Election Year or Fear!

See Farage has confirmed Reform have reported the family voting issue to the Police.

As swaledale says nothing was reported during the voting hours, seems a bit strange.

Labour appear to be jumping in the bandwagon too.

Family voting, appreciate the illegality of it but recall tales from my parents who , when they were old enough to vote were under strict instructions who to vote for from their parentd, guess the only difference is they didn't have a chaperone to ensure they did.

Farage even linked the vandalism of Churchills statue to the green victory today.

He’s just copying his mentor (Trump) from six years ago. ‘We lost so someone’s cheated!’

Totally agree with your comment about ‘family voting’. That’s exactly how it used to be and probably still is in many cases. Appreciate Swale’s more informed insight into the precise meaning of the term, but if that’s the case it’s certainly a rule I’ve seen broken many a time and actually advocated by the officials on one occasion.

Its been illegal since 2023, mm doubt officials were advocating family voting, though acting as a chaperoning, where visually impaired or otherwise disabled voter may be assisted can happen. But tbh, most "family" voting is decided prior to entering the polling station and applies equally to staunch Tory voters where pressure and influence is applied to family members as to other voters, Ive actually had to remove family members from a polling station for it and that was well before the actual legislation.
