Vote lines close at 10pm all votes after this time will be made up and will go to the person with the most money or dirt on others, you'll never see your pm other than on TV for taking more money than they need,

Only leaflets I've seen are about the EU
All my candidates don't even live in my ward
It's only DD'S first post that tell me who's who
I've noticed some of them have moved to a different ward from previous one they stood in

Less volunteers these days, most leafleting is only done in targeted marginal seats.
There's a real danger that the left will drag Britain back to the 1970s, with secure well-paid jobs, ample housing, properly-funded NHS and social care, free tuition, student grants, final salary pensions, affordable rail fares and fabulous films and music.

Our polling station was very quiet. Interested to learn the turn out.

UKIP are picking up a few seats so far which I wasn't particularly expecting.

Looks like Labour have appeared to have held their own in the locals but suffered in Scotland. If this trend is maintained at the general election, I am I correct in thinking that Labour would have no chance of getting into power because of the Scottish results, which used to play a big part in the Labour figures? And, if this is the case would it mean that Labour will never again get into power as long as they keep losing votes to the SNP? The evil Tories must be laughing their evil socks off. They will be able to do whatever they like without any fear of losing power.

If labour altered their stance on Europe they would wipe the rest out.
Some areas of Scotland are starting to get wary of SNP, it still doesn't make sense that SNP want to be out the UK but in Europe???

Congratulations to Stuart Kelly in the Oxton ward. Nobody does more for that area, or keeps in touch, than the Lib Dems.
I'm not nationally a Lib Dem, but proud to vote and support them locally.

At least I know that since I was one of the 35% who actually bothered to vote, I can say what I like about the Council. If anyone complains about them to me - I will enjoy asking 'did you bother then?'
