Well he’s a fool because their costings are clearly available for all to view.I had this discussion with a Labour supporter on x. I said I wanted to see costings to enable me to make a decision. they responded with I just need to trust them, they don't need to cost anything til they're in power
I will do that on May 2nd on the form for Police Commissioner. It's an unnecessary position and a waste of public money. I asked a local Lib Dem councillor about it, and apparently the LDs are against Police Commissioners too, so that's another point to consider.Same as last time, I'll spoil my paper because I could never vote Labour.
I'm Conservative but didn't trust Boris or the party last election so spoilt my paper then.
Why spoil it, why not just not vote? Because I have a right to vote and feel everyone should vote. Spoiling the paper shows my feelings but registers as a vote.
If you live in a predominantly white middle class area, and have nothing important to achieve any more, your main concerns will be knife crime, immigration, dole scum and the EU and, let's face it, in white middle class areas the Tories have absolutely nailed it in all four of these areas. In fact, the more I think about it, Faversham is really nice and mostly white, and someone was thrown out of the local comp for carrying a pen-knife 15 years ago, and nothing much has changed since Brexit.....I have made up my mind - let's have another five years of full steam ahead with Sunak!I’m loving the fact that there are 19 individuals on here who have lived through the last decade and thought “Yup, this is what success looks like, more of the same please.”

More or less deluded than those thinking that the solution to the current issues facing our country is re-electing the party that has proven itself incapable of sorting it out?Anyone thinking that Labour are going to be the solution to the current issues facing our country are totally & utterly DELUDED...........Get help !!!
The NHS is being deliberately run into the ground, and I would like to keep it. If that is delusion then I am deluded.Anyone thinking that Labour are going to be the solution to the current issues facing our country are totally & utterly DELUDED...........Get help !!!
Nail. On. Head.Anyone thinking that Labour are going to be the solution to the current issues facing our country are totally & utterly DELUDED...........Get help !!!
They don't need any.None of them.
Labour have no policies
Can you ever remember an opposition that was 'strong'? I can't. You can aftertime it and say that Thatcher and Blair were strong in opposition because they won, but I barely remember anything about them in opposition. You could argue that Wilson and Heath were strong in opposition because they both beat one term governments, but I would argue the nation was flip-flopping in the 60s and 70s.
And I don't think we have a 'worrying state' in politics at all. There is so much scrutiny now with varied and instant media, and in fact the most winging we hear now is that Sunk (by and large, madcap schemes he inherited such as Rwanda notwithstanding) and Starmer are rather centrist, meaning the instability of extremism is on the wane.
Extremism.....yes, we have the likes of Farage, Thick Lizzie and Corbyn. Where actually are they? As far as I can see, nowhere.
The present HMG may seem poor, but when they get back into opposition, give their heads a wobble, re-engage with one-nationsism again, flush out the chancers down the shitter, they'll get back to sensible I'm sure.
Never knew this. I guess it is to prove the paper is spoilt. Do they look at them or just nod yes to agree a number?I will do that on May 2nd on the form for Police Commissioner. It's an unnecessary position and a waste of public money. I asked a local Lib Dem councillor about it, and apparently the LDs are against Police Commissioners too, so that's another point to consider.
I shall write right across the ballot paper. I DON'T AGREE WITH THIS POSITION.
Spoilt papers are observed by every candidate so your views do get seen. As you say, don't waste your vote as it is a privilege we have in this country.
Lecture over, folks.

Nail. On. Head.
Yes, we found this out at the 2008 local elections when we had a Seagulls Party candidate standing. Three of us allowed in the count.Never knew this. I guess it is to prove the paper is spoilt. Do they look at them or just nod yes to agree a number?
I'm not deluded but will vote Labour. Unfortunately the voting system we have in place only really allows us to look at the current government and wonder whether your only other choice would be better or worse.Anyone thinking that Labour are going to be the solution to the current issues facing our country are totally & utterly DELUDED...........Get help !!!
Such is the state of the country, and the amount of asset stripping going on, I think it will be very last minute (even January?) or I wouldn't put it past Sunak to declare a State of Emergency to continue.Green for me, not just because I have the opportunity to actually get an MP I want, but also because they seem to be the only party taking the challenges this country and indeed the world faces seriously, in a way that the mainstream parties do not.
Even if I was not a Pavilion resident I could not lend Labour my vote, they are a party of Capital now and not Labour. I am hoping that a lot of my Labour voting friends optimism that we'll see a different Labour in government than I have seen over the last five years will be justified. I suspect they will be disappointed.
That said I am looking forward to seeing the Tories run out of town as they have done nothing but damage to this country since 2010. Given that they are the lamest of lame ducks it seems insulting to the nation that will hang around until the autumn before they finally pack their bags and go. The country has been telling them to F**k Off for years now but as usual they are still not listening.
