You gotta love the people who think that by not voting they are making a point.

 

News flash! Voting is how you make a point, by not voting you are making absolutely no point at all

 

None of this "they are all the same", because they clearly aren't. None are perfect, but its gotta be better to vote for the lesser of the evils than to be silent and allow someone else to vote in a party you least agree with.

 

Well said, mind if I use that?

[Yuri 10]

3 Independents standing. Good for them.

National party politics, treats locals like a joke. I will vote independent.

[Yuri 10]

When can they start knocking on our doors, from today?

Sort of agree, but if/when an independent gets in is not the hope that it might one day be the national party.

An Independent candidate is an individual, they would have to form a political party and stand as such. I think once they do that they loose focus on local issues/ward issues.

NO WORRYS MATE, VOTE LOCAL!

NO WORRYS MATE, VOTE LOCAL!

 

For me that also means only voting for a candidate who actually lives locally too, in my ward.

 

Who'd have thought the only one who lives nowhere near is the Labour candidate. Couldn't Labour find anyone in Walkley to represent them? Why import a champagne socialist from S11? Even the Conservative candidate is on the boundary.

You must live in either Darnall, Crookes or West Ecclesfield. There is no independent candidate standing in any other ward.
