Have you voted yet?

I find it hard to understand people who do NOT vote for someone or a party just because they do not get a leaflet from them. In the past such leaflets were hand delivered so depended as to how large a volunteer workforce that party had in the area. However, in General Elections, one flyer is sent out via the Royal Mail(or whatever that is called these days), so in due course you should all receive something from every candidate. Of course, second plus leaflets, etc will still rely on being delivered and for that candidate having the money to have it printed (and then pay a company to deliver them), so parties with millionaire donors (buying themselves a place in the House of Lords), will probably get two or even three such leaflets sent round,.

Surely it is up to ourselves to find out what each party stands for and hopes to do and how. No rely on those short and publicity driven leaflets.

Cannot believe that someone on here stated that Reform were not right wing enough for them. Wonder where they want to set up the concentration camps for 'immigrants'???

Surely, as most of us are Pensioners, we should be thanking the arrival of so many young immigrants. Without them making up the workforce, doubt if there would be money to pay us those pensions,.

Yes, posted yesterday. I always wanted to Vote Early and Vote Often, and only managed it once when voting as a proxy for someone doing a summer job abroad. Managed half of it this time though.

For the previous General Election my postal vote arrived only the day before the election! Grr! Apparently councils did not get sufficient notice to get them posted to citizens abroad. (I'm in Canada) .Happy to say this time my postal vote arrived 8 days ago. I voted for the Labour candidate in my UK Tory constituency. Labour was the runner up last GE and I really, really want Labour to win this time.

Our postal votes were posted days ago. Yesterday a rather eccentric leaflet from our Conservative MP, this morning a charming letter from Keir Starmer all far to late the deed is done

Franbern, by voting for the Greens, you have cast a vote for Labour. The Green Party has no chance whatsoever of forming any sort of opposition, and without a credible opposition Labour will be able to act unchecked.

My postal vote has not arrived yet.

Lib Dem and Tory leaflets are the only ones to have arrived through my letter box. Where I live, in a 'sheltered' complex, most of the residents have postal votes, so Labour and Green candidates have missed out here. I'm voting 'on foot', but probably won't be swayed by new information. I'll be voting tactically.

Yes just posted. Happy to vote Labour as we have already a very good MP lived in the area nearly all her life, and in very difficult times I feel Labour's current policies are realistic but will try to move us towards a better society.

My postal vote arrived yesterday followed half an hour later by a leaflet promoting the labour candidate. I was disappointed that he said nothing about how he hopes to serve his constituency if elected. He doesn’t even live locally. The Conservative candidate, on the other hand, has a proven track record for getting things done and has been around forever.

I don’t want to vote Conservative because I feel we are overdue for change but Keir Starmer does not fill me with enthusiasm.

No other candidates have shoved any info through my letter box so why should they get my vote??

Ho Hum!

Similar situation in our constituency We have a pretty good Conservative MP none of rest of the candidates have provided any information. The Labour candidate does not even live in the area so what can they understand about local issues I had to find out about her by google so I suspect Labour do not expect to win here of they would be putting more effort in

Ho Hum!

This is the first time I havnt voted conservative either but I cannot bring myself to vote labour. Labour and conservative are like two cheeks of the same ass.

I voted Reform although they are not really right wing enough for me. I do belong to an anti immigration party but they are not fielding any candidates in my area.

Yes I’ve just filled in my postal vote.

I too have voted in every election since I was old enough. However this is the first time I haven’t voted Conservative!
