Having worked at a count, things far ruder than none of the above appear on ballot papers.
No. I heard on TV they expected the manifestos to be a couple of weeks.
Don't encourage themThey've already managed to deduce that having the election on July 4th is somehow an act of disrespect towards Scotland. (link).
I did wonder if Stephen Flynn was feart that SNP voters might not vote.It's a perfectly valid complaint. As the article you've quoted states, it's a time when Scottish school kids are on holiday and many parents will have made plans to go away for a week or two. If Sunak had chosen, for example, the 22nd or 29th of August as the date for the election, you'd have similarly valid complaints from English parents and I would sympathise.
The workload of staff at local Electoral Registration Offices is going to increase as those voters who were planning to go away on holiday will now have to apply for either a postal or a proxy vote (myself included). This will also be the first election in Scotland in which voter ID is required, so there will be an additional burden on those who have to issue Voter Authority Certificates. There's also the fact that some people who work in EROs would expect to be taking holidays at that time, as well as those who will be working on election day itself.
But hey, don't let the facts get in the way of a good old anti-SNP rant, eh?
All party leaders should be feart that their voters might not vote. Okay, it might not make that much difference to the Tories, given their relatively limited support in Scotland at the Westminster level (purely down to First Past the Post - oh, the irony). A drop in turnout in Scotland isn't just going to affect the SNP; Labour is hoping to pick up votes on the back of the SNP's recent troubles, after all.
That they are. $10.60(£5.50) is the max you pay for a daily ticket in the entire state.
It will be after the recent boundary changes. Hitherto it was 59.
Whilst I won't disagree with the prediction, as someone whose grandfather was involved in Normandy landings 80 years ago and told me how people died for democracy. I always vote on principle. His father (my great grandfather died fighting in WW1), and when read ages on headstones in those big war cemeteries it makes you think, and taking a can't be bothered to vote attitude is disrespectful
covered in t'news as well https://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/20...000-rwanda-flights-bet-with-piers-morgan-off/ - Morgan has claimed victory and wants him to bung a grand to the Red Cross.
Really the whole bet was a tragically bad idea, only Sunak could possibly make it worse than it was. He really should have just paid up as quietly as possible and hoped that it got a brief mention on page seven. By trying to get out of paying he pretty much guarantees that it will make at least the page three.
Clever tactics though, there's already a story in today's Daily Mail about Starmer running scared from Rishi by refusing to take part in weekly debates. Presumably they've missing PMQs that's been ongoing for a number of years past...
Starmer himself said about as much on LBC this morning (and said he'd be happy to do as many debates as the Tories desire). I'm not sure why they're so desperate to debate a man whose pre-politics career was quite literally being paid to persuade people to vote a certain way
Whatever it was, it was overkill. The 6pm BBC "News" on Wednesday was a "specially extended" edition, double its usual duration. Why it needed to be extended is anybody's guess. The only genuine news it reported consisted of two lines:
