Im voting for anyone that isnt Tory,or Labour,depending on whos available.
Me too Tory and Labour are both useless
That's called a wasted vote
@@englishboy993 yep
Who are these candidates?
@@englishboy993 who are these candidates?
Is the presenter okay? It felt like political analysis (astute enough, don't get me wrong) presented by a children's TV presenter who's just had a stroke.
Ditch the two globalists
Vote Reform
No.
@@hellogoodbye177ah yes globalist extremist. Formally know as Nigel Farrage and his private school elites. 😂😂
Looking forward to watching the Tories lose lots of seats and then the next election! Then we can watch them all struggle with applying for the disastrous Universal Credit that Iain Duncan Smith started!!
True but unfortunately labour is not different: they've already proven that to us over and over again: Westminster is a club, they're all playing a role.
Vote independents no to Labour or the Tories
That elects Labour, but I agree with the desire not to have any of these clowns pretend to be in charge while serving globalist masters.
wasted vote. Its either kick the tories out or don't. Kicking the tories out by voting labour.
@@Skeelful B/S
@@Skeelful These are local elections, not the GE.
@@Skeelful Vote for Labour is vote for more of the same no thanks
Spoilt for choice🙈 what a farce
Doesn't matter at all. Nothing will really change no matter whose in charge. All politicians are the same. We need someone who isnt a career-politician
Wow that's what I always think,they'll the same we need someone who is human being.
I think we need to scrap the established order and start again. Wefminster are trying to establish a globalist technocracy. We need a people led democracy that puts the UK first not globalism.
Will it be Wooden Oligarch lackey No1. or Wooden Oligarch Lackey No.2?
Labour his not for the working man 🙄
They are for the immigrant
And the Conservatives are?!
@@harryshepherd4232Conservatives weren't even mentioned in Daniel's comment.
@harryshepherd4232 No Conservatives are not for the working class either. Any suggestions!
@@Krispysquare Something doesn't have to be named to be suggested.
Having 70% of a 34% turnout isn't a solid win. 2021, middle of covid, people were bored of never-ending elections, low turnout all around for 2021's locals. It'll be interesting to see the turnout this time
If voting mattered they wouldn't let us do it ...
@NPC-666: Makes alot of sense
It doesnt count nothing does waste of time
Vote for the Citizen Independents.....make them quake!!!
Great - so in May there'll be a choice between the left cheek and the right cheek - with Sky News in the middle of it all lol.
It’s like voting between two cheeks of the same backside
Not really all the major parties are controlled
There is no opposition!
As the saying goes "if voting made a difference they'd abolish it"
Correct
defeatist attitude
@VictoriaToumit I haven't said I don't vote, I'm saying our votes don't change anything. All parties are the same these days. Since the 80s, this country has been in decline.
No REFORM candidate in my location so I am not voting.
No matter who wins in the locals the council tax will continue to increase blaming national government as usual.
They don’t mean anything at all and don’t matter though 😂
Oh yes they do, Tories are toast 😂
Pull the chain after Sunak and Starmer drops.
Rishi and the 'bank clerk' - is this all 70 million people can find? Say no more.
Tough choice between voting for the Labor Friends of Israel and the Tory Friends of Israel! I don't know which way I'm going to vote to be fair. They seem so similar...
Lib dems?
Greens are the only party calling for a ceasefire
We should all be friends of Israel. The only beacon of democracy in the middle east. Sadly, antisemitism is a powerful force and is on the rise once again.
It’s what they will do for Britain that counts most of all!
@@iwasborn8470 Hahahaha
Is there any way to vote for an non zionists party
Is it worth me voting I live in Newham I don't think so.
Can recognise this man, got schooled by George Galloway.
xactly
That’s a great presentation. Loved it
Why
Voting Reform UK if available 🇬🇧
Vote independents. The main parties are hopeless.
They don’t
Your vote means nothing.
Two puppets dancing to the same beat.
Everyone is involved.
Post your vote
'Why do May's local elections really matter' OMG i did not realise Teresa was back on the campaign trail.
Sam coates looking very fiesty 😂😂😂.
