No point bothering. Turnout will likely be around 25% if that.

Whichever party you vote for at local level the future is ULEZ, LTN's and 15 minute cities. Prepare yourself to be locked up.

I disagree. Local stuff is down to local councillors. My fossil of an MP is useless when asked to help with local issues in my experience

I am voting, with my feet, and with the 70% to 75% who also won't be bothering to legitimise the sham.

Why should I waste my time voting for some semi-literate no-mark?

Voting should be compulsory.

However, there should also be another option on the ballot paper: "None of the above".

That will probably win in most places, and all the candidates should be barred from standing again. This would allow the public to quickly change their useless councillors.

Also valid.

I was more pointing out that:

A. if you want a higher turn out, showing up to vote might be a good idea.

B. If there are specific policies you don't like, vote for someone who has counter-policies.

I understand your point but I have only 3 candidates to choose from. There's no independent and even the Greens haven't bothered in my ward. I'm not voting for either of the 3 standing for various reasons so I'm likely to end up not voting at all... something I'm very much against.

My view would be that I don't want a higher turnout. There is widespread disaffection with politicians. If other want to vote that's up to them, but I see no benefit in voting for parties that don't represent my views and values.

The main difference between Labour and the Conservatives at the moment seems to be that Conservatives think women can't have a penis, and Labour think 1% of women can have a penis. Otherwise their policies are identical, a few tweaks here and there

They simply aren't serious people.

By this argument it would appear you are looking for a party that thinks a greater % of women have a penis, or have I read it wrong

You should see the flier rom my local, incredibly safe seat tories.

"We've kicked out party politics"

Cheeky buggers! I bet they would bring it back if there was a viable opposition.

What particularly annoyed me was the leaflet from the local council explaining the need for photo ID(sic).

Never seen so much blue background colouring on a sheet of paper, including the council's name. Talk about subliminal vote influencing!

If my local 'safe seaters' are hanging around outside the polling station I will ask them what they are doing about the Sadiq Khameras which will be installed at the end of our road soon.

I'm not saying we live in an Orwellian, dystopian and authoritarian alternate reality, but if we did, I think the Government would think it bloody marvellous that some folks could not be bothered to vote due to voter apathy.

If you want more of the same, then just walk on by.

But understand this...

Your apathy does not help the oppressed.

It only helps the oppressor.

ULEZ and LTN's were on the cards over 20 years ago for London, there was a paper published that evetywhere inside of the M25 will be in a ULEZ/LTN/congestion charge area.

I dare say there was similar papers published for other cities as well.

I'm not sure not voting is a sign of apathy, it may well be a sign of anger and disgust at the options available.

And how does turning up to vote for one of the legacy oppressor parties send a message, aside from legitimising them?

Rishi Sunak seems to think that this difference is a vote winner. He keeps being reported saying "I know what a woman is", and letting the listener draw the conclusion that Kier Starmer doesn't. It'll be interesting to see how much this issue is debated when it gets closer to general election time.

If true, it simply demonstrates that the dumbing down of the electorate has achieved even more success since the Brexit referendum.

Of course, no-one should be bothering with the Governments economic record over the last 13 years.

IMO not voting is a protest vote, a poster earlier suggested defacing the ballots paper as a protest which I would agree with as then there would be proof of how many people are really tired of this system.

Meaning exactly what? I should stop it? They are going to stop it? They have taken any steps towards trying to stop it?

Are they even concerned or just hoping to cash in on the slogan with zero actual effort?

Very low chance that they themselves will have non compliant cars.

Did the leaflet make any sort of pledge or promise to reverse this ULEZ scheme if they are elected

Of course not. They were merely painting Labour as the ULEZ bogeyman.

ULEZ charging probably effects very few of their voters anyway because they all drive newish cars.

If I see the candidates hanging around the polling station, I will tell them that I will vote for them in six months time after I see what they have done about it!

"I wonder what will happen on Thursday?

"

For a start, I wonder how many people won't bother at all because of the need to provide photo ID?

I mean, what is wrong with the polling card?

The problem with just using a polling card is it doesn't make it harder for marginalised people to vote. Of which the general opinion is that they don't vote Tory.

Thought not. I see this lots from both parties. They complain about a policy or law but when asked would they reverse it if they were in a position to do so, they hardly ever commit to doing so.

No it just means central govt can continue to prioritise “levelling up funding” to a now smaller number of Conservative run councils.

Looking forward to a Labour government so we can have a complete change of direction to:

Highest taxes on record

Endless money printing

Inflation out of control

Ineffectual public services

Pointless foreign wars

Highest immigration on record

Self destructive net zero posturing

Actually sounds like we've already got a Labour government so not much will change.

It will be interesting to get the numbers of the people turned away due to not having appropriate identification.

The Electoral Commission report that there were a number of people turned away and that these figures need to be evaluated.

Given that voter fraud was cited as the reason to bring in the requirement for voter id's, I hope that the number turned away were less than the number of fraudulent cases however; we will never know and this will never be reported.

