    Nope The idea was to disrupt government as little as possible with elections so they were held on a Thursday. Most results would have been known that night or during the course of the following day. This gave the new government the weekend to form, the new PM could announce key appointments and all would be in place in time for the civil service and stock markets to return to work on Monday at 9. A seamless transition. Thursday has stuck as the traditional day although many European countries vote on a Sunday, on the basis that it encourages turnout.

          Or what you could do is vote UKIP, to deprive some other candidate of your vote and thus increase the chances of a MSM candidate winning, thereby preventing the rascally UKIP candidate from winning!

            While you're waiting, read the free novel we sent you. It's a Spanish story about a guy named 'Manual.'

              I know a pensioner who get the local candidate to collect him and take him to the polling station via a detour to Sainsburys.

              I don't think he even votes for him in the end.

                The candidate has his house burgled each time, so it works out even stevens.
