Emergency proxy votes for no ID are only allowable in certain circumstances Quote Your photo ID is lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged (PDF) after the deadline to apply for a Voter Authority Certificate has passed and you want to vote in an election which requires photo ID. This form can also be used if your Anonymous Elector's Document is lost, stolen, destroyed or damaged.

Genie Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 Quote Former Conservative Prime Minister Boris Johnson was turned away from his local polling station after forgetting to bring acceptable photo ID. And people voted for him to run the country link 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bickster Posted May 3 Moderator Share Posted May 3 Aside from the council elections, this thread is worthy of your time on the figures that Badenoch presented to the house. It's not just inflation adjusted, which you can see below but also the gold illusion where gold is entering and leaving the UK much more than before and those figures are counted in the import / export figures.

The Fun Factory Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 3 hours ago, Genie said: And people voted for him to run the country link That cheered me up a little when hearing that after coming back from the game last night. You can't make it up. I think the one to look at is the west midlands mayor. Andy Street has tried hard to not even mention Sunak, but if he loses then all bets are off. Could be some movement to get rid of him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisp65 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 I wonder how many of the +39 gain for independent councillors were once David Horton, Conservative. But are now David Horton, Independent Local Gentleman Farmer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 The rumours are that Street is going to hold the west midlands mayor vote, though result not due until tomorrow. That will probably avoid an utter tory meltdown and they will limp on until October. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fair enough... but does that really matter for a WM mayor? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tbh when children are being murdered in a war then the local transport system seems irrelevant. I'm sure if we had a vote on whether to provide arms to Israel then the result would be conclusive. We don't though , the first chance to show voters horror at our governments actions, with main stream parties sitting on the fence, is to vote for an independent, I would have given the chance.

Yeah, I just don’t understand that thinking tbh. At a General Election, sure. It shows the unhappiness. When voting for your mayor? Odd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They protest every weekend up and down the country, something is seriously wrong when we supply arms to bomb civilians and criticise/punish Russia for doing the same thing.

chrisp65 Posted May 3 Share Posted May 3 We might be supporting Israel with military assistance and political cover, but it shouldn’t influence your vote or cause you to protest. Just vote for more of the same and then wish really really hard for something nice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post blandy Posted May 3 Author Moderator Popular Post Share Posted May 3 They just had Police commissioner election where I live, and as I have no idea even after doing a search on that internet, what any of the 3 candidates would do etc. I decided not to bother...then I thought, No, don't be soft, there's a chance to walk to the end of the road, go in the voting place and (using a pencil) kick a Tory. As much as electing a plod boss in nothing to do with National bolitics, if someone is daft enough to associate themselves with that bunch of words removed, then I have a duty to go and try and get rid of them. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
