Just got to vote on town and district elections plus Crime Commissioner, spoilt my ballot paper on the latter because I'm not sure we need one. You voted for Batman then?

Couldn't bring myself to do the rational thing in the end. It's all well and good having an academic idea about what is the optimal decision. It's a whole different story when you actually have to vote Conservative to get there. A little bit annoyed with myself. But we've got emotional intuition for a reason. And that part won over the rational side this time. 😂 funnily enough I stood sweating over my list vote too, this morning, until I was sweating more about missing my train and just went ‘ fook it ‘ Glad your emotional intuition prevailed and pulled you back from the VERY dark side. Hopefully will both be winners should we get the next, most important, vote 👍 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exile Posted May 6, 2021 Share Posted May 6, 2021 I see some English council election results in already.... some big swings from Lab to Con, as Tories seem to be feasting on the Brexit/UKIP vote; a Con gain and LibDem gain from Labour in NE / Northumberland / Sunderland area.

I wish this result was in before Scotland voted. It just showed any Labour revival is years, possibly decades away. There really is no point voting Labour in Scotland when constituents in Hartlepool vote Tory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strangely enough I feel that in Scotland it may be Labour that has a surprisingly positive result. I just dont see how anyone with traditional Labour values cannot see that independence is the only way of achieving a government that supports these values . The difference in voting intentions between England and Scotland has now become humongous. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that alone is a big reason for rise in support for Scottish independence. Westminster is a parliament far removed from Scottish political taste - they may as well be based on Mars.
