Re: Elections. That time again.

Not decided which way yet, but I've got to do my bit to get the present useless shower out of our council's inner chamber.

Re: Elections. That time again.

Yep......I hope to dislodge the present local labour council who have run the show ever since I can remember, but at the last General Election they were given a bloody nose by losing a couple of seats to the Tory bloke.

We are also voting for a new Mayor, the previous one is also labour and makes our council a closed shop. So I like the look of the independent bloke who promises to open all the community police stations again and stop building so many new houses, among other things.

Re: Elections. That time again.

Too bloody true I'm voting. Have never missed a vote since I was eighteen. The right to vote was hard fought.

As well as the local council, we have the `opportunity` to vote for a West Yorkshire mayor - a needless waste IMO.

And here's me thinking you were a George Galloway girl.

Re: Elections. That time again.

Yes we always vote, I would never not vote. If I didn't like any of them then I'd use my vote as a protest and vote for the one with no chance at all of getting in. Use it or you may lose it...
