itzdrk Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Surprised, SNP didn't even end up in my top two. 3 & 4 out if the 4 I selected. Edited May 5, 2022 by itzdrk 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No sniggering at the back! It's owned by the Russian that Boris helped into the house of Lords. Are you saying it is biased against your mate BoJo? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

the snudge Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 What happens if you don't put a number next to a candidate and just plump for say 3 out of 8? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Wee crowd of miserable genital inspectors staring down the voters at the Town Hall today. No sign of the other parties, understandably. As it turned out, I was not to be dissuaded from performing my constitutional duty, although I didn't get to keep my pencil this time, so I'll be putting in a complaint. Good Guy Good Guy Good Guy Meh Raging local roaster (not me) Sexual deviant (ditto) Confidence trickster (how dare you) No Lib Dem in this ward; they'd likely have fitted in to fifth place, as Gateway Drug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MeadowArab Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Current turnout at my place is pretty much bang on 50% once you include postal votes. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BFTD Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 (edited) Apparently turnout was 46.9% last time, and 39.7% in 2012, so getting to 50% overall would A Good Thing. In other old news - more than 30,000 ballots were rejected in 2017 because people had selected more than one candidate for first place This is actually quite interesting, if you're into that kind of thing.

DrewDon Posted May 5, 2022 Share Posted May 5, 2022 Ended up going, admittedly without a huge degree of enthusiasm: 1. SNP 2. Greens 3. Lib Dems 4. Labour No ranking for the two Tory candidates or the Tory-adjacent "Independent". I would usually have Labour ahead of the Lib Dems, but this is "Aberdeen Labour" I am dealing with unfortunately. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are you lower deeside as well? I'm not keen on the Lib Dem here either but they are not as bad as Aberdeen Labour which basically means Labour and Unionist party. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Tories seem to do quite well here - they are the only party standing more than one candidate (in a four-councillor ward).

The Met said that they wouldn't be releasing any information about any "Partygate" fines that were being issued due to Purdah. Despite this not applying to the police, who are meant to be (and as some people have commented recently appear not to be) independent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
