Election Year or Fear!

Who?s dragging themselves down to the local Scout Hut to vote in the ?locals?? Not sure I will but if I did it would be for the two parties who in a rare bit of chance I interacted with within 10 minutes of last week Green or Reform. Both candidates were actually from the next area along from mine so I can?t vote for them personally but both put over sensible statements of intent, the Reform guy would defo have got my vote as he?s very local (in fact he farms the field behind my house) but we?ll see.Anyone?

Thanks for the reminder. We both have postal votes, on the basis that we can never be certain we’re going to be in the country at the specified time, and they have to be in by May 1st.

There are no circumstances in which I would vote for Reform and being torn between Reform and Green seems odd seeing as they are virtual opposites.

I did meet the Tory candidate last week and we had quite a sensible chat, but I’ll be voting Labour on the basis that, despite all the bad publicity (some self inflicted via poor communication) I think they’ve had a reasonable start in enormously difficult circumstances and I know very little individual detail about any of the five actual candidates.

Aren’t all candidates ‘very local’ seeing as these are local elections? Certainly all our candidates are resident in the Derbyshire Dales.

I don't know about the local thing nationwide rA, I seldom vote in local elections but the two fellahs I met persuaded me to by their interaction and 'promises'. For detail, it was early morning and they'd chosen the same car park to meet their canvassers

I'm not partisan so not interested in party labels especially in local elections, and what they were promising were more about local matters than national (albeit local to the next-door ward, see my earlier post!). Both were very polite about their opposite numbers, they didn't go as far as a handshake, you never know who has a camera these days...

Lol…everyone! As I think I’ve said before, people used to rush to help, now they take a photo/video!
