Dont let anybody (certainly strangers on the internet) convince you otherwise. Vote for who you want to and what you believe in. (even if it’s the Tories). Theres this strange agenda in play where you are more socially accepted the further left you are and vocalise it. Well said 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rodders Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Worried how the stupid voter ID aka voter suppression law effects things in some constituencies. Won't affect overall result of course but already heard anecdotal evidence of people not being able to vote because of no photo ID. Hopefully (ha! It's keir) labour bin it off on day 1. Serves no purpose other than to disenfranchise citizens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And anyone who votes Reform is one of them. Bell ends because they have different views to you? I know a Reform voter is a very nice bloke. I will say he’s not the brightest but he certainly isn’t a bell end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loads of great people have different views to me. However one thing that makes them great people is that they'd never consider voting for Reform. Because if they did, that would make them a bell-end. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Serves no purpose other than to disenfranchise citizens. That helps Labour more surely? Sweeping statement alert but I presume lack of Voter ID is concentrated on deprived areas which is hardly a hotbed of Tory acolytes. And also elderly groups who might not drive anymore or go abroad so passport expired (although think I read ID is accepted if it you look vaguely like your mugshot....). If the under 20s are constantly showing off on Insta about weekend trips then their Voter ID is working fine and they can spare a few minutes to vote today which is important. Was getting in the mood last night and watching the compilation of Exit Polls since 1992: 1992 a huge shock but before my time. 2015 was also a big shock at the time as everyone assumed it would be another hung parliament (and so no Brexit...) and 2017 was hilarious outcome but ultimately just lead to the slow political death of May.

Labour coud well get a simliar amount of votes tonight as back in 2017, but seems likely to get a landslide victory. Shows the first past the post system is a strange bird.
