Finally we don't have a mad reality TV star in the Whitehouse tweeting rubbish at 3am which some slowpokes seem to think is acceptable Presidential behaviour
We don't have to deal with a fruitcake who tweets all the time and play golf while neglecting his duties. The worst President in American History and one of God's worst creatures on Earth. Good riddance to the Con Man and a grifter of no equal.

I don't know why people like discussing with these batshït crazy ethno-religious bigots on this thread.

Like I said, Trumpanzees are the most despicable creatures on God's green earth. There is nothing to be discussed with them, except to treat them with the same contempt reserved for cockroaches.
I don't even read their vile junks anymore. They are looking for recognition which they are not going to get from me. One thing that makes me happy is that not a single one of those coons have a vote in the Fruited Plains. They can display their lunacy and conspiracy theories on Nairaland where all kind of whackos are welcome.

Probably lived as a student or on a visit visa so we could give him some breathing space. I schooled in the UK too, but I don't admit to know anything about their electoral process except that country is one of the most liberal I have lived in. Canada which they call a socialist utopia cant even hold a candle to Britain.. I don't even know that of Nigeria too; hence, I can't talk about Nigeria's electoral process.

I was the democratic support officer for my birth local authority in one of my many incarnations years ago, so its somewhat a field of mine. I was in the mayor's office with mayoral powers and oversight and used to joke that I singlehandedly supported democracy on my shoulders so borough residents could exercise their democratic powers which included voting.

Liberal we are down here. History of not being liberal has taught us to be, and as the land of evolution be just keep becoming more liberal.

Do you see how you posted the link to the sun and not to Gov.uk? That alone shows how little you know!



If the English is your problem look up the meaning in a dictionary please! The UK is not implementing what has not yet become law. There is no bill before parliament yet so there can not yet be a law to implement!

And the following is from https://www.gov.uk/how-to-vote

ID you need to bring
If you live in England, Wales or Scotland you do not need to bring any identification to vote.

You do not have to take your poll card with you
.

You will need to show photo ID to vote in Northern Ireland (your passport, driving licence, Electoral Identity Card or certain kinds of Translink Smartpass).


But I am certain you were not talking about NI.

I provided two links. the second one was from the sun. the first was Gov.uk. But if you take your time to read you will understand what i am saying.

New Law Passed Will Make Voting in UK General Election Fairer

NEW LAW PASSED WILL MAKE VOTING IN UK GENERAL ELECTIONS FAIRER
Parliamentary Constituencies Act receives Royal Assent and becomes law
Constituencies across the UK will be updated and have a near equal number of electors
Every vote will count the same, delivering manifesto commitment for fairer elections
Every vote cast in a general election will carry equal weight, after new legislation passed today will make constituencies across the UK more equal in size.

The Government’s Parliamentary Constituencies Act has received Royal Assent, which means the geographical boundaries of the UK’s 650 constituencies will be redrawn to each contain a near equal number of eligible voters.

The updated constituencies will reflect significant changes in demographics, house building and migration – the current ones having been defined using outdated data from two decades ago.

Constitution Minister, Chloe Smith, said:
“Every voter deserves to have confidence that their vote counts the same, no matter where it is cast. This assurance is long overdue and today’s Act delivers exactly that.

“Up-to-date, more equally sized constituencies is a sensible policy that will make our elections fairer, ensuring that people from all four nations of the UK have equal representation in Parliament.”

Reviews of UK parliamentary constituencies are undertaken by four judge-led and independent bodies – the Boundary Commissions for England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland.

The Government’s new legislation will strengthen the independence of the process further, ensuring reviews take place every eight years and the subsequent proposals are implemented automatically. This will stop any potential for political interference or further delays to updating constituencies, protecting fair representation of the British people for the future.

Starting their review in January 2021, the Boundary Commissions will use the most up-to-date data on the current UK electorate available, to determine the average number of electors that will be in each constituency and their new boundaries. This will take into account five protected constituencies which must remain as they are out of geographical necessity.

The Commissions’ proposed new electoral maps will be subject to extensive scrutiny, each undergoing three separate periods of consultation, where members of local communities can submit written suggestions for consideration and attend public hearings. The Commissions must present their final reports to the Speaker of the House of Commons by 1 July 2023.

Updated and equalised constituencies is one of a number of manifesto commitments this Government is already progressing in its first year, to strengthen the integrity of our elections and public trust in democracy.

We have recently published world-leading proposals to make political campaigning online more transparent for voters; a draft Bill to repeal the Fixed-term Parliaments Act; and will introduce voter ID at polling stations to protect our elections from potential fraud.

from the sun
Voters set to have to take ID to polls for UK elections from 2023 under new laws
VOTERS are expected to have to show ID to vote by 2023 under a crackdown on voter fraud.

