General election 2015

I had a bit of a panic in the voting booth. I think I might have voted for The Outlaw Josey Wales.

Oops.

presumably she didn't vote green.

If everybody cycled, there would be no roads to ride on.

You heard it here first.

In and out, 2 minute job. Hoey wins Vauxhall again by a landslide blahblahblah.

If everyone cycled, the current roads wouldn't wear out so fast...

If everyone cycled the massive advances in automotive technology would have been made for bikes and we probably wouldn't need roads.

Disappointed to find no Generals on the ballot paper.

Quoth Dr. Emmett Brown

If everyone cycled there'd be the 531 Party , the Carbon Party , the Bromley Part etc. wouldn't that be nice - imagine the slanging matches - there'd be TT's between the leaders and all sorts.

vote awesome
vote 531

the Bromley Part etc.

Did you mean the Brompton Party?

Nah, that one folded

Yes I did Oliver - I'm terribly sorry, I suppose I was over excited by the idea.

Only takes a couple of seconds to get it up and running again, though.

Did anyone else have the option of either these two parties "Marijuana is less harmful than alcohol" and "The Whig" party

Who, what, huh?

All UK radio/TV media (not just the BBC) have to restrict their output to purely factual reporting on election day until the polls close.

http://stakeholders.ofcom.org.uk/broadcasting/broadcast-codes/broadcast-code/elections/

"
6.4 Discussion and analysis of election and referendum issues must finish when the poll opens. (This refers to the opening of actual polling stations. This rule does not apply to any poll conducted entirely by post.)

6.5 Broadcasters may not publish the results of any opinion poll on polling day itself until the election or referendum poll closes. (For European Parliamentary elections, this applies until all polls throughout the European Union have closed.)
"

democratic right exercised

Neither represented in my constituency. The first is a standard single issue party and campaigns as per it's name. The second is an attempt to resurrect an old political party and interpret it's principles within the current social construct.

Good to see 'Artificial Beast' running for CISTA in Lambeth. If elections were decided on best candidate name...

Is there any way a parliamentary candidate or politcal party can be factually described as "turgid arse gravy"?

At 10pm, easily.

The Torygraph are getting desperate.

Fuck the SE is full of Tory whoppers
