Did your vote count?

[Spacecadet]

didn't vote for the winner but my vote was counted three times

[MrMark]

Nope - it was expected that the Lib Dems would unseat Labour where I lived, but despite getting my vote this didn't happen. For some reason the Lib Dem vote faded away...

[SueEllen]

Yes for GE as it was a close fought marginal.

In general MPs are only useful if:
1. They are backbenchers who are happy to fight against the government or not be whipped by their own party
2. Turn up to vote
3. Understand the implications of the bills they are voting for.
Only a few fall into this criteria & neither of the 2 main candidates standing seemed to fall into this camp.

Local election didn't make a difference unfortunately. Ward has exactly the same party split as last time i.e. Tory/Lib dem. Wanted the Tories to have a majority to sort out the mess in the council.

Interestingly the Green Party Candidate got more votes that the Labour Candidates.

I expect another GE soon as hung parliaments are too difficult for governments to cope with in this country esp when the economy needs sorting out.

Interesting that the Tories are apparently offering the Lib Dems a Treasury position, wouldn't need to do this if they put the right person in as Chancellor in the first place.

Nope for some reason my constituency which contains one of the new towns designated as 'English as a second language' stayed new lie. My Borough went Tory. Voted Blue twice.

[worzelGummidge]

My seat was Labour and is now Tory.
I voted Tory.

[VectraMan]

Yes, but it was a safe seat anyway. And I didn't vote until 8pm, so he'd probably already won. They should really count the votes through the day, then as soon as somebody gets 50% they can announce the result and stop counting the rest. It'd save a lot of hassle, and in the case of a big majority we'd know the result before the polls closed.

[realityhack]

Locally, all three.
Nationally, no - but Vince Cable was never going to lose his safe seat. His share of the vote was 54% IIRC.

[The Wikir Man]

I voted for the winner, and it helped take the seat away from Labour.

[wobbegong]

Sure did!! My Tory vote in the Newton Abbot constituency helped oust the expenses-fiddling trough-snuffling LibDem incumbent, and usher in his blue expenses-fiddling trough-snuffling replacement!

They're all as bad as each other.

[shaunbhoy]

Well, did you vote for the winner in your constituency?

[Mich the Tester]

Vote for Hain?

I'd sooner stick pins in my eyes.

Isn’t he the chunt who said you should vote for someone else anyway?

[gingerjedi]

Yes, I greeted the wife with 'V' sign this morning.

[cailin maith]

Well, did you vote for the winner in your constituency?

Nope I kinda feel like I wasted it now
