... If we must have numpties making decisions for our city I hope they will be socialist numpties.
You see, that's the problem, too many of the people voting in this city are off their heads.

 

For a start, they won't be Socialist numpties, they'll be Labour numpties. I've had the Socialist numpties at my door, and believe me, you wouldn't want any of them in charge. Not even of the fishing club raffle. :)

 

It just terrifies me, the criteria that many of the electorate use when deciding where to place their cross. Even people who agree that the LDs made a better job of running the City are prepared to vote for other parties, in a vain attempt to 'show' the party heirarchy. Show them what? That you don't care about the City or the people who live or work here, and what is in their best interests? It's madness. Talk about being prepared to cut off your nose to spite your face.

Im not off my head its just lucky dip for me :)

how am i supposed to know what each party's argument is or why they are better than the rest if they dont bother sending literature through the post or canvass door to door in areas i understand maybe not so much door to door but last time they held meetings in a local church hall and discussed with us what their plans were, this time 'nothing' !

Most people are not 'off their heads' as you put it, but wise folk who are able to see through the Lib Dems deceit and lies after they ditched their principles at the last general election, and for what? - they got their once in a generation vote on the changing the voting system (their justification in joining up with the Cons) and they blew it.

Anybody who would vote for these opportunist shysters really WOULD be off their heads!

*sigh* but we're talking about the LOCAL elections and supposedly choosing who will run the City best. Nothing to do with the coalition. Vote Green then, but please don't inflict Labour on us again locally, just because you don't like what's having to be done nationally because of the state Labour left the country in.

 

Don't you care anything about what happens in your city?

Labour's candidate for Crookes Ward, Abdul Khayum, looks well dodgy to me, and more of a Tory with his interests in various businesses! He must be a right Luddite too, as he doesn't have a website! :hihi: He doesn't look progressive, and I suspect that he's not the one for us. In fact I'm certain he's not the one for us! Labour seem to have given quite an opportunity for the LibDems there, but who would want to vote for those turncoats!

 

Amy Mack, the Green candidate looks like she's still at school, bless. And the UKIP guy, Alec Hayward is still at Uni! There's a Con, of course, and some Indi guy. It's a really, really poor choice. Not looking forward to it! :rant:

It's hard to believe you haven't received at least one leaflet from the LDs. The complaints on here are usually that they overkill with the paper! I've had one sheet and a personally addressed letter so far. In addition to the visit from the Socialists. Nothing from any of the others, no Labour, Green, Conservative.

 

They don't seem to do hustings much anymore, probably because of the cost of hiring halls and hardly anyone turning up?
