Voter turnout among #postalvoters tends not to vary much between elections while turnout among 'on the day' voters does. This would not matter if both types of voter were evenly distributed among all five parties. I found evidence that in #putney at least they were not in 2024 - I am not aware of this appearing in any wider studies thus far. Two of the five parties were outliers - the #greens and #reformuk . #Reformuk had a higher proportion of #postalvoters and the #greens a lower one.

Teacher jokingly challenged a 10-year-old to 'find Duran Duran' while in the U.K. She did.

I love The Half Moon in #Putney. Saw these guys last night. Absolutely awesome! #SmallFakers #SmallFaces #LiveMusic #TributeAct

There is the rub. It was precisely the #postalballots which were undercounted massively in the case of #putney. Roughly half of them were not included in the result announced initially.

@david

I hope they do not have to work as long as their equivalents in the #uk do! Counting errors due to sheer exhaustion can be embarrassing at best - as was the case in #putney last July.

Valentine's pillar box topper
Appropriately enough this was photographed on Valentine's Day. It was in Hotham Road.

This is a recent tradition, based on the Yarnbombing tradition. Anonymous knitters decorate post boxes with topical themes.
