woman who runs a local vape shop.

Nuclear Spoon posted:yeah i swear the last stat i saw about this was something like a third of total MPs are landlords I don't know what the stats really look like when you get into the detail, but: it's my understanding that MPs get a house in London, paid for by the government, to stay in when elected (so they don't have absurd commutes because they represent nowhere-upon-arse-end) and their family gets to move into it too (because they'll be there for months) Similar to when a company relocates an employee to a branch office in another country and therefore pays for their living arrangements out of company pocket (either by renting a place or just buying a house for them to live in, and for their family too) So the MP's home house goes empty for a while. It kinda makes sense that they might rent it out, and that would technically male them a landlord. They don't need to on their salaries but I don't see it as unreasonable really. That having been said, I'm sure many of them are renting out actual second homes or just straight up have rental empires
