TIGHTCHOKE Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 (edited) Strange how this is being kept VERY low on the reporting scale. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-essex-60254176 Low turn out, not unusual in a mid term by election and a 12000 majority! Sir Kier Starmer and his awful team just can't seem to get it right. Edited February 4, 2022 by TIGHTCHOKE CORRECTION! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dead eye alan Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 Labour and lib dems did not field candidates as a mark of respect for MP Sir David Amess. So not a surprise really Dave. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonepark Posted February 4, 2022 Report Share Posted February 4, 2022 There is an unwritten rule amongst the major parties that if a candidate dies and that death is related to his political position, none of the major parties will stand against his replacement so that it is made clear to whoever caused the death that they made no difference.

Hello, never knew that 🤔 Hello, worst turnout to vote in many years makes you wonder if people are so fed up with politics 🤔 but the Tory candidate being a barrister it's not to supplement her income 🤔 Edited February 4, 2022 by oldypigeonpopper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
