So you freely admit that Boris Johnson, aka BoJo the Clown, is as bent as a 4 Bob note?   And you'd still vote Tory?   Put down that copy of the Daily Mail and step into the real world lad!     Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I'm thinking of giving it a go. Tread on my fellow man rather than help them for that little bit more for me. Distrust foreigners, that sort of thing.   Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

It's like the issue with the new metro mayors. Labour has just won 11 of the 13 mayoral seats, and the Tories want to change the way people vote for them to a FPTP system, which will advantage them. It's blatant gerrymadering. They've probably been taking lessons from Dame Shirley Porter. 46 minutes ago, West 77 said: The truth is nobody has any real idea of how much voter fraud happens because most of those committing voter fraud will get away with.

It may give them advantage in the future, but I believe all the Mayors elected got the most first preference votes? FPTP gives an advange to the two main partys, in both local, national and Mayor elections. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

I don't think any party ever sticks to their manifesto pledges. Just imagine what would have happened if Labour had stuck to one of theirs in their 1959 manifesto.  Quote: "Every tenant, however, will have a chance first to buy from the Council the house he lives in;" But...

El Cid   220 #1416 Posted May 11, 2021 Gillian Keegan, British Conservative Party politician (MP) for Chichester, has been telling lies on radio four today, the PM program 29 minutes in. She was talking about collecting a parcel from Royal Mail and she said photo ID was required and she had been asked at her local post office. Total rubbish. You will need photo ID to vote soon. Boris Johnson is a bad influence on UK democracy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
