Council elections

[WaltonRed]

Get out and vote people.

 

Fingers crossed the Lib Dems get kicked out.

[Elmyn Noos]

I'm facing a dilemma. Labour, my vote of choice since I was a nipper seemingly cannot win in my area. They were way way off the pace last time, but I voted for them anyway.

 

The libdems got in but by something like 26 votes ahead of the tories. It would seem even the odd vote round here can make a big difference.

 

Do I vote Labour, as I would if they stood any chance of winning, or I do help make sure the LibDems keep the fucking tories out of office?

[Anny Road]

It will make you feel dirty but once you try it you will feel so much better.

[WaltonRed]

Noos, nowt wrong with a little tactical voting as long as it keeps the Tories out.

 

The Tories dont even bother round here.

[Elmyn Noos]

You could draw a blade across my throat before I'd vote Tory mate. That is not an option for me. My quandary is whether to use my vote tactically, or vote for the party I support.

You reckon? But voting LibDem though...I'd feel somewhat...errr..pointless.

[Bourbon]

I went to school with Frank Prendergast's son.

 

His nickname was Bombhead.

 

Because he had a swede like a fucking armchair.

I've always voted Labour, always will, as did my Dad and my Grandad before him, but if that wasn't incentive enough, I shall vote Labour just to spite Strontium Dog

Same for me mate. But if the Tories had a chance to get in, and Labour were out of the running, what would you do?

[She Knows It]

I'm not voting, even though my polling station is just over there *points over the road*, because I can't be bothered. I'm championing the apathetic cause.

Look what this woman went through to get you that vote!

BOOOOOO - You've got to vote, SKI. If you don't, for my money you have absolutely no right to complain about anything at all.

[She Knows It]

She looked the type that would benefit from a bit of a tit grope!

 

Seriously though, I hate that feminist argument. I'm grateful for the right to vote, but I equally have the right not to vote if I so wish.

[She Knows It]

BOOOOOO - You've got to vote, SKI. If you don't, for my money you have absolutely no right to complain about anything at all.

 

But if I did vote, and the party I vote for wins, then I lose any complaining rights too. If I wanted a new pair of pretty pink sandals, but in the shop they only had blue DMs, a pair of red wellies and some orange crocs, I wouldn't buy any of them.

 

Besides, I've moved house since registration and I haven't got a polling card.

Who said that?

Arse fisting until you lose your watch is too good for some people.

Then I'd vote SDP or whatever the party in Bronze medal position are called these days.

My comment was slightly tongue in cheek and I agree with that.

 

It's just re-electing the patriarchy anyhow.;)

Police and passers by struggle to maintain grip on yet another helium filled woman. When will this madness end?

[Strontium]

Fingers crossed the Lib Dems get kicked out.

 

Yeah, we really want the city to go back to the way it was pre-1997 :thumbup:

[kelster]

I'm off to stuff my vote on Boris soon. As far as the local elections go I am still wavering between the Conservaties and Lib-Dems. I'll probably take one last look at my council tax bill before I leave the house and decide.

But if you had nothing else to cover your feet, you would have to buy whatever fitted the best.

 

It's impossible for any party to please all the people all the time, you should just go for best fit.

 

If you don't, and say the BNP got in, you would have absolutely no right to complain.

[stringvest]

Red Ken can rely on my vote. I'm not sure it'll be enough.

[Section_31]

My mother ripped up my polling card, I'm seriously thinking about having her arrested.

You can vote without one, most people do. Just go to the polling station and tell them your name and address.
