Still, that is pretty unbelievably late for polls.

Of course, your poll worker situation may be totally different. In America, you have to work from the start of the election to the end....Regardless. Maybe in the UK, you get shifts or something, ha ha.



Back from the dead, I'm afraid.

I will vote for Liberal Democrats in the general election, purely because they are the ones that fit my political views best.

And my old school teacher is running for the Liberal Democrats in the local election. As such I think it's likely I'll vote Liberal Democrats for the local election too (I know my reasoning is unsound).

I make a point NOT to vote..

If my hand was forced though ... labour.


Thats bad...People have died to earn others the right to vote. You should have voted Labour if that was your preference.

No, it's not bad at all, I never asked them to die for my right to vote.

just out of curiosity, why aren't you voting? do you disagree with the system? or what?

I try to shun anything to do with politics out of my life (hard as it may seem), I don't mind talking about it every now though ..

Edit - though like I said, if my hand was forced Labour, because I like conservatives the least, only because of david cameron ... I can't stand that man.

That makes no sense to me. You can never shun politics from your life, your life is by an extension completely governed by politics. Even in countries like Somalia where they don't even have a government, the populations lives are affected massively by politics.

Also, why not vote? It is only a few minutes of your life every five years and it makes a big difference.

Just as a matter of interest why did you choose the Green party and UKIP to fill the last two slots? I very much doubt they will be the 4th and 5th most popular parties...

who do you think will be 4th and 5th?

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_Kingdom_general_election,_2005

based on last time, I should have put the SNP for the 5th option I guess, oh well.

Fair enough reasoning. Can't complain at that. My initial thoughts were that the SNP and BNP woud be above the Green and UKIP parties.

It does affect my life, in ways I can't change, I think it's all a big mess and I don't let anything that comes up affect me one iowta, like say they banned all gay marrige, dropped min wage to £3 ect ect, there is nothing "I" can do, I just get on with my life without having the misery of getting angry ect over politics. I don't think one vote makes a difference at all btw (please spare me the "well if we all thought like that" line ^^)

Guys I voted for the first time in my life today!!

The woman there thought I used to go to their primary school, odd.

anyway I don't think we'r allowed to tell who we voted for?

Are all of you (except seece) watching the BBC Program at 9:55 PM?
