Great excuse for the poor turnout though He has a point though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shearer is just an opinion machine paid to generate opinions - like Katie Hopkins. And lets face it Maguire and Southgate are out of their depth. But it won't be Saturday they get exposed - wait until the final. This comment aged flawlessly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Him and Maguire are an accident waiting to happen. But that said Southgate is out of his depth as a manager and was tactically exposed in the final. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreyWolf Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Covid or no covid it’s going to be a poor voter turnout all round I reckon with more walk in’s to fill those seats that couldn’t find enough candidates this time. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you say, not just a poor voter showing but candidates too? I've yet to have a single candidate for either LA or GE knock on my door. Just a manifesto leaflet from a sitting MHK delivered by IoM Post. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But maguire is decent. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know. There were actually more candidates than in 2016 and only 13 vacancies rather than 25 last time. The only places that were bad were Ballaugh (3 vacancies so not no quorate with only two commissioners) and Ramsey (3 short in North Ward). The last election we had for Douglas South had a similar turnout to the GE, which is fairly rare. So we may be surprised, though I suspect it will be variable.

angelo Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 In Jurby one candidate got tomorrow’s cycle race cancelled because 8 potential voters on the widely advertised and signed road due to close briefly might have wanted to get out for that hour.

And yet it's fine to disenfranchise 1348 people with active cases of Covid plus 724 awaiting test results, plus loads of others self-isolating for other reasons. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheTeapot Posted July 21, 2021 Share Posted July 21, 2021 (edited) They race out Jurby to stay out of your way and you're still gobbing off. I'm glad I'm not you. Edited July 21, 2021 by TheTeapot 3 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn’t it funny how quickly his opinion (and effort) changes when he sees that the GMP are a bit cross. He's just saying that nothing has changed 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
