Be careful about approaching dogs at polling stations. They are probably Russians. Also check side streets for black Zughlis. Do not give your polling card to anyone calling himself Ivan or Svetlana.

I have a certain level of respect for what amount to one issue parties really. The likes of UKIP and Greens at least have the ability to nudge the major parties one way or another depending on how people feel about said issue at the time. More than ever, politics is full of lies and weaseling out of things so it's a relief in a way to have parties whose policies are inextricably baked in.

It doesn't really work with non one issues parties, as they can always claim to have other priorities or just drift away from their purpose. If you vote for the Brexit Party you know what you're going to get. Parties that have one issue at their core are at worst potentially a very useful protest vote, at a time where people feel that their votes for the main parties are worth f*** all.

My friend got re-elected in Somerset. In 2011 a group of independent councillors persuaded the voters to kick out the party machine. They have since been re-elected twice although not the same people as the independents pledged to only serve 2 terms and they have kept their word. The council is 100% independent so I guess they must be doing something right. This is my friend's 2nd term so she will not stand next time. She has already started the process of mentoring a potential successor, subject to voter approval of course. I saw today a story about Hadleigh in Suffolk where people are trying to do the same thing "Mr Allman said he thought Hadleigh Together was the first party of its kind in Suffolk. He said it based its model on Independents for Frome, which gained a majority on the Somerset town's council in 2011 and has held all of the council's seats since May 2015." Long may it continue local people concerned with local issues. One more point

Thought we wernt supposed to BE in the eu by now, oh soz i forgot, the BBC/LAB/LIBDEMS/CONS dont like what the majority of Brits voted for (best out of 3 anyone, or will that be 5) This operation, will make the 'Charge Of The Light Brigade' seem like a simple military exercise.

My Tory party knew that the result would be as some put it "disappointing" and it would "Be a difficult night" but the losses were greater than largely predicted with 40 councils lost and over 1,000 councillors nor re-elected. My local council held 42 out of 54 seats yet they lost to 'No overall control' Total and utter disaster.Theresa May said the message was "Just get on and deliver Brexit.".My message is that YOU have failed to deliver Brexit on account of a dastardly deal with the EU and scores of excellent councillors have lost their seats because of you.The sooner who get out of No 10 the better - these words will be echoed by thousands of Tory members and supporters around the country.

In Ireland we get to pick candidates by number preference. Really only no's 1-3 have ever counted - as far as I'm aware. If I'm bored enough I number them all (there will be around 12-20) just to annoy the counters. If I put an X or a tick in the box my vote is spoiled. I used to have 5 TDs (MPs) for my constituency. There was talk of change. Our local elections coming up but our councils have less power than British ones. Dear Valera wanted more central power and that has suited various governments since. A lot of debate about elected mayors in places. I think only Dublin votes for theirs currently (if they even do). I usually support the best opposition but ours are weak currently. Sinn Fein could do well but they would not really be suitable for me - and there is a tendency to find dirt on them around election times (not that this is that hard). Plenty of skeletons in various places other than the closet. Red and Blue Army!

What a result for the Lib Dems. They have gained 600 seats. I thought they were dead, quite unjustifiably in my view. Westminster and the media totally wrong, once again it shows they have nothing in common with the country. The polls showing remain at 56% and now the voters for remain are showing where the country is truly at. They can spin and lie all they like but the next election is not so far off. If only the 2 party system could be buried once and for all. Who do they think they are?
