We may be from the same areaMy dad used to say that if they tied a blue ribbon on a pig round here it would get elected.
Our results have only just come in and the Lib Dem candidate has been elected. I'm shocked and heartened.
Typo there ... should have read canvassingI've never known so much confessing for an election in my area. The Labour Party and Lib Dems obviously smelt blood.

My council spent 0, that's inline with every other service; 'no expense spent' is their motto ... so well done.How much each council spent on the coronation

At least they're consistent! Mine didn't declare but I know there were some events so they spent something.My council spent 0, that's inline with every other service; 'no expense spent' is their motto ... so well done.
I think our county council announced they were having a pay-rise freeze sometime back (after years of above inflation pay rises) ... it was as if we should all be out on our door step clapping or something.It's tasteless that some councils spent up to £180k on this, just a month after asking people to pay more council tax for the same or worse services than last year.
The Tories have largely been successful in achieving their Neo-liberal aims. Their problem is that they are finding it harder to convince enough people that those aims are in their interests. That is why the party is moving even more to the right. The current 'NatC' conference is an indication of where the party will go in search of votes. Voter suppression is only part of that strategy. I suspect that it will still appeal to a significant minority of voters.Rees-Mogg casually admitting that the voter ID policy was to suppress non-Tory support. Good it had little impact on the local elections.

Also, anyone who does support the Tories, judgement aside, do tactics like this fill you with confidence? The party who have been in power for 13 years have to resort to dirty tricks to boost their chances because they can't rely on their successes, because there are few to mention and the ones that can be mentioned are overshadowed by the shit state of the country now.
It's embarrassing. People are experiencing a rapid decline in living standards and all our ruling party can do is attempt to rig votes in their favour and speak at events where they're being trashed by speakers who downplay the holocaust and deny climate change.The Tories have largely been successful in achieving their Neo-liberal aims.

Jacob Rees Mogg admitted they introduced it hoping it would work in the Tories favour. They clearly thought the impact would be significant enough to go through the trouble.NI have had voter ID for years it’s not watertight but hasn’t caused any problems, most people are on the electoral roll anyway and have some form of Id .
