Return 'B' envelope has free international airmail, so no stamp required.

Looks like I won't get disenfranchised this year 🙂
Don't forget to include that apology to the public employees

I didn't know that the proxy can vote by post. Are you sure? I discounted aproxy vote as the proxy has to vote in the constituency that you were/are registered and I don't know anyone there.

Anyway my voting papers arrived and have been returned.

I am with you 100%, two problems: Manchester, and the walking disaster that is Dianne Abbot. Jezza seemed to be building momentum a week ago, and the Cow had much to answer for on her social care policy (and more politically, her shoddy approach to defending it) but that theme has been supplanted by anti-terrorism, and doesn't the Cow know it. Nevertheless, a week in politics is a long time, as her predecessor Mrs T once said.

I'm no fan of Diane Abbott but she's coming in for a bit of stick for saying that she said something 30 odd years ago when sporting an Afro hair style and that views, like hairstyles, change over time and people move on.

Seems entirely reasonable.

MPs have 'crossed the floor' moving from one party to the opposite; there have been Conservative MPs who used to be in the Communist Party; even Theresa May was a Remainer one day and a Brexiter the next.

In my younger day I was a member of CND; Anti-Nazi League; Labour Party Young Socialists (Militant)...until I saw through them; Desperate Dan Cow Pie Eater's Club; Wizzard Fan Club; the Library; various book clubs; Bristol Rovers Supporters Club - Pirates section; Queen of the South supporters club...

I'm not a member of anything now.

No apology required.

And I would say it arrive despite the fact that only UK 1st class postage was applied.

For Brexit, they "didn't manage to get them all posted in time" 🙄

Well, apart from BE...!

I think with DA it's not one specific thing, but an accumulation of things.

I'm hoping it is a coalition government. Would be nice she doesn't get elected. Probably won't happened.

Ahh.. if only everyone thought as we do, then we wouldn't need elections... and brexit.. well we needn't have needed that.. we'd have just left and that would have been that.

But it's a sad fact of life that some people don't think the same way as the rest of us do and there are some inconsiderate individuals out there who think they have the right to be thought of as one of us. So we have to spend time and money pandering to these, er, what do they call themselves? Ah yes 'democrats'.

I think that May has been very lucky. It was said of Thatcher that she was lucky with who her enemies were and May has inherited that lucky streak. A gaggle of EU leaders and bureaucrats who fall over themselves to enrage the average UK voter every time they open their mouths, a lame Labour opposition who despite their progressive promises just can't seem to convince anyone that they're safe in charge of a winkle stall and a security scare that broadcasts a 'You're safe in our hands' message that's supported by more troops on the street than winkles on Labour's stall.

No wonder May's grin grows ever wider.

Good to know. Though my eligibility to vote runs out in four years so hopefully there'll be no more elections in that time
