as people have died to give me and all of the rest of you a chance to vote then yes i will.

Also i am of the school that if you dont vote , then shut the fook up and stop moaning because you have done nothing to try and change anything. I hat them bastids, whinging and whining about this and take and then do feck all about it.

I predict labour to win by around 40-60 seats, lib dems second and tories third.

poll stations 7am -10pm

Everyone that is eligible should vote.
Your vote does count.
If you cannot make up your mind regarding national issues and the main parties and leaders, think about your local MP. What have they done to improve your community.
Don't moan, get involved.
Shona McIsaac is our MP. She really is active and has made a difference for the better. I am sure there are many more examples of a good MP.

Get out there and vote

My 4 month old daughter got a voting card!

Can't wait to see what happens when I take her down there. Will they have to let her have a vote cos all her details appear correctly on the card............?

Where do they find these incompetent numpties to employ?

Well I will be one of the "numpty's" manning a polling station as presiding officer at a nice rural 250ish voters station. Probably get around 140 visitors some may turn up by tractor or horse!! One voter has a Bird but doubt he will turn up on it.

Dont bring your babies as they cant vote. Could have a poll card because someone cant fill in the registration form properly!:bang:

We get paid (not a huge amount for the day @11 hrs) so be kind and dont blame the staff for problems they aren't to blame for.

Have a nice vote!:k

Right with you on this one Wolfie.

I'll be casting my vote. As you say, people have died for our freedoms, so let's all go out and do our bit for democracy.

I also say let's have Proportional Representation, then a few more of the smaller parties might get some seats in the House. As it stands at the moment people don't bother voting for the "others" in their constituencies as they know most of the results are a foregone conclusion.

I will be Voting to stop my job going to the Private Sector,

Interesting point Mother in laws house flooded again yesterday (only just finished clearing up from last Augusts floods), all the residents on that road were standing outside their houses as the police would not let them back in till the sewage had cleared, who comes along the road trying to win votes but the local Lib/Dem candidate, generally getting in the way asking stupid questions and just pissing everybody off. how to lose a whole road of votes in one easy go.

Yup, anyone not voting has no right to moan.. I have voted every time I have been able to.. And always for the same bunch ( which aint T B Liars lot ! )

Must admit I am sore tempted to vote UKIP but sad to say I see little point as until the voting system is changed the party that gets the most votes nationally is not the one that gets into power....

Mind you, being realistic it matters not who you vote for cos they are all a bunch of lying half wits !

Come on Wolfie, get yer name down on that electioneering bus !

nah john , i cant lie well enough. also i dont want the power. i just want to live well and have those around me treated like decent people and live in a dreamland where nobody worries about being ill, everybody can read, nobody has to que up for food handouts, but also nobody gets away with ripping off the system and us.

long live the dream. :bang: :bang:

Already been and done the deed.


After spending 5 agonising weeks, mulling over all of the parties manifestoes, their various records, what they will do for the country and for me, etc I decided to vote for







Sian Dawson - cos shes prettier than Don Foster!
Shallow or what? :}

hit the nail on the head its a two horse race where I live neither of which would be my usual choice. means you have to take the tactical vote to stop the wrong uns getting a toe hold