Anyone without a form of photo ID such as a passport or driving license will have to contact their council before polling day to confirm their ID if they want to cast their ballot.

At the moment people simply turn up, give their name and address and are allowed to vote.

Meanwhile, Brits living abroad will see their right to vote in UK elections extended beyond the current 15 year cap - allowing them to take part in votes indefinitely.

The new plans will come as part of the Electoral Integrity Bill, which will be introduced to MPs in the next few months.

No firm date has been set for when the new rules will come in yet, but it's expected to be in place for the 2023 May elections.

Ministers think the ID plans, which were a manifesto promise from the PM, will lead to more confidence in the electoral system, which already exists in Northern Ireland.

Government sources stressed that anyone without a passport of a driving licence will be able to prove their identity free of charge through their local council.

The list of accepted documents is set to include commonly-held forms of ID including library cards to ensure that no one misses out.

But the bill sparked a furious political row as Labour are dead set against idea and say it will lock people out of the democratic system.

The Government piloted mandatory voter ID at the local elections in May 2018 and 2019 - which lead to hundreds being turned away.

An Electoral Commission survey estimated two per cent of people in the pilot areas said they didn’t vote because they didn’t have the right ID.

Around three million people are estimated not to have access to official forms of photo ID, with ethnic minorities more at risk.

Labour say that in a close election that could be enough to swing the result.

Cat Smith, Labour’s Shadow Minister for Democracy, said last night: “It doesn't matter how the government dresses it up, these plans will make it harder for working class, older and Black people to vote.

“Giving people a say at the ballot box helps make our democratic country what it is, and we must not do anything to undermine that."

A Cabinet Office spokesperson said last night: “We will be introducing new measures, as part of the Government's manifesto commitment, to prevent the potential for voter fraud in our electoral system.

"This will further strengthen the integrity of UK elections and will include ID checks at the polling station and rules that prevent abuse of postal and proxy votes.

It is already the law bro. Read the GOV.uk again. maybe you should use your glasses

Mr Benalvino2, it will really be good for you to thoroughly read, understand and contextualise content of links you post.

The link you posted is on a new law regarding constituencies, borders etc. What you thought was passed into law hasn't been presented to Parliament yet. Quote directly from the link:

"We have recently published world-leading proposals to make political campaigning online more transparent for voters; a draft Bill to repeal the Fixed-term Parliaments Act; and will introduce voter ID at polling stations to protect our elections from potential fraud".

So, come back to discuss that when it becomes a law and what would constitute voter ID.

it is already the law.

It only mentioned a draft bill about voters ID. The highlight in yellow says proposed and draft, yet he has no clue.

This Georgia ID law has made leftists loose their minds.
United Airlines who require an ID to board their flights were calling the voter ID requirement for Georgia racist.
Better still they now say half of the next 5000 pilots they train will be black women or women of color.
Apparently black women with commerical licences are about 150 only (1% of total )where will they get the next 2000 or so black women to train and qualify as commercial pilots?
Oh and they want want trans people to qualify as pilots. Someone who can't make up his/her mind on whether he/she is a he/she/them/they flying a commercial flight? Forgetting that trans have an over 40% suicide rate.

Speaking of voter ID being racist. Does any one here have an exmple of a black who is not able to buy a beer, own a bank account, take a flight, claim lottery win, use seasonal tickets etc because they dont have some ID?

From my observations on this forum. One side keeps mute when their online buddy throws insult then act like someone is killing them when the other side do the same exact thing.

I believe that is a flight to avoid then. You cannot employ people base on skin color instead of performance and capability to start flying people to and fro. This is so unnecessary. Women does not like STEM it will be hard finding women who are interested and the best of the interested. Do women handle chaos better than men? Do they have more courage better than men? Can they pull the stick with a great force if the plane is diving.

Right wingers? I don't think they are fanatical. We both know those who thrive on cancel culture, faux outrage, and racial politics.

But there are several middle grounds. Both Democrats and Republicans (including Trump supporters, of course - some Independents) all stood up for Candace Owens when Democrat candidate, Liam O'Mara racially abused her by threatening her with a KKK hoodie. I love that one - everybody finding middle growns once in a while.

Biden... He's goofed on some issues. But he's done some things I like. Like going tough on Iran unlike Obama. Ironically, the Democrats criticized Trump for his tough stance on Iran too but are praising Biden for the same thing.

The issues at the border with Mexico are still of concern and there are still several controversies. The media is deliberately downplaying these issues and AOC, who was playacting at the border during Trump's era, has suddenly forgotten where the border is.

Biden has literally excused away China's treatment of the Muslim Ughurs. He's practically endorsed China's islamophobia and CNN, AOC, NYT and the likes who infamously slammed Trump with the Islamophobic tag are deliberately looking away.

Still too early for a definite Biden scorecard.

I would say under Biden the left has become unhinged. Their ultimate goal is not very hard to decipher.

Power at all costs. Their electoral reform bill is full of loopholes to let them rig.
Their spending bills have a lot of $$$ for their pet projects ie climate change, clean fuels, abortion on demand, insane lockdowns due to covid, uninhibited immigration . Today Biden has 20k unaccompanied children whereas Trump had only 2600 and all media could talk about was children in cages that Obama built.
Biden has also appointed leftists to key positions in the judicial and cabinet levels. Extreme leftists.

He's planning to increase taxes to fund his infrastructure shovel ready jobs that Obama spectulariry failed in creating. And for pet projects too.

He is just enacting Obama era policies , and I think he is a marionette with other players like Obama pulling the strings behind him.

This post reeks of disingenuity. You are making non-issues seem like major issues relatively.

I want to think that bidens relative success on the major coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent economic upturn will grant him some credence but you somehow skipped this to
deflect and talk about china and iran or fucking_ Candace owens, whoever that is.

How do those two issues affect americans right now?
Yes, the border problem has been a problem for the new administration but if recent reports are anything to go by, it is now subsiding.

I think biden has been okay so far. He campaigned on decency and compassion and that, he has shown. No name calling, no bullying,. Americans are learning how not to hate each other again. Hatred and disunity spreads when it comes from the very top. Biden has continuously called for americans to come together and help each other.
This is basic stuff for leaders but after the last years of President Trump, it now seems like a very big deal. More of this please.

See? Here's one of the reasons why I stated Nairaland, like Facebook, is an echo chamber. You asked what I think of Biden so far even though you weren't open to dialogue but have a pre-conclusion.

Iran and China aren't issues which concern Americans yet CNN and the media made a big deal out of Trump's spat with China? Iran doesn't matter to Americans yet throughout January 2020, CNN was focused on Trump instigating a world war with Iran and how it puts American assets in the Middle East at risk? Seems you folks abuse the luxury of more than 280 characters.

That a major Democrat candidate threatened the most influential black female Republican with a KKK hoodie isn't an issue because it exposes the racism the Democrats accuse others of? An issue so big, the Democrats had to issue a public statement and the candidate was forced to drop out?
You see why nairaland is an echo chamber? You don't keep abreast with issues as they develop in real time and are too busy repeating yourselves and lost in the cacophony and hate-fueled perspectives that you don't pause to see things from a wholesome view.

You want to mention the Coronavirus vaccine which Biden endorsed which has been stopped in some countries because it's causing a rare blood-clotting?

Are you arguing to learn, unlearn or relearn, or just to garner fleeting approvals from the less than 20 persons who visit this page at any given time?

Listen, I called on you because I've known you to be one of the few sane right-leaning yet objective
analyst but you are certainly disappointing now with your obvious overwhelming bias.

To your point, there are always lots of important issues happening around the world at all times. One can never keep abreast of all of them, that's why we rely on news and media institutions to filter them and give us the most important, pressing and urgent ones.
For instance, Almost everyday, there are new elections held all around the globe in various countries, we can't keep abreast of them all so we rely on the news media to give us information about the most consequential ones.

China and Iran have always been and Will always be a problem for the US, but I like to think that the covid pandemic, the economy, election reform and the immigration issue are the core issues in the mind of Americans right now not those two countries.

Now I called your post disingenuous partly because you brought up Candace when I had asked about Biden. More so, that information about her is largely inconsequential because when we talk about racism in america. We know the party which the historically racist parts of the country align with. We know the party which has only 3 black representatives out of more than 250 and the one which has 54 black representatives out of that same relative number.

Finally, I would like to know your thoughts on the election results narrative. I think this would be the ultimate yardstick to test your objectivity.

Do you think the last election was free and fair as stated by all security agencies or do you think there was a widespread and coordinated election fraud as stated by trump which culminated on the January 6th chaos?

One thing I discovered on Nairaland is that everyone is an expert on America even the ones that never seen the inside of an Aircraft before. They are more knowledgeable about America and the West than the citizens of America and the West.

Is it not true? That leftists are now unhinged, the media is the propaganda arm of the democrats now so openly, gas prices are up because Joe Biden stopped a pipeline construction and wants to wean off oil to EV ( a practical impossibility for at least a century) .

Joe Biden' s America is no different from a commie state. BLM burn stuff all over , no one is arrested.

LMFAO! OMFD cry me a river.

The guy lost me when he mentioned the famous Coon Candace Owens. Enough for me right there. Like I said, everyone is an expert when it comes to the Fruited Plains.
