To ask if you have voted yet?

[AllaMova]

Today, Wales and Scotland are voting for who will govern their National Parliaments and England are voting in their local elections.

I voted this morning and it was super quick. I was in and out in two minutes.

Have you voted yet?

Yes, went at 7:30 on my way to work.

Voted by post.

Labour for the constituency and Libdem for the list.
DH spoiled his ballot paper
DS voted Labour for both votes (first time voter) He voted in person and said the polling station was quite busy.

Your local councillors will not have those powers that you're looking for.

I haven’t

Heading out to vote after work.

I did take the time so consider my options though, I’m not sure why you think otherwise. Just because I haven’t written an essay of an explanation on here doesn’t mean it isn’t a carefully thought out decision.

but you said people who are "not political" shouldn't be bullied into voting? I agree about not bullying people for any reason but how can anyone be "not political"?

I agree, in an ideal world people should consider their vote carefully. Many don’t - it’s either to keep the other lot out, or because they’ve always voted that way or they believe their algorithms spewing division.

For me, I won’t vote today because I didn’t take the time to research it all properly. The reason I didn’t is because I opted out of all political discussion about 12 months ago because it was making me miserable. I’ve just recently dipped a toe back in the water and can see it hasn’t changed. People calling each other thick, racist or fascist rather than trying to understand each other.

No. Never have. Never will.

Nope we had ours last year

I never said anything of the sort.

Same - labour area but voted reform.

No but I will after work.

Do they allow her in?

Voted by post as usual because I travel a lot for work. I usually flip flop between green and labour but reform are likely to get in here so I voted labour this time. Also I met the labour councillor canvassing a couple of times and she mentioned some things that are important to the local community that I would like to support.

Yes, of course, sadly about 2o percent of the voters had voted, so hopefully a rush tonight, I don’t understand not bothering or the even more ludicrous spoiling your vote. No one gives a shite about that. They count it as they have to and move on.

not arsed voting and then thinking you can whinge you don’t like what your council is doing. Everyone should vote.

My Reform is expected to win in my hometown, but would never win where I currently live.

My DM wasn’t going to vote today, but she saw how tight the polls were, and decided to vote to help keep Reform out.

I'm in a village surrounded by flag fliers so it's pretty clear which way the wind is blowing. The village itself is very red but massively outnumbered.

I kinda feel it's inevitable. People will vote Reform. They will get in at the next election. The world won't magically get better. Hopefully the itch will be scratched and it will run it's course without being another massive fuckup like Brexit or Trump, but who knows?

I think if people sit on their arse and don't vote, then they get what's coming for them. I am not going to criticise anyone who does vote, regardless of whether it's for a party I despise.

Yes (Wales), I always vote. I would go and spoil my ballot rather than not vote. People don’t appreciate how lucky we are in this country

Wales and have voted. 3 adults here and all voted Plaid to keep Reform out if we can

Only 43% of England councils have elections today.

Some twats will vote Reform as a protest, but they will never win a general, despite the amount of platform offered to Farage.

Yes, polling station is right by dds school so would be very lazy not too.

I went lib dem, I am not a lib dem supporter but they have a lot of support in the area and I want to keep reform and Tory chances to a minimum. Also the candidate is very local and I think that is important for councillor elections

What?

Yes the violent immigrant hating, flag waving mobs are far more preferable 😂

The poster i quoted was saying about taking her DD to show an example but kids are not allowed in our polling station
