Freggyragh Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Stu, does Middle far fewer voters than poorer areas, or a more apathetic electorate? Genuine question, not having a dig - as a percentage of the vote you did well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The way you have to fill in the form, tear off the ballot, stuff it in different envelopes. A lot of people got confused and shoved it all in one envelope. Result was that the RO had to go through them (after speaking to the candidates) and sort it out one by one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2112 Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Another observation- Majority of candidates have swallowed or jumped upon the climate change bandwagon. As such I hope the TT and all motorsports are banned, especially those polluting the environment. Thousands of visiting motorcycles, vans and other motor vehicles spewing emissions into the Manx atmosphere not conducive to climate change, and certainly doesn’t ring true to principles.

How many manifestos, ever, have mentioned the TT (particularly in a negative way). It would be a waste of reams and reams of glossy paper and stamps.

I read through the instructions first - it was all pretty self-evident. It honestly wasn't difficult. People who were unable to work it out correctly maybe shouldn't be permitted to vote. Yeah yeah I know. I'm just cranky waiting for Glenfaba and Peel's results. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This came up in the Rushen debate. They all spoke for TT as a testing ground for green technologies. The green candidate made the point that riding here was a less polluting holiday than flying to the sun. I wasn't entirely convinced. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
