Sheffield local elections - May 2016

[envelope7]

Thank you for posting this news! I thought the gorgeous weather yesterday might have actually returned better turnout levels, so that's surprising.

 

Well I suppose actually people might have been thinking more about the beer weather for an after work pint somewhere, rather than remembering to go vote!

No surprise re the outcome, but what an underwhelming turnout!

Well done Gill Furniss. UKIP vote down by 2.7 %. Just when is this UKIP Northern breakthrough going to come, they've been predicting it for several years now

Augurs well for Labour in the Council results this afternoon

 

Shameful turn out though

[Ridgewalk]

Gill Furness elected wth an increased majority in Brightside. UKIP vote down by 2.7%. Since the General Election

Looking at the figures, it's a pity about the mixture as before result, but I suppose it reflects the demographic of the area? Let's hope she does better for Sheffield than her predecessors have managed.

 

Disappointing.

Disappointing result there, but only to be expected, given the demographic. Can nothing break the Labour stranglehold in this city? Just have to hope she does better for us than her predecessors have ever managed.

You do understand that any society operates by a common understanding and abidance of the rules? So you're saying that average Joe public can't advise people and uphold the law because they aren't the police? This forum is still a society, it has it's own mini eco-system, it just so happens to be an online society that somewhat mirrors the local population. The fact that i chose to exercise my right in reminding people what a rule is supposed to be and that people were either flouting it or may tread lines is my own choice - as it is your own choice to take offence in your misconception that I'm 'telling' people what to do. By your own comments in that regard, I have no power to do that as indeed it is the job of admins and moderators - I can however advise people to look out for things that may have been missed and make their own judgement calls, which is exactly what I did do.

 

Again telling people what to do and how they should act. Get off your high horse.

I think you have a perception problem - I asked you questions and stated my opinion from a position of logic and you come back with a petty response. Nowhere in my previous post (that you have quoted fully there) did I tell anybody to do anything. Do you not also think that it's rather telling that others seem to have agreed with me, yet nobody seems to have backed your position? In any case the original point is slightly moot now seen as the ballot boxes have now closed.

Hopefully they will disappear after the EU referendum.
