UK General Election voting megathread
  • We left after the exit polls. Was fun whilst it lasted but otherwise no dramas. Need sleep now 😮. Tomorrow will be a good day.

  • Labour aren't going to change the voting system. Unfortunately we have to wait for another hung parliament and then some more before we get representation.

  • I've already postal voted.... but work doesn't know that. Should I leave early claiming I need to line up to vote and go off to the pub instead? Lovely weather for it.

  • Oh yeah, and also comment if I cocked anything up.

    Twelve years ago at the lights near the roundabout you failed to slow down to give that cyclist enough room on the left after exiting. As a result they had to hop the curb and when doing so they became upset and made a swear.

    Oh oh oh, you mean about the post? Right, nah looks great thanks for this. Good job 😁.

  • How are you all planning to watch the 2024 Olympics?

  • Welsh Government promises ban on lying politicians
  • Mr Price proposed a four-year disqualification for Senedd members, ministers or candidates found guilty of deliberate lying.

    I had no idea they illegally dumped waste on a conservation site when I accepted the money. Prove me wrong, Mr. Price.... prove me wrong.

  • A new arena next to the station would have come with a lot of what you think needs to happen. It represented investment on Bristol rather than South Gloucestershire.

    But our ex Mayor didn't see it that way after his trip to the company that wants to build the arena in South Gloucestershire, YTL.

  • Why Britain is the world’s worst on homelessness
  • The next government. They are incentives to help younger generations and renters as these make up a large majority of their voters that helped them into power.

  • what to send other than flowers to say thank you?
  • I want to send a thank you to a local government official

    Larry David voice Flowers?! Too much! It's too much. What am I... about to marry them? Meeeeeh. No. It's not for me.

  • Just wait until November, you'll be doing that anyway 😉

  • Why Britain is the world’s worst on homelessness
  • This is something I'd wish the next government would do. Seriously how hard is it to build? Bust through the bullshit planning restrictions and build houses that people want to live in.

    Figures show the council owns 380,000 works of art, but 90% of it is hidden away.

    Ita a measure of priorities that the council can't pay it's staff properly to organise the streets to be swept or rubbish to be collected but can hoard millions of pounds worth of art.

    news.sky.com Labour expected to pledge Palestinian state recognition in manifesto

    In a move seen as an attempt by Labour to reassure the left of the party, Keir Starmer is set to reveal plans to recognise a Palestinian state.

    Labour expected to pledge Palestinian state recognition in manifesto

    Before you get too excited it's disappointing that this type of obfuscating language is still used as a get out free card.

    >According to people familiar with a draft, it will say a Palestinian state should be recognised as "part of a peace process"

    So basically never because a peace process won't ever happen the way it currently stands.

    >when Sir Keir was asked whether a government he leads would follow Spain, Ireland and Norway in recognising a Palestinian state, he said it had to be "at the right time in the [peace] process
 what it does need is international backing and consensus about the right point". > >He added: "That's only going to happen if we work with our partners on it."

    No it's only going to happen if you show some leadership instead of lagging behind Ireland, Spain, and Norway. Do you want to recognise the state or not? Or do you want to only recognise it when it's beneficial to you and you've calculated that going into an election it's not beneficial to you?

    Disappointing.
