General Discussion

The article also does not mention things that are local concerns for the local elections, like planning for new houses, potholes, or special needs education. It doesn't mention national concerns that are talked about, such as NHS waiting lists, the elderly winter fuel allowance, or disability payments. It vaguely and briefly notes economic concerns, but no specifics like the employers' National Insurance hike. It doesn't mention the environment, although there are current court cases about pollution of rivers, and climate change is a perennial subject.

But I can guarantee that AI was on the minds of under 0.1% of voters. Since your link is to a story saying Labour was going to drop the unpopular thing (and that 3% figure is in replies to a public consultation, ie only those who care about the subject to compose a submission), then I can't even see why you'd think this was a factor worth writing about.
