14.5 million people (who voted for the 3 main parties... so the full figure is considerably more) DO NOT WANT a Tory government!


I am hoping for a Labour/Lib Dem coalition...

> Why does anyone want a Tory OR Labour Government? does no one believe in change?



Clearly not the sort of "change" that was being put on the table. One commentator was saying earlier that Immigration was one of the leading factors, and although lots of people liked Clegg, once they looked at the policies, they didn't like them. Guess that is a good thing in that people voted on policy rather than personality.


I am genuinely surprised how poorly the Lib Dems have done, but I think the waters were overly muddied by all this tactical voting stuff, which led to the same old "vote for one to keep the other out" type mentality. If I am honest, I was still undecided as I marked my ballot paper, and that is a first for me.


At least I new what I was doing in the locals, and I only realised yesterday that we had a mayoral vote for Lewisham too.


Congrats to Greens for first seat, and fuck off BNP, you're shite, and your leader could only come in 3rd in a seat that many thought he'd take.

Have I missed something, or has nobody yet commented that Tessa Jowell has not only retained her seat, but with a similar, maybe even increased majority. This is so out of kilter with the (clearly unrepresentative) EDF poll that put Labour in third place. I'm gobsmacked, it's as if the last four weeks never happened.

I was shocked Tessa still held to her seat. How is that possible?! And she has been in power too long that trying to communicate with her these days is impossible. Whereas James Barber was on the ball constantly and I thought the Lib Dem were going to win the seat in our borough.


I am pleased that the Green party finally got a seat. Seems pretty ironic that Green seems the common sense party to vote for, but everyone is stuck in the Tories/Labour Mode.

Well thank heavens the Blues didn't get in - a small mercy.


I don't feel so guilty over having voted Green now...indeed, well done Greens...hee hee. (Sorry Keef/Loz, I had a panic attack at the last minute :-S; but thanks ????/brum for giving me that push to vote with my heart and not get "sucked" into voting tactically).


I don't think the reds did as badly as predicted.


As for the Yellows...ha ha ha...that will teach Clegg to be so smug (bordering on cocky).


BNP? I won't even waste my breath.


I'm happy.

I was hunting them too then found this:


"Local elections

Votes cast in the local elections will be counted from 1pm on Friday 7 May 2010. Results will be published here as soon as they are available so please check back again."

Possibly although I think it?s safe to assume that most Lib Dem voters would prefer a Labour government to a Tory one and that a significant number of Labour voters would have rather voted Lib Dem if they felt it would have counted.


I don?t know if I can count myself amongst these though.


Personally I can?t think which I?m more unhappy with, the idea of a party owned by big money concerns such as the Rothschilds where most of the supporters vote for it out of a sense of tradition engrained by a detestable class system or the idea of a party owned by outdated and irrelevant labour unions (but nevertheless the lap dog of large financial concerns) where most of the supporters vote for it out of a sense of tradition engrained by a detestable class system.

    • Where did I say he did a good job? Yup and Corbyn was very close to Len McCluskey and funded by Unite wasn't he...they're all as bad as each other... Labour have to purge their party of the far-left - they're a disaster. Allan Johnson summed it up so well on election night in 2019....  
    • Thank you for the detailed advise @trinidad It is definitely damage we are concerned about. I don’t think Evri would agree to pay the bill to fix our gate or letter box if they were to be damaged as a result of their delivery drivers helper. Our doorbell can be heard from outside when rung so we don’t quite believe the aggressive simultaneous door/letter box banging is necessary. It can be quite a shock it is done very aggressively.  I’ll definitely action the steps you’ve kindly provided along with a phone call tomorrow. I do sympathise with the role drivers have and how busy they are, which is why we tried communicating directly with her but sadly we haven’t succeeded 
    • What outcome would you like? Disciplinary action? Not to have the driver back? Retraining? I know there is alot of pressure on drivers to deliver within a set day. if he slams the gate, is it evidence he is causing damage, or is the noise a irritant to yourself? You could put a sign up or buy a signing asking to close the gate gentle???? can you hear the door bell from the door? he might be ringing, not hearing and therefore knocking. In trhe notes section of the be livery page, there is a note section, although there is not 100 per cent these notes would be read as these drivers are constantly rushing.  I did a google search for you, i found this and you can try the envri website Contact Us | Evri   To complain to Evri, you can follow these steps: Contact Customer Service: Call Evri's customer service at 0330 808 5456 for assistance with your complaint.    1 Write a Letter: Address your complaint to Capitol House, 1 Capitol Close, Morley, Leeds, West Yorkshire, LS27 0WH.    1 Use the Official Website: Visit the Evri complaints page on their official website for detailed instructions on how to submit a complaint.    2 Email or Call for Specific Issues: For issues like missing or damaged parcels, you can email or call 0800 988 8888, which is free to call.    1 These methods will help you effectively communicate your concerns to Evri.   My driver is called anthony, he is brilliant to be honest. I cant fault him.
    • When I have more time and energy, I will look up the actual number of votes cast for each party in that election, rather than the number of seats won. I'm interested to see that you apparently  think that  Boris Johnson did a good job of "leading the country through Covid." Is your memory really that short? I won't stoop to calling Johnson and his cronies names in the way that you seem to think is appropriate for left wing politicians. At least the left wing politicians have some semblance of morals and a concern for people who aren't in some over privileged inner circle and/or raking in money for themselves on the back of an epidemic. I'm not going to open a can of worms on here  by commenting on the disgraceful so called "purge".
