Show Me The Money! Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Hi everyone, just a reminder to not forget to vote in the Bristol mayor election on Thursday. We can't let Mr Speeding Ticket himself George Ferguson get in again Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Calculus Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Well, it's either him or handing the city entirely over to Labour. Glad I live outside the boundary - that's not a choice it's a dilema. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't let Mr Speeding Ticket himself George Ferguson get in again I agree though I'll go one step further. Even if you think every candidate is a cock, please vote by writing ABSTAIN across your ballot paper. Or maybe a fun doodle. Something for the ballot counters to have a giggle over at 10pm... This way, you will have still exercised your democratic right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dollymarie Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Please if you can't bring yourself to give your first vote to Marvin, give him your second vote, to ensure GF doesn't sneak in via the backdoor. Another 4 years of that man simply cannot happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

howey_ducky Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Voting for Marvin Reece condemns this city to mediocrity, ruled by the labour party. I know, I'm not a fan of George Ferguson either but he's the lesser of two evils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dollymarie Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 How any City fan can bring themselves to vote for that man, when he did all he did to stop us getting AV is beyond me. Some people have short memories. Throwing his toys out the pram and self funding the nimbys campaign to stop the stadium when he wasn't going to get the AG land says it all. Remember that people. He needs to go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My vote in North Somerset is effectively worthless, such is the huge majority that expenses fraudster, parliamentary rules-breaker, and millionaire Liam Fox enjoys.

View from the Dolman Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 GF is a repugnant bully and the undertones to his criticisms of Marvin Rees are scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't off hand think of anything good that the Labour group have done in the past 40 years, which has been charactersised by non delivery and colossal waste.

Nogbad the Bad Posted May 3, 2016 Report Share Posted May 3, 2016 Don't get embroiled in political discussions on OTIB folks..... You'll never change one person's opinion, and people bear grudges for literally years. That's been my experience anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many people can't be arsed to even check the abstain box and that gets my goat... I always think of Mrs Pankhurst when I make my mark. I doff my sun hat to you for at least voting.

Another 4 years of that man simply cannot happen ^ This. On a side note Marvin was year above me at School and from what I remember was always destined for a life of public service as he was one of the few always volunteering for what seemed to be every cause out there and has continued this for the rest of his life. I don't necessarily agree with Labours policy or their direction so my vote is for him as he's a decent bloke and I know he has the city's best interests at heart.
