Local elections

Were there any shocks ? Can’t access the bbc results as I’ve been blocked

How come you have upset the BBC

I have stated in previous topics, that when I am disillusioned with the usual political parties at election time, I try and vote for a local looney, because I do believe that folk should vote, and so why not vote for a looney ?

However in my Ward, there was only one possible candidate, just the one independent, and he just wasn't in my eyes a credible lunatic

So I voted for Reform (sorry whupsy)

But if I had been living in Ince, I would have had a genuine, bona fide lunatic to vote for, one 'Zoran C Zok'



He got 37 votes, and 30 of those votes will have been from folk who have bad eyes, who thought that they were voting Labour, and they put the X in the wrong box, so if I had been living in Ince, I would have been 1 of 8 voters genuinely voting for a looney, so my vote would have counted much more, than being 1 out of the 1019 votes the winner got.

I was shocked the Tories got any votes after 14 years of incompetence

Nothing will change, regardless of who 'gets in' at local elections. Parliamentary elections might result in some changes in the long-term.

There is a doctrine of which I subscribe too ....

"Everything alters,, but nothing changes"