Still can't get over the previous interview with Mr Galloway 😂😂😂
Ive sent my voting papers back to my council with the words not interested emblazoned on them
I want conservative to win so they can change the housing situation regarding RTB (Right to buy) to extend it to RTA (Right to Acquire) to benefit from the 35%- 70% based on years lived at their property. The discount will most definitely enable more Trent and Dove and housing association tenants to buy their home they live in ☝🏽
If conservative decide to take this on board, all I can say is the Asian community will be fast to vote conservative:)
We all know Tory’s won’t win… but we all know nothing will change
Reform uk
😂🤡
Problems have been lost in this election….I have no photo I.d like many , iv never had a photo I.d , iv only used polling cards and letters/n.insurance num to vote, why I.as now🤔 reminds me of an I’d state in streets and on paper, I can’t afford a photo I’d so guess people like me can not vote? I’m 50years old and never needed a I’d before sooo why now?
#Support_Sangita
Congratulations 🎊 to #Sadiq_Khan
#Keir_Starmer also has no plans for this country, and labour gains are as a result of Tories' continuous failure.
REFORM UK 🇬🇧
💯 %
Should be banned
cant wait to draw a massive knob on my ballot paper 👍
😂😂😂
People who waste their vote don’t deserve to have a vote.
A drawing of Mohammed?
Tory voter here and rishi needs outing
I vote for red
I will be voting for Ben Houchen yet again due to him doing good things in teesside
There all full of BS
I'm voting Reform
Another Zionist party.
Vote for independents only!
Problem is there both useless
Can the punlic be trusted though? Thats a much bigger question ….,
Never voted for the Mayor of london before will be this time. Khan has destroyed london.
They cheeks of same back side
George G
Children's TV presenter ?...
Who do I vote for if I ain’t interested in con or lab
What’s wrong with Labour? Other than it’s not left wing enough of course, don’t buy into this nonsense that they’re the same! Only scared people say that. I’m 40 and I’ve barely seen a Labour government, we like to vote for the tories here because we have very low self esteem and blame ourselves for everything and think rich people are our betters
I say it’s time to move on from that nonsense
@@goychThey're worse. They're the Tories on steroids more of same but tougher.
Labour and conservative are a joke Infact all are, how about a party for actual brits, who work hard and wants what’s best for all
hows he barely mentioned green party?
Ditch the uniparty and vote independents or workers party gb or reform anyone but the main parties
God no
@@PassiveAgressive319 keep doing the same thing again and again is a sign of insanity
defo I will be workers party all the way
@@goonerboz6023 ‘God no’ means not Reform, Replace or Relocate or whatever they are called. Definitely Green, or Workers Party
@@PassiveAgressive319not the Green Muppets
Workers party 🇬🇧
Labour.
Say no to Labour, forget Tories, vote Reform! Please, please let’s turn this country around!
Not happening this time
Yes I am voting reform Labour and the Torys only care for themselves and the globalists
Workers party gb are much better than reform who are just old fashioned torys
@@goonerboz6023 Workers Party is just Commie/Socialist.
reform are just tories that are too tory for the tory party
He's really trying, isn't he? If I were still in UK, I'd have disengaged politically. Just vote for anyone other than the Tories and move on.
The Labour Mayoral candidate in my area wants to close Teeside Airport and wants to bring back the free car parking that my Labour controlled council took away in 2023! As angry as I am with the Tories, Labour will take the area for granted like they did last time they were in power. Ben Houchen has been doing a brilliant job since 2017 so I will be voting to re-elect him as Tees Valley Mayor.
Starmer is no better than sunak they are all corrupt take care all
Go Labour!!👍👍👍👍

@davidneverdave Tories Free School Meals for Poor Families today look at Sunak PM and Moderna any American Companies got Contracts re NHS
Labour 🎉🎉💯
Won't be voting Tories or Tory-lite (Labour).
Go Sadiq! As a Londoner we need a diverse man to reflect our values and beliefs, not a white woman.
I love visiting London...
Well it makes a change from the “I hate Sadiq” racist brigade of which there are many!
Sunak has played a blinder with his £75B promise on defence spending. A bit like Klopp & Liverpool getting fit & in form Trent & Jota & Endo & Gakpo & Mo Salah back just in time. It will help Tory a lot in polls.
He can promise all he likes because he knows he won’t be Prime minster soon. No information on how he’d actually fund this 75 billion increase because he doesn’t have to worry about it.
Jota just got injured agian
75billion that he's just pulled out of a hat
@@ab8865 Only £20bn of the £75bn is newly announced spending and remember it is over the next 6 years. So this averages around £3.3bn a year extra and they've already said they're going to reduce civil servant numbers back to pre-pandemic levels to help pay towards it. Full spending review will come in a budget later this year, before the general election.
May elections are a waste of time. Research Gesara/Nesara.
Not if it's your local council your voting for.
I'll be voting for The Worker's party. The only one with a viable manifesto.
Communism = death