It would also be interesting to know what party the people turned away would have voted for but, we will never find out...

Hopefully they just went home and got their ID and returned to the polling station.

Though no doubt it will provide politicians with an opportunity to blame the dismal turnout on "voter suppression" rather than their own failings.

No. Just another false hope for change.

We've seen it before. Tories lose big on local elections. People get excited that something will finally change at national level. But it never seems to follow suit.

I'm struggling to see how anyone thinks a Labour government would actually change anything from where we are now.

It seems to be Labour will just be an absolute continuation of the government we currently have.

"Voting should be compulsory.

However, there should also be another option on the ballot paper: "None of the above".

That will probably win in most places, and all the candidates should be barred from standing again. This would allow the public to quickly change their useless councillors."

"No point bothering. Turnout will likely be around 25% if that.

By bothering to turn up, we will all reduce voter apathy.

Whichever party you vote for at local level the future is ULEZ, LTN's and 15 minute cities. Prepare yourself to be locked up.

Then vote for a local councillor that is against this stuff.

I am voting, with my feet, and with the 70% to 75% who also won't be bothering to legitimise the sham.

Why should I waste my time voting for some semi-literate no-mark?

Also valid.

I was more pointing out that:

A. if you want a higher turn out, showing up to vote might be a good idea.

B. If there are specific policies you don't like, vote for someone who has counter-policies.

My view would be that I don't want a higher turnout. There is widespread disaffection with politicians. If other want to vote that's up to them, but I see no benefit in voting for parties that don't represent my views and values.

The main difference between Labour and the Conservatives at the moment seems to be that Conservatives think women can't have a penis, and Labour think 1% of women can have a penis. Otherwise their policies are identical, a few tweaks here and there

They simply aren't serious people."

Unfortunately true!

Or perhaps it is simply that people were turned away having had no id therefore the turnout was poor.

Not for only the 'losing' parties but for every party.

Between voter apathy and ID's, this country's politicians are increasingly voted in by less and less people.

Interestingly enough, many people (some on here) who complain about the politics and laws, don't even bother to vote.

Not having someone on the ballot paper who agrees with your views is unfortunate but, on that same ballot paper, there will be people who tend to agree more with your viewpoint than others and it is those people who should be voted in.

All the candidates, at some time leading up to the elections, make themselves available to the public and people should take advantage of these opportunities to ask questions and voice their concerns.

There is no excuse for apathy and voter id's plays nicely into the hands of the political parties who expect the working class to not have them.

It is only 'losing' councillors complaining though.

Voter apathy has been a thing in this country forever, its not likely to change without some real drastic change, which we aren't gonna get.

Neil Oliver is funny aswell, I guess I have a warped sense of humour, tbh it isn’t a news channel, it’s a right wing propagandist echo chamber catering for the feeble minded (unless you watch it for laughs)

Makes a change from the BBC though, which is just a left wing propagandist echo chamber catering for the feeble minded (and you can't even watch it for the laughs as they are all so miserable).

You stick to GB news then, the BBC want to thank you for paying for their license though

I don't pay it. "

Of course you don’t , you stick to GB news, Kermit will be on later

No local elections in our area. Pretty much resigned to the country going down the toilet at this point so focussing on looking after our own interests.

It's still got further to go down the toilet?

Blimey, that is a grim thought

What are Labours ‘woke agenda’ policy’s ? we be here all day to go through them all so just to give you one they want zero carbon electricity by 2030, nothing wrong in going carbon zero but its not feasible in 7 years from now"

I find this very bizarre.

What's this got to do with being "aware, especially of social problems such as racism and inequality"?

You were trying to compliment someone on their 'bizarre' views?

Some of you guys do have a strange way of trying to insult and then backtracking. Just f*cking own it.

I find it strange how those that must watch it or they couldn't comment on it, get triggered by people who they assume watch it

I have watched it a few times, good comedy value, especially Farage & JRM

Ah problem solved! I have read the synopsis and it is a news channel.

Enjoy subsidising my non payment. When the 1930's licence fee is finally scrapped and 98% of the population has given up paying, you can carry on handing over a few thousand a year to keep your hero Lineker in the lifestyle he has become accustomed to.

They are laughing at you, and you are too dumb to see it

When is it going to be ‘scrapped’ , a few thousand a year , it cost £159, amazing value, and Gary Linekar is a national hero and worth every penny, you stick to Neil Oliver and his crackpot show

In my ward there was a 34.28% turnout with 1404 papers issued but there were only 6 spoiled papers.

Oddly, the two conservative candidates didn't get almost identical votes, nor did the labour pair.

Also just noticed that the two sitting tory candidates were listed as 'Local Conservatives'

Presumably to disassociate themselves from the national party and its poor reputation at the moment.

You seem to know an awful lot about GB News for someone who thinks it's terrible, and appear to be pretty fixated about it given how often you mention it.
