Gorton and Denton

[Munroast]

the bookies have the greens as favourites - 4/7 with Reform 10/3, Labour 5/1 and tories 600/1

I have my fingers crossed for reform but the bookies are never far wrong

The bookies seldom get these things wrong

what a deeply worrying result - could an entire country live on benefits ? inc half of Africa who will be coming to join us for the free ride - the futures green

Green party wins Gorton and Denton byelection, pushing Labour to third place in blow to Keir Starmer — The Guardian

Hannah Spencer elected as party’s first MP in northern England, as Labour sees a 25.3% drop in vote compared to 2024

Looks like this is the actual start of the revolution. Where’s Foxy ?

Remember.... as with Starmer's Labour, the Greens have been voted in by people who shouldn't have the vote.

A lot of the Reform types shouldn't be allowed to vote.

I'll get blocked from commenting for saying "Reform types". Reform types are such woke snowflakes and they are very easily offended.

How would you base their ban, would anyone who doesn’t really agree with you be denied a vote ?

Sounds like a really good plan…….

I'd ban them on the grounds that they are politically ignorant. It's obvious Farage is a conman, as are his ex-Tory chums, and simple observations of how current Reform councils have been performing should put anyone off of voting for them.

 

[motorbiking]

All polls show their popularity in decline, despite what MBK and others would try and have you believe.

My heart bleeds for them.

You mean Labour right?

 

[Odds]

After a year of the Gumbies claiming the reform revolution was at hand it's humungously hilarious to hear they failed to win a 'sure fire' by-election to a Lefty. Splineless' head must be exploding this morning.

So when they go to vote Reform, you’d stop them ? Would you let them have a re think and vote for Labour ?

This plan of yours. I’m sure it’s been tried before.

So you want a more selective reform “club”

Hmmmmm

 

[Odds]

They're gonna claim the election was rigged and demand a recount by lunchtime.

The real win is Labour being third. See the bigger picture.

Labour are done.

... working in a polling station a... get involved in counts ....

A likely story.

The two scenarios are different.
One is in the actual polling area, the other is in a secure, usually separate room/building, where polling slips are accumulated from multiple polling stations.
In the polling station, you deal directly with the public.
In the counting house,the public are severely restricted, and only official observers, (candidates reps), are allowed anywhere near the tables, usually behind a barrier.

When you apply, you usually have a choice of working in the polling station, dealing with the public, or in the counting house, dealing only with officials, because the two venues are different, and in some areas many miles apart. It would be difficult for Polling Station officers to also be counting clerks, due to the probable length of the combined duty, and the distance between the two venues. The Returning Officer can request a police escort from the polling station to the counting house, so votes will invariably travel quicker than staff commuting between the two venues. Counting staff are expected to be in position, briefed and equipped before the arrival of the first ballot boxes.
Counters are not allowed to interact with the public, who will be kept at a distance., nor the observers.
