If you lot on the ahem mainland would vote the Tories out I'd be really grateful. thanks Greg
PS And if our lot over here could teach our politicians a lesson it would also be very nice.

Very gloomy politically this morning.

I've voted on my way into work.

Not that it makes much difference; my (Labour) MP had a majority of nearly 11000 last time out. Still, every little helps.

Voted.
Again doubt it will make much difference here - live in a Tory safe seat but you gotta keep on trying!

Go Vote

Go Vote Yourself

Good luck UK.

Have changed my Eurostar back from Brussels so I can get back in time.

Done my bit

I have never missed a vote ( 100% )

I missed one once in the 90s when I was out of the country (and that was for the local council, nothing national).

Other than that I have voted in every election I could.

Belgians have no choice, we still have a compulsory vote system

IZ.

My first election was the 1997 one, the famous Labour landslide, i was so excited to be able to vote for the first time, ahhh to be young again

Voted. I'm in a Labour safe seat, but still, it doesn't pay to get complacent. Kick the tories in the nuts.

I've missed a couple of local elections years ago, but not missed anything in the last 15 or so years. I even voted when we were voting for the Police Inspector or something, I still haven't a clue what that was about.

That's actually not a bad idea. In the UK in recent times the results are always really close, like 52/48. That's really poor. If you take into account that a lot of people didn't vote at all it means that 30-ish percent of the country had the casting vote, and that's pisspoor. France's result was good: 66/34. I'm not sure we've ever had such a decisive result in the UK, not in recent times anyway.

I'd agree with a mandatory vote but would like to see an abstain option on the ballot paper as well.

Something like 59% of eligible US voters actually voted in November. We all know how well that turned out.

It gave the world the best sitcom since Fawlty Towers.

So, two bowls of lenin soup, a beef gulag, a strawberry stalin, and four bowls of borscht.
