Polling Card Not Yet Arrived.

Just been listening to LBC apparently lots of complaints that voters have not received their polling cards for tomorrow's election.

For those of you that care as long as you are on the electoral roll it's not a problem just turn up and give your name. In a number of areas they are trialling id checks so in that case take some id.

If you are not on the polling registry there maybe a reason for it. Did you recently move home? Did you register this year? You have to do so every year. Are you a student at university, if so where are you registered your home or university town.

If its a town hall mistake it's probably too late to correct but at least get it fixed for the next election.

Good luck with voting for whichever party.

One more point

You can play the system and win, well, do better than ‘Just about Manage’ and still have a firm ideology.

Part of me would really like to see Nigel (I’m not the political class but I am really) Farage win an election purely on Brexit, with no manifesto, no foreign policy, no substance other than ‘leave means leave’.

I can then sit back and watch as all the people that voted for him slowly get screwed over again in exactly the same way they always have. Then perhaps we won’t have this kind of borefest again for quite some time - people will realise that even when they think they’ve got a chance to matter in this world, they actually don’t. And in systems with power structures, the same outcomes always occur. Or become a socialist (how ironic).

Choose a vocation that pays well, work hard (as I’m continually told on this forum apparently everyone has the same equal opportunity these days, no matter upbringing or circumstance) and play the system. Or be bitter and spend your life ranting on a forum, earning pennies because you’re blaming your own deficiencies in life on someone else, and expecting something like Brexit to increase your financial, cultural or other type of standing now or in the future. Bit of a risky gamble.

I know id rather use money to fuel personal agency and reinvestment in community causes, or even getting into politics as part of a ‘necessary evil’ approach than either

• working hard in a profession that is morally rewarding but financially bankrupt (I have ultimate respect for these people but they clearly have zero personal logic and common sense, even more so these days)

• dossing through my school years, not testing myself and falling into a mid wage job, probably labour based, which I grow to resent, and instead of blaming myself I blame whatever is available around me - politicians, Brexit, wealthier people etc. Then I end up with arthritis, no pension because I’ve spent it all on beer to numb the pain and end my days living in a council flat with no heating because of my own ineptitude.

Even Stevey has my respect as although I disagree with a lot of his dross, and certainly the Amateurish way he goes about it, he is at least pushing himself to the limit for what he believes in / making a bit of money on the side. He is finding a way to play the system whilst retaining a firm ideology (albeit a much harder way).

Also, to be clear, the above does not relate to people that are just unlucky in life, they are just unlucky. And anyone can be unlucky, no matter how wealthy they may be.

Did you know? 98.0000001% of people are morons.

I bet they bl00dy do, and so will the ones importing cheap labour causing hardship to the people I voted for. Not me, because it won’t make much difference to me, but it will for millions of other poor b@stards. We must break this destructive ongoing cycle to the British labour force because it’s too short sighted. We will adapt and some prices might rise, some might fall, some companies will wither from the false cheap labour and some will prosper. You will cry onto your wrist bands but we might continue as a positive nation without you whinging.

Presumably, Brexit Party MEPs will not take the wages from an institution they despise.

Red and Blue Army!

The after effects? There won't be any except in the minds of the ultra Brexiteers. What will happen will happen anyway, whatever the EU election results throw up.

The right wing of the Tory party are already circling the corpse of a lame duck PM ready to install a hardliner but that won't make any difference in the end because it's Parliament who are now controlling the agenda and not the Government.

It will still be a pigs breakfast, but one with slightly different ingredients. It will still need compromise to sort out and increase the possibility of an early GE and a Labour led coalition Government.
