Oh Quids... (better known as our dear election Agony Aunt)

I need your help, I appear to be wavering, like a reed blowing ing the wind...

I promised I would not vote for Labour after the Iraq fiasco, but want to use my vote to prevent the Tories winning... I am in a safe seat (Harriet Harman) and I am not keen to vote for her, however am worried that if I vote Liberal I may in some way be helping the Conservatives to get in (by undermining a safe seat).... I keep trying to make my choice and as the time gets closer I just get more uncertain and am in danger of becoming like a rabbit in the headlights....

Even thought of desperate measure such as spoiling my ballot paper

Any advice welcomed,

Thanks in advance for your help...

Yours gratefully, CharlieCharlie

Charliecharlie, I hope you don't mind my using your advisor's services too.


???? - I'm still not sure either. I truly wish to vote Green Party, but everyone I have spoken to has told me that voting as such would effectively be a wasted vote. Following advice/assistance from Keef/Loz on another thread, I thought I should vote Green at the Locals and vote either Yellow or Red at the Nationals. So, until recently I was leaning towards Yellow. Bear in mind that I do not wish to Blues to get in (the thought scares me to bits). However, my friend Bookworm believes I should vote for what I truly believe in - i.e. Green. So now I am back to the beginning. What to do ???? (or anyone else). If I voted Green, would it really be a waste? What are the chances of the Blues getting in in ED? (Sorry but I don't fully understand the voting system).


Time is running out.


So to summarise:


My allegiance is with Green

Under no circumstances do I wish for the Blues to succeed.

I don't particularly wish to vote either Yellow or Red, but I would - reluctantly - be prepared to do so in the interests of the greater good (i.e. keeping the Blues out).


I need sound arguments to help me decide.


Thanks in advance.

    • Gosh, that all sounds so familiar!  Southwark are constantly holding up their Outdoor Events Policy as proof of process, but then constantly allow exceptions when things aren't quite done correctly. Point in case, Gala's licence application - extract from the Consultation Findings Report - "The GALA team formally submitted their application to hold GALA 2025 to the council on the 7 October 2024. It is usually a requirement that applications for larger scale events are submitted with a minimum of 9 months to process them, but discretion can be applied if there are mitigating circumstances. 8.4 of the Outdoor Events Policy clarifies that processing applications received outside the stated lead-in times is at the Council's discretion. In this case: • The council were aware that Assembled Gala were preparing an application for the event to take place in 2025 in advance of their submission date, with operational discussions already taking place • GALA festival has been taking place in Peckham Rye Park since 2018 – less time is needed regarding event planning than if it were a new event • The GALA team already have a Premises Licence in place for this event (this is a pre- requisite for the Event Licence to be issued), so no time needed to be factored in for a premises licence application and decision-making process" So despite the fact that there would need to be major planning decisions due to the change of site access, they didn't think Gala needed to adhere to the same rules as everyone else? Makes me wonder what other rules they are exempted from... On a similar note, has anyone received a Resident Communication letter, containing the contact details for issues? We haven't, and we live directly opposite the site on Colyton Rd. They were supposedly distributed on 29/4...
