General Election Thread 2015

Local exit polls show Labour 58% and Conservative 19%, so I might as well draw a huge cock on the ballot paper it won't make a difference here

According to this, there is a 100% chance of Labour victory in my seat.

Anyway, I went along to exercise my democratic right at 7am. The woman who had cut the string to tie the pencil to the desk had cut it way too short. When this was pointed out to her she blamed it on council cuts - which could have been interpreted as a political point I thought. However, what it did do was put the Labour candidate out of easy reach

100% Tory here. But we've got the Council and town Council elections too - the town council has been Lib Dem for years.

100% Tory where I live. The previous MP had been in since Thatcher's victory in 1979, but is stepping down. So in a way it'll be interesting to see if the person makes any difference at all. I think the answer is no.

Here at work near Witney you'll be surprised to know that the Tory upstart, David Cameron, is also 100% to win.

You don't want to vote for our MRLP candidate then?

It's a bit old fashioned this voting system isn't it? So later on today I have to physically go somewhere, use something called a pencil to write on a bit of paper that an actual human needs to manually count later. All seems a bit time consuming and error prone to me...

Isn't it about time this little system had an overhaul? Maybe even some of these so called younger people would vote if they didn't have to get out of bed to do it.

And so many people dont vote or tactically vote because of the first past the post. Unless you are in a marginal I imagine most seat outcomes are already established.

Too close to call in my constituency, does that mean I should not bother or spoil my ballot paper?

[CloudWalker]

Conservatives, or Wolfs lol

Marginal where I am .... could be interesting. I suspect it'll go to Labour judging by the paranoid ranting and "telling a lie often enough" by the lefties I know.
