#LocalElections turnouts:
2014 — 36.2%
2018 — 35%
Tories thrive on piss poor turnout. If you have a vote today and a Tory incumbent, get off your arse and vote for the best placed candidate to kick the Tory out.
@Andy_European Just got back from Voting with my son. Busy turnout,🤔
@ShortbreadFairy postal votes all the way this end. All the upsides (no dodging maskless dribblers and touching dribbled on pencils) only one downside — losing the oppo to lie through my teeth and tell the Tory rep I voted for their candidate 😇
Much rather have a cuppa while appending me X.
@Andy_European 😂 We all got a Pencil each and the mad looking woman wasnae standing outside like she normally does. I used to think that she had escaped from a Cult and hoped she would never approach me.
2019 dropped to 32.8% turnout.
If the turnout is substantially higher today it *could* indicate the natives are getting restless
(Unless of course the Tories win more councils without losing any council seats — in which case all is lost so EMIGRATE!)
