Did you vote in the Local Elections?

[trinidad]

On Thursday 5th May we once again went to the polls to vote for the administration of our local council.

Did you vote for the previous administration???

Did you change the way you voted?

Are you happy with the outcome in Southwark?

[mac4]

Yes

[Nigello]

Yes, but most won?t.

[trinidad]

yes to what?

[legalalien]

Yes I?m voting but not for the current admin. Haven?t quite decided who for yet.

[Spartacus]

In order

No

Possibly

Yes

[CPR Dave]

NO, not at all

Yes

All the Lib Dems

[trinidad]

Hello CPR, I am considering LD also, but curious to know have you always voted for them?

[DulwichFox]

Would vote Labour but that Party no longer exists..

Blair Killed The Labour Party. Corbyn put the final nail in the coffin.

[Monkey]

Yes, of course.

[CPR Dave]

I sometimes vote Lib dem but not very often, Trinidad.

I would have probably voted Labour but the CPZ debacle followed by the LTNs and their obstinate refusals to listen to actual people who live here made it impossible. I also don't believe the current lot do anything for us at all and I remember how hard James Barber worked in comparison.

Seems to be going the same way as the vote them out thread, which has been moved to the lounge. I'll repeat my earlier comments about not voting on single issues and considering the national as well as local record.

[trinidad]

I have to admit, my reasons of considering LD is also the poor consultation of the parking fisasco from labour, so i am with you on that one.

[hammerman]

I've not voted Labour in any elections for years.

[trinidad]

This might help voters to decide:

I've given up lately on buying a hard copy of the South London Press and the Southwark News as they are always very biased in their views.

[CPR Dave]

Waseley, Labour haven?t had a National record since 2009.

They have had a local record here in East Dulwich though and it is not good. Not good at all.

I can see why you would want to try to distract people from that but local Labour councillors will have to answer for it ultimately.

[bodsier]

One thing I am aware of is that This neighborhood has better support services than others, particularly around mental health. There are walk-in hubs for children and services for adults. I don't know of many other boroughs that have this, nor whether they are also Labour wards. I'm not suggesting they are perfect, but mental health is a very pressing issue for most people are affected by it in some way.

[pebs]

Not clear which party, if any, is going to abolish LTNs?

[DulvilleRes]

I certainly won't be voting Conservative

Ruby Fuller was a local 19 year old, former head girl of the Charter School, who died at home obeying the lockdown rules, while Johnston and Sunak broke them, and then lied about it.

[OutOfFocus]

Or more usefully keep LTNs

[trinidad]

LD's seem to have my vote at thew moment!!

[TWB Cat Sitter]

Conservative.

[trinidad]

Hi TWB, care to share why you will be voting conservative, and is this the usual party you vote for?

[Waseley]

It's the party of truth. Oh and Law and order. As exemplified by their leader.
