A major concern seems to be 'family voting' which was flagged up by observers last night.

It’s a minor concern

It's been a problem for many years in the Pakistani community, where for example a Pakistani would follow his wife into the polling booth, usual excuse would be she needed him to translate but regardless it's strictly against polling station rules.

Strictly? How can s disabled person vote without help?

When my wife worked at Slough Borough council she took part in 3 or 4 counts and received a fair bit of abuse for trying to enforce the rules, on one occasion she had to call the police who arrived within minutes as TVP had a large number of officers on standby near polling stations.

Sorry to hear that

It’s a minor concern

Goodwin and Farage are blaming it for Reform's defeat. All those Pakistani women prevented from voting Reform by their husbands.

Democracy Volunteers says it saw 32 cases of apparent collusion – the highest levels in its 10-year history @ the Guardian

The observing team said they saw family voting in 15 of the 22 polling stations observed, reporting 32 cases in total, nine cases in one polling station alone. They observed a sample of 545 voters casting their votes, of which they said 12% either directed or were affected by family voting.

On the radio.

Crying like the melts they are

You mean Labour right?

Re form have reached a peak in their support, it’s Labor job to win it back.

That sums it up

I cannot disagree with anything she says:

Silly straw man.

There will be tactical voting on an unprecedented level.

Plus once Reform launch their manifesto and it gets proper scrutiny, they will lose at least eight percentage points. They will be lucky to get 22%. These factors together will limit them to less than a hundred MPs

So who do you predict will win the next GE?

Experts still predict them to be the largest party.

It’s not collusion, it’s an English speaking family member- often male - helping a non speaking usually elderly female relative. Someone gets to legitimately vote as a result. Doubtless Farrage will seize the opportunity to foment hatred and call for people who can’t speak English to be banned from voting. The words grapes and sour come to mind

Reform have been flat since the start of the year, Labour have declined.

 

[warey4life]

Labour hasn't lost in this area since 1931

It’s funny to see all the Labour fanboys crowing about Reform coming 2nd.

If this repeats on a national scale, reform will win the next election.

You probably think I'm a Labour fanboy, but I am overjoyed that Greens have beaten Labour and Reform.

Reform have been flat since the start of the year, Labour have declined.

That’s my point, re form are short if the majority they need regardless of how the Greens split the Labour vote.

It’s not legal. That simple.

Only 1 person is allowed into the booth, end of, and the staff will always enforce this rule, despite the abuse they will often receive.

It’s permitted by election staff and RO guidance. Otherwise the observers wouldn’t be allowed in

Not in the booths it's not.
