Johnson & Sunak

Quoted from jamesgtfc

Only 2 candidates stood in my ward and I didn't get a single thing through the post from any of them. It's a common theme across the borough, lots of people noticeably knowing nothing about any of their candidates.

Sadly it's a reflection on our democratic system. There were more seats only contested by two candidates in NEL than I can ever remember.
I was the Labour candidate in Humberston/New Waltham. It was a two horse race. Without my name on the ballot paper the Tory would have been elected unopposed. Local politics is an expensive business these days. Even major parties have to be careful where they spend their money. Its spent where it can be most effective for the party concerned aims. It's not only finance that is at a premium but willing volunteers. I'm sorry to say that although I was out most days not one of them was in Humberston/New Waltham. The wards are huge. Even the big two focus on target seats. Smaller parties don't have the resources to campaign anywhere other than a stronghold (I.e. the Lib Dems in East Marsh).

You could stick someone like Boris in charge of the Tories and people, especially on this forum, would still vote for them and clearly did.

Who clearly did?
Pleased you agree with my point anyway but out of interest  how many different party’s have you voted for them James?

I've voted for 3 parties at various elections over the last 14 years.

Had to spoil my paper as there was only 2 candidates for Humberston. Conservatives are a shambles and Labour are just simply unelectable and for years to come it would seem and here lies the problem.

Very sad to see the poster above calling people cretins because he didn’t like the way they decided to vote🙄

Walked in to my polling station in the same ward, when I got my slip I said to the staff   "is that it...2  ?!" ..

No way I was voting for the current incumbents so went the red route.

Starting to wonder Johnson would move out of No 10 if he lost an election now. Con MPs are absolute cowards for not doing anything about it - although the longer they leave it the worse it gets for them.

Nothing to see here, time to move on to the next inevitable Government scandal/clusterfuck and get on with the pretty abysmal job they're doing. Oh and levelling up, building back better, plus but Corbyn....

Pretty amazing that there's still some claiming Corbyn would have been worse. How could it be worse? Taxes are the highest they've been in decades which was always the accusation thrown at Corbyn. But at least with Corbyn they'd have been spent on improving government services so that the public benefited, not billions of the public's money siphoned off to Tory donors in the form of sleazy contracts.

Reading the mealy-mouthed bullshit spouted by the likes of Vickers (a cowardly yes man) and Nici (shameless careerist) about the whole 'Partygate' affair makes me wonder how people who voted for these charlatans can look at themselves in the mirror at the moment?

These MPs are truly lower than vermin.

I really don’t know what all the fuss is about. We had some cracking lockdown parties at our house and no one died .

Shame
