Week 33 points... Week 33 table...

The registertovote.eu site has been closed down at the request of the Electoral Commission. The Electoral Commission said: ?We urge EU citizens that want to vote in the European parliamentary elections in the UK to only apply to register to vote through their local council or official websites. We welcome efforts by campaigners to encourage eligible electors to register to vote. However, our advice to anyone not yet registered is to only apply directly at www.gov.uk/registertovote.?

A question to Labour voting Remainers out there who still back Jeremy Corbyn despite yesterday's abysmal showing and the gaslighting defence he gave. Why?...

As an aside, has anyone received their European polling card yet?...

The link highlights that EU citizens might think that they are registered to vote for the European elections because they are registered for other UK elections, but for the European elections they also need to register using another specific form... European Parliament elections are on 23 May - as an EU citizen, you're entitled to vote here in the United Kingdom. Even if you are registered to vote in other UK elections, for these elections the UK government requires an extra step to register to vote. You have to fill in the UC-1 form and send it to your local electoral registration offices. This is normally publicised well in advance, but because of Brexit, most people haven?t been told. This tool will allow you to submit the UC-1 form online. Don?t lose your vote!

Outrageous that last week only 300 of 3.7m EU citizens living in UK were registered to vote in EU elections! Monumental cockup. We've spent the last 24 hours building this to let people send the UC-1 form online. Please RT or send to EU citizens in UK: https://registertovote.eu/

Registering to vote in the European elections is very easy if you're not registered or you're unsure if you are registered or not. Deadline to do so is 7th May... http://getvoting.org/

It's disappointing that the 3 remain parties, LibDems, Change UK, and Greens haven't agreed some form of umbrella grouping remainers can vote for, or agree a strategy to stand aside and let just one of the parties stand in each area. In lieu of such pragmatic, sensible cooperation, and also because the elections are based on the D'Hondt PR system, my vote will go to the party that is doing best in the polls for whatever area we come under. Here's an explainer how D'Hondt works...

It looked beautiful, but it?s on a 3 story > large terrace house, so scale is also relevant. Great post Sb. There's a couple of small scale terrace maisonettes on Upland Road just after the cafe heading towards LL that have been painted a dark green up to what would've been the old shopfront signage height, that are worth a look. This is a pic of them, they are definitely dark green and not bluey green as shown https://www.purplebricks.co.uk/property-for-sale/2-bedroom-maisonette-dulwich-640332 Next door they've done the whole frontage in what looks like a much lighter sage green. Therefore also important to think about what colours would go if your neighbours already have a coloured frontage...

Another poll, this one by ComRes, figures in brackets refer to last EU elections where UKIP got 27%, same as BP in the earlier poll... LAB: 33% (+8) CON: 18% (-6) BREX: 17% (+17) CHUK: 9% (+9) LDEM: 9% (+2) UKIP: 5% (-22) GRN: 5% (-2)

What are you painting exactly? front door? windows? rendered walls?...

BREX: 27% LAB: 22% CON: 15% GRN: 10% LDEM: 9% UKIP: 7% CHUK: 6% When TIG first formed they were polling at 18%, but have quickly fallen, BP is currently enjoying a similar new party bounce. Regardless, with only 5 weeks until the vote there's no time for complacency from the remain side. This is already going to be less about manifestos and instead a straight forward re-run of the referendum, the difference being that the vote is fragmented, affecting Remain more than Leave. At the moment there isn't a party that remainers can clearly identify with and get behind, like there is with the Brexit Party...it does what it says on the tin. BP obviously picking up most of it's votes from disgruntled Tory Brexit voters. If Labour backed a 2nd referendum/confirmatory vote then they would pick up a lot of the remain vote. I know that despite not wanting to vote for anything to do with Corbyn, on this issue I would vote for Labour thinking they had the best chance of beating Farage and winning seats...
