In England we have got Elections today for the local council, sadly the ones in Cambridge seem to degenerate into a shouting match between Labour and the Liberal Democrats. This year the issue is over bin collections, the Liberal Democrats say “Don’t vote for Labour they will get rid of the recycling collections” (without saying anything about their future policies), and Labour say “Vote for us, we will have a better bin policy” (without saying what that policy is). The Conservatives or Green Party never tell anyone what their policies are ….
Still, I made my decision, and tried to vote, only to find my name not on the list, after a quick phone call it was found that they had the wrong list of voters (my registration is moving to my new area on June 1st), so they had to add me back onto the list (in pencil!). I would have thought that they could get something as important as elections right!
A vote for Labour is a wasted vote. “Remember 9 days of scandal and 9 years of mainly failure”
> the Liberal Democrats say “Don’t vote for Labour they will
Brilliant! Let’s go back to weekly collections for black bins at least, this ‘green’ policy just leads to increased fly tiping. I do sometimes (in fact, oft) wonder why exactly I pay my council tax?> get rid of the recycling collections”
