General Election June 2017

And there's the problem for Labour. There are fucking loads of old people and they all go out to vote.

^ Thick old people.

Who've all benefited enormously from the post WW2 era of peace and stability in Europe, combined with the uplift EU membership gave to our economy.

Now they are fucking it all up for their grandchildren, mainly because they don't like foreigners.

Students queue up to vote ...

and now this thick old person is going out to vote ...

oops !- nearly forgot my glasses

Interesting (and totally, 100% bang on the narrative we'd come up with) that YouGov, today, move the "don't knows (AKA shy Tories)" into the Tory vote column, allowing them to use their poll to scare wavering Bluekip voters to the polling booth without being deliberately mendacious.

No one over the age of 50 should be allowed to vote.

oh bollocks ! - I've had to come back - still in my slippers ...

I have read The Sun and Daily Mail today and am now in absolutely no doubt.

My brother went to vote in his local polling station, Cinderford in the Forest of Dean, at just after midday today. He was the 27th voter of the day there.

Gulp.

Quick google shows it to be a Conservative seat with over 10,000 votes (!!). I'm not sure it's one to worry about.

Not voted yet but to vote tactically would be to Vote for the SNP (Aberdeenshire and Kincardine), loads of folk have a hard-on for the Tories, but I also don't want Independence! Also, the Ashcroft poll puts conservative's ahead as well, shit the bed. Was hoping to vote Labour, having second thoughts now!

Vote for SNP is not a vote for independence. There will always be a referendum for that.

yup, thinking that, also, the more the Tories strip back the state, the more likely an Indy vote will come to pass!

Dude, a vote for the SNP is about who you sent to Westminster to shout on your behalf. Scottish Indy will be a different vote entirely. Future you can worry about that one.

If you had to choose between the two, which would you go for; independence or four more years of Conservative rule?

Voted now, see what happens, I take your point

If that was the vote I would be gutted, thankfully it's not! Would certainly be torn, I've voted for what I think would be the best outcome, the ladies in the polling station said it had been quiet tho, not sure if that bodes well?!

If anyone lives in Westminster, for the live of god vote labour. Very contentious seat. Karen Buck is the local MP. Keep the cunts out

Stunned to see how hard labour have been pushing in Brighton Kemptown, my constituency. Odd to see it having at least some effect - 149 houses in my road - counted 93 of them with Labour flags/banners in windows and many more in the surrounding area. This surprises me because I remember in 2015 seeing largely blue banners everywhere (even though it was a marginal victory for Simon Kirby, the former pub landlord cum Tory MP for east Brighton (?!). Even at EU referendum the majority of posters were pro Brexit. I've had 6 knocks on the door from Labour in the past fortnight. Fuck all from the Tories.

I assume you mean in Cities of London and Westminster? As far as I know Westminster North is a safe Labour seat (I voted for Karen Buck anyway).

The tiredest election related Dad joke?

(Stolen from twitter...)

3000 people competing for 660 seats? Sounds like my commute on South West Trains.

So glib.

Sorry if this has been mentioned already. Ashcroft's polls suggesting a 96 Tory majority if everyone votes who said they would. Only 52 if same numbers as the EU referendum.
