On a slightly different note.. isn't it funny how simple this system is. No ID, no proof - nothing, just turn up and say "23 Smith Drive".. amazing.scottishtv wrote:When you get there, you just show your card to one of the clerks - if you don't have it then you will be looked up on the register and crossed off.
In my post I wasn't including unknown unemployed but even then it would be no way near 7. possibly 2 but not 7, (7 mill is near enough the whole population of London)Gavin Scott wrote:I have corrected above post, but Ross I'm sorry you are still talking shite.cat wrote:WOAH!

He's quoting himself and disagreeing with himself...
He said unemployment was 7 million, then he said no it isn't...
Either i'm very confused, and will return with humility to Desperate Housewives, or something fishy is going on.
Seven million my arse.
cheers, apparently my mother filled one in for me but I'll still ring later to make sure.scottishtv wrote:Going on your Council being the Scottish Borders (as you said when you posted in the Council logos thread), then you might want to take a look at this page.
As it says, the deadline for registration in order to vote in elections held on 5 May 2005 was 11 March. You can phone them though and they will be able to tell you straight away over the phone if you are on the electoral register (as long as you know your full address and full name - not too tough really.) I made sure I did this after Edinburgh City Council removed me from the register when I actually asked to be put on the register before the congestion charging thing. It's definately worth checking.
Also, the electoral returning officer will send you an official polling card about a week before the election. This will contain your name, address, electoral registration number, date of voting and the address of your polling station.
When you go to vote, you don't have to take the card with you on election day but it speeds up the process. When you get there, you just show your card to one of the clerks - if you don't have it then you will be looked up on the register and crossed off.
Well maybe, but your ideas on unemployment levels are a load of rubbish.Ross Revenge wrote:Health Secretary John Reid committed Labour,s first election gaffe when he admitted the Government,s record on education, health and public transport has been a failure. In an interview in a French newspaper, Mr Reid was asked what Labour,s greatest failure had been since winning power in 1997. He replied:"My principal regret is that we did not start the reform of public services earlier". In health care, he said, this had left "a shortage of services which we want to correct". He added:"We have to act now to maintain the NHS".

Talking of inability to use a system. I'm now paranoid I forogot to send away my voter registration form thingy I picked up at school. If I haven't sent it away does that mean I can't vote? Do I get something in the post to say "you can vote" and if so, when does it come?
