Mandy Lifeboats Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 High noon. It's been a good match so far. There is definitely a higher than average crowd ay my match. The local Police have just called into the station. They say it seems quiet elsewhere. Only 10 hours to go. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. i cant see anyone removing this if im honest. At some point surely we see a move towards a digital voting system and that will typically need more identification assurance, not less. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Fun Factory Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 Why would Labour touch voting reform? It looks like they could get about 40% of the vote with over 80% of the seats in parliament. The only way it could happen if the polls are utterly wrong and they need to do a deal with the LibDems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She went for Lib Dems in the end and although not my party of choice I'm very happy that she didn't vote Reform. Driving up to Yorkshire tonight and expecting to arrive around midnight, watch the votes for a couple of hours and then wake up to a new party in charge, absolutely buzzing. That's quite the conversion! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Genie Posted July 4 Share Posted July 4 I’m looking forward to what creative way Labour reconnect with the EU that isn’t fully rejoining. It’ll be some sort of “UK deal” I suspect. Not a member, but we pay in and get some benefits. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm fairly sure the EU have mentioned a few times that you can't Cherry pick ..so it will be interesting to see what is on the table ,maybe he can be the one to final make Brexit work as the opportunity it should have been my personal feel is that with the majority he is likely to command he's in power for 2 or 3 terms and he will seek to re-join us during his second term , but I don't have any foundation for this view and a lot will depend on what happens with the Reform and the Conservative parties in the aftermath of tonight's massacre 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
