I don’t think you can say someone voted wrong if they voted for what they believe in. As you say it lies with the parties to win people over (and potentially to reform voting systems so that people can vote for that they want rather than being forced to vote against what they don’t want)

Yeah that’s true. I think the way a lot of people (myself included) read your original comment was that it was blaming those 7 people for voting wrong.

I bet there was more than 7 people who’d claim to be labour supporters who just stayed home.

Joe Lycett did a thing on this. Most of the board of the regulator are ex high ups from the water companies.

Na, Instagram and YouTube have short form videos now.

You missed the “and” in the comment you were replying to. They can do fsd or they could do cheap. Not both. Though, to be honest I doubt they can do either.

Of course that’s the reason. It’s got nothing to do with him being a lazy cunt.

Very strange. It doesn’t work. I shared directly from the f-droid client droid-ify

Oh weird. That’s shared from droid-ify which is an f-droid client.

Should we ban pubs from having car parks? Since the exhaust fumes are quite toxic.

No, but we should ban the sale of new ICE cars (and in so doing begin a complete phase out) for those reasons and because they’re damaging to the wider environment.

Oh, look we are.

must be a bit difficult to teach critical thinking in religious schools.

Which is why all religious schools should be banned.

Eye watering fines for the company (say 25% of global turnover) and the ceo’s of said companies should be held personally liable and receive eye watering fines (25% of net worth). Would help plug the hole in the budget the Tories left too.

Plus, having a bag is fucking revolutionary. I used to empty a cyclone type vac pretty much every time I used it, complete with clouds of dust. Henry every few months I have to take the bag out and pop in a new one. No mess, no fuss. Plus, the bags have filters in them, so no having to clean the filters under the tap (again getting dusty) and wait a couple of days for them to dry.

They also had to russle up a lot of candidates and hope to hell that no dirt was dragged up about them because there wasn’t time to vet them.

You need to have people to nominate the candidate

10 per candidate. However, they could easily have just been given the name and told that’s who they were nominating.

to be handed in by either the election agent or the candidate themselves.

Unlike voting don’t need to present ID to be a candidate. So a couple of people could have made their way around presenting papers.

That’s a shame. I was hoping for jail time for the leadership.

What would be the legal consequences for reform and their leadership if it is found that they have done this?

The article says that’s what reform is claiming they were.

The concern is that they were not even that. If they’ve just put names down without actually finding a real people to go behind them then it’s open and shut electoral fraud.

Two easy fixes, random orders on the ballots. Or the top option is always “None of the below”.
