The local elections....,.

Well just did my civic duty in the 2 local elections...... and surprised myself by voting for the blue team in both of them..... still not voting for them in the general tho

Out of a choice of 3. the independent only turned up to 50% of the meetings he was meant to attend and had very little online presence. I didn't get any flier from them for what they stand for.... The labour one I could not even find in a Google and no flier from them....
and the conservatives all had a well thought out list of interests and aims and actually turned up and appears at least to make some sort of an effort in local issues.
When it comes to local elections I think it is far more important that they take in interest in local issues rather than what colour knickers they wear... however do these guys really expect people to vote for them without putting in any effort at all? It is so easy to get a web page set up or even a Facebook profile, even if they don't want to spend a load of postage on fliers.

I get it must be disheartening if you have little chance of winning. but if you are gonna be involved then they need to at least try.... you ain't gonna win over anyone if you don't at least have an online profile

I did go along to some local politics stuff once to see what it was all about - it was just a bunch of jerks trying to one-up each other rather than actually achieving anything.

not too dissimilar to parliament then

I have never been massively invested in politics but at the moment my motivation is an all time low. like most other things in this country it just seems broken..... I don't trust the flier's but at the same time if they don't even try I am not gonna support them. if I had too I would just not vote
