6 County Assembly Elections - 5th May 2022

political party members should not be outside polling stations asking people questions trying to intimidate people

What questions were they asking?

[Mourne Red]

political party members should not be outside polling stations asking people questions trying to intimidate people

Had Alliance, Aontu, SF and SDLP all hand me fliers going in last election didn't feel intimated to vote for any of them.. I don't get this suggestion, not as if they are holding a gun to your head.

If you feel that's intimidating and will sway your vote maybe voting isn't for you

Tell them to eff off! I know they sit inside and listen to the names called so they can score them off. Then at teatime they go back to base, enter them into the computer and draw up a list of ones who:

1) showed intention to vote for you during canvassing and
2) have not voted yet and "may need a lift nudge nudge" to the polling station for the evening time.

Thought this was supposed to have cut out as they are technically storing data on you without your consent. I know it was a big story in the south.

are a lot of these indepedent republicans irsp proxies

No but there's 1 in Strabane that you could categorise like that.

Who?  There are a lot of Independents in the Strabane area, and I can seem to work out if they are Independent Nationalists or just Independents?

They're all nationalists/republicans of some hue.
Paul Gallagher would be of the IRSP Gallaghers.
Raymond Barr is a brother of the deceased Ivan Barr who was an SF cllr.
Patsy Kelly is a former SDLP cllr who fell out with the McCrossan cabal.

Thanks, What about Andy Patton, Sion Mills

No lol. Parties wouldn't have money for that sort of thing.

Yeah, i think there's people sitting at tables inside who tick off your name. From political parties.  They can see then the turnout and who has voted etc.

I don't think it's illegal as it's actually inside the room where you vote.

def not illegal surely or they'd be stopped. Don't have any issue with them trying to get turnout as high as possible. Everyone should be voting

[RedHand88]

Asking people out on the street for their address is definitely not right.

Only one party has the man power and the funds to make this happen. It's a peak behind the curtain for when the eventually come to power in the South. You've been warned! East Germany wouldn't have a look in!!!

Can't say too much. They are probably monitoring the board.
