When someone composes a post using the words 'probably' and 'if' then that post is unlikely to be factual. The post Halloween GE is my prediction if we have not left the EU by then. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see Richard Tice claiming that he has evidence that Tariq Mahmood acted as an agent for the Labour party in the Peterborough by-election, but staunchly refuses to present that evidence. Meanwhile Labour have presented evidence that he did not act as an agent in said by-election. Personally, I'm more concerned at the fact that approx. 30% of votes cast were postal votes! Perhaps this is normal - but I doubt it..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On a personal note, I do side with being accountable, and for reform, and transparency - regretably the EU, the UK and probably many other governments don't embrace openness. "On a personal note, I do side with being accountable, and for reform, and transparency" Everyone (apart from politicians, bureacrats and the like) agree on this point - but there is STILL no sign of this being embraced, far less happening! The 'ideal' time for the eu to prove that it was open to reform was after the brexit vote - but instead, they took the opposite stance..... "regretably the EU, the UK and probably many other governments don't embrace openness." Agree entirely. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's a fact is it? Or another Brexiteer pink unicorn? Nothing is ever a fact until in the history books, but fairly close to a fact. The EU have said that brexit can only be extended pending a GE or referendum, and the GE is odds on favourite. Many will see a Labour government as the lesser of two evils. Highly likely that PM Johnson will get toppled to trigger a GE in an attempt to extend brexit, people need to wake up to the possibility of it not going anywhere soon. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps this is normal - but I doubt it..... I have copied this table from the following blog - https://going-postal.com/2019/06/the-peterborough-by-election-statistics/ If anything, it would seem that while the number of postal votes for Peterborough is slightly above the average for the UK, the numbers submitted were slightly below average.

Edit - Surely you agree, this is more than odd? I agree that it's a number higher than the norm for other by-elections, but then who knows why? There may be very legitimate reasons. Postal votes are legal, perhaps encouraging postal voting was an effective means to get people to vote. If on the other hand there is evidence that the use of Postal Votes was fraudulent then I would definitely support a re-run of the election. Just like I believe the proven cases of electoral fraud in the referendum warrant a re-run. Surely you agree, a electoral fraud is extremely serious and warrants re-runs regardless of who the winner/loser is?! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try to think positively. Make it happen. Well that's up to the UK government, not the man in the street. Negative attitudes will never change the status quo. If brexiteers see a future ahead, hassle the government to do something about it, because they won't if not pushed. Leaving is submission, not fighting for a better future. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
