Political Thread in memory of David Reid. (R.I.P.)

Greens smashed Gorton and Denton leaving Labour trailing in 3rd.

Starmer must surly be on borrowed time now with his backbenchers baying for his blood

[Supersub6]

Less than half those eligible to vote turned up to do so yesterday as I suspected.

Let's face it, that is a reflection on the discontent felt by lots of people who really feel that there is not one party who they can trust and no leaders at their head. Cattle trucked without a doubt. See you in a couple of weeks.

Enjoy your cruise mein freund.

From a person on the internet:

“There seems to be a misconception concerning how I feel about Farage
To set the record straight I don’t dislike him, and I don’t!
I loathe him with every fibre in my body.
The last time I felt this level of hatred for another person was Thatcher the woman that tore the country apart and we are still trying to get it back together and Trump who I no longer even consider a human being, I refuse to even call him an animal because that’s a disservice to animals so I simply associate him with excrement we sometimes get on ours shoes when not being careful where we walk.
This bunch of bigoted bloated buffoons in Reform, Reclaim, Restore, Rehash, Rebrand or whatever the latest names the racist and fascists come up with that prop up bars in locals blowing off the latest bull boring the hell out of everyone else is something else.
Farage is a liar; I’ll go on record saying that and he can sue me if he so wishes but let’s see if he does. Every time that frog faced caricature with a gaping hole flaps its lips it’s lying, it spits out contemptuous bile and drivel to feed the plebs something new to be angry about. That’s all he and his cohorts have, constant rounds of anger to help spread the numbers in their bank accounts further.
This gurning megalomaniac who looks like he’s being worked like a hand puppet badly has the hand of Trump and Putin shoved so far up his backside both making him say what they want. It’s the reason he can never seem to keep his face straight at any time.
A real man of the people with a multimillion-pound property empire, forking out ?900,000 out of his back pocket to buy a house! Earning millions a year from side jobs and backhanders while ignoring the job he’s supposed to do. Shaking hands with people who want to rip wildlife apart while still alive for “fun”.
Never done a day’s hard graft in his life but he doesn’t have to because you schmucks will keep believing every idiotic lie that comes out of his mouth.
I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again in case you didn’t understand it the last time.
“He’s a treacherous, odious, disingenuous, spiteful, malignant, hateful, malicious, virulent, devious money hungry slime ball out to look after no one else but himself.”
You can quote me on that.”

And that’s why the Green Party won in east Manchester.

I listened intently to the victor's acceptance speech, she sounded like how a true socialist should speak. I'd have voted for her in a heartbeat.

Have a listen guys, there's hope yet!

"Democracy Volunteers, the poll observer group accredited by the Electoral Commission, said it had witnessed ?concerningly high levels? of family voting in Thursday?s by-election. The practice ? which can involve husbands telling their wives how to vote ? was made illegal by the Ballot Secrecy Act 2023."

Ship 'em in, tell 'em who to vote for, ship 'em back home again.

Straight out of the Trump, "the election was rigged playbook" eh mon ami?

It was thoroughly amazing the matter was not flagged whilst the polls were open.

I wonder if these creepy "Democracy Volunteers" can speak Urdu and whose payroll are they on for expenses?

The internet rant (post 3063) is regrettably typical of what passes for political argument when it is in fact just a string of bile hate & insults. It is of course to be expected when Globalise the Intifada is the precursor to physical attacks by Palestine Action & others not just on property and works of art but also violence to persons. All these actions are then justified by calling opponents racists, Nazis, and genocidal thugs. Whether that spew of internet hatred also explains the Green Party success in Gorton and Denton is by and by. I suspect the actual cause is the wholesale defection of the Muslim vote from Labour to the Greens. That tells me the Greens will not do so well in other seats. It also indicates that Starmer’s much trumpeted great diverse harmonious multicultural Britain is just a pipedream. Voting in elections could very easily become more sectarian and it will be very hard if not impossible for any party to represent itself as a One Nation Party. That is bad news for both the Conservatives and Labour the two main traditional parties. It could also in our continuing First Past the Post system produce even more ludicrous results in a General Election. Be warned.

Starmer’s alleged great diverse harmonious multicultural Britain dream is just old fashioned bollox because he's a Red Tory Sir Outwood, soon to go the same way as sinkov's Blue Tory Party, who even lost their deposit in east Manchester.

This latest batch of Reform, Tory and Labour politicians give the impression they think the electorate are all as thick as sinkov's mince.

The delightful lady plumber from Bolton suggests we are not.

I care not how many properties the lovely Hannah from Hale (one of the very wealthiest areas in Cheshire) has. I cannot stomach a party whose leader thinks women can have a *****, advocates even more open borders than Starmer’s Labour and believes the solution to the drug problem is to legalise the lot including Class A drugs. I do not want Greens and their lunacy anywhere near my grandchildren. Other people might find them harmless and progressive. I most certainly do not.

Trust me on this Sir Outwood, we need a political party that will engage in Progressive Politics.

I'm pretty certain neither a busted flush (Badenoch & Co.), a fervent genocide supporter (Starmer), a rampant racist (Farage & his Recycled Tory Party) nor the Greens run by a gay Jew will provide what we need - do you?

It was flagged mon ami, the day before the polls were open. See Post 3055.

Can you get your photoshop to work on this mon ami, all we need is some fags and a tinny and we've got another Theresa May.

She sounded like just another fully paid up member of the Loony Left to me. Anyone who thinks this indicates some sort of 'Green' or Lefty revival needs to go and get their bumps felt, she was simply piggy-backing on the shipped in Muzzy vote. In any straight fight between Reform and the eco-loons, the loons would be toast, as they'll find out at the next GE.
