So far today I've seen 3 posts on 3 different local FB groups from people convinced that the reason they haven't received their polling cards for tomorrow's elections is some sort of deliberate conspiracy.

The real reason, however, is that there is no election happening in our area.

You'd think they'd a) have noticed the complete lack of electioneering/canvassing/posters in front gardens etc locally, b) have realised their polling cards hadn't arrived and done something about it before today if they were that invested in voting, or even c) spent 30 seconds checking online before spaffing such nonsense....

They clearly haven't even tried to find out who the local candidates are, because if they had they'd have found out there are no local candidates because there are no local elections here [doh]

In tropical countries pens don't keep very well, for example.

To be fair, that's probably not the uppermost reason for not using pens in British elections Grin

They can't use crayons as the Reform voters eat them

And to clarify, that means you feel superior to a grand total of three other Facebook users. Wow 😂

Probably the people who believe voting in Reform local councillors will "stop the boats".

Yes, probably Reform voters.

OH! How we laughed at this witty observation.
Speaking down about Reform voters intelligence is such wit! Such a novel take in humour.
