General Election to be called today?

Spoiling a ballot paperr. It does at least show a voter turned up and expressed an opinion, and spoilt papers still get counted as spoilt papers so are included in the turnout figure.

Things can only get wetter

🤣

I agree. I’d love to read what people write on them, I bet there are some corkers.

Spoiling your ballot paper isn’t funny. It’s an insult to those who fought and died to get you the right to vote.

But if you can’t decide who to vote for because you don’t have confidence in any of them what else can you do?

It’s not meant to be funny GSM. It’s a protest vote and it gets counted.

Conscience dictates that I vote Reform. Never has such a healthy working majority been so thoroughly and shamefully squandered. We cannot keep rewarding failure and boy have this lot failed - on so many fronts.

But surely it illustrates that you turned up and had no viable option you liked?

It doesn’t matter whose “theme tune” it’s attributed to, it was a lone, well known, Lib Dem protestor and absolutely nothing to do with the LP.

It was awful and very rude.

And who do you think pays for him to stay in London, to travel on the trains, to stand and make a fool and nuisance of himself? Bit of a coincidence he chose their theme tune. 😝

Please don’t tell me what ‘I’m inferring’ Cossy. You’ve got me wrong.
And I’m not a Tory.
Embarrassing to say I voted for Blair in 1997.

Hey ho.
I’m voting Reform next. The electioneering (or any disruptive juvenile antics from Bray) will be white noise for the next five weeks.

I think the 5 weeks or so will be bloody awful!

Sorry if I offended you, you’re not the only one charmed by Blair!

It was clearly done to wind up Sunak and this protester has also disrupted events run by the LP!

Does it pain you so much to admit that the LP are not 100% wrong all the time?

No, it isn’t. The insult is in not voting, rather than in exercising your democratic right to vote but voting for none of the available candidates. If you do that with humour so much the better.

Steve Bray isn’t funded by any political party, but by public fundraising, things like “gofundme” type of campaigns set up by individuals and funded by many small donations. I believe over £35,000 has been raised in this wa cross the last few years.

Sorry I’m this way across the last few years.

Ooops In this way!!

Hes not connected to Labour, hes a grifter and utterly self indulgent but no not labour.

Btw, I have a grudging admiration for his passion and comittment and for truly standing up for his beliefs, though another part of me thinks he’s just a bit bonkers!

Tory: An 80 seat majority and they totally betrayed conservatives and brexiteers who voted for them. They deserve annihilation. Bye to the lot of them. Don’t bang the door on the way out.

At least he’s still out there reminding people what a disaster Brexit has been. I mean, where are all of those amazing trade deals that we were promised?

Just watching Sunak hugging and kissing all those Conservative MP’s who have probably already sent their letters in and have been plotting to replace him as leader….

Sky suggesting that as far as the Tories are concerned, this is as good as it will get. From now on in all the figures are likely to stall and go into reverse.

I think we should all bide our time and await July 5th. It’s not a done deal, I take nothing for granted!

I am the same! I am so frightened that we end up with 5 more years of spiralling ever downwards. Anything worthwhile will have disappeared.

Same here. Even more so if Trump gets re elected

The reference to five years just reminded me of a song that sums up the way I think many of us feel Whitewavemark2, this was performed after the 2019 election but the sentiment still remains exactly the same.
