Feeling depressed

That's really shocking, Badenkate! Hard to believe there are women like that out there in this day and age...

airhead comes to mind.

Oh I don't know.....DH votes how I tell him!

#onlyjoking

Has there been a vote ??

I agree with tanith. Nothing to get depressed about, there will always be people like that. You never know, if they had all voted we could have ended up with the BNP.

I heard the same thing - words fail me. Although at the time several unprintable ones came to mind!

Actually Alima I feel they may already all have voted fairly recently.

Ouch!

Sigh.

Personally I think that is rather sad. I am not strong politically but I take an interest about what is going on and definitely make up my own mind when voting. I can't believe that there are many women these days are like that, or are there.

I have heard young women say they are not interested, have no opinion one way or the other, so they don't vote.
I guess if they meet a masterful man, tho, who appears to know what's what, they may decide to make use of their vote in the way he prefers.

People do have all sorts of strange reasons for their voting choices, often based on a complete misunderstanding of the situation. That is a bit of a depressing thought.

Deep sigh

We are watching House these days. Greg House, played by Hugh Grant (who apparently has a very good American accent for the series) would probably say: "Moron" about a person like the woman in the OP.

It's also depressing that someone would actually admit in public to voting how someone else tells her to.

The problem is Ana, that it's not seen as a negative but something to be amused by. It'seems very similar in some ways to someone happily admitting that they aren't numerate and who would yet be embarrassed to admit they can't read.

I always work as a Poll Clerk on Election Polling Day.

Voters will never ever cease to amaze.

As in.....
who should I vote for??
I haven't a clue what I'm doing !!
I'll just close my eyes and see where it lands !!

It is worrisome when a result is close, knowing that some of these voters could have made the difference.

My mum always voted the way my dad did and was quite proud of the fact that his opinion was her opinion. It always drove me mad as she NEVER disagreed with him over anything. He wasn't some kind of control freak bully either, she just liked it that way.

She once shouted across a polling station to ask my dad where she should put her cross

Is there another series of'House' - I thought it was Hugh Laurie played House.

At least this stupid woman realises she is being told how to vote by her husband. How many idiotic voters have their minds made up by The Sun, Daily Mail, Express etc without even realising it?

Hmm...of course, those who have only ever read The Guardian are immune from any such criticism, I suppose varian?

I could'nt say Ana. I 'm not someone who only reads the Guardian

Speaking of the 'Guardian', there was an article a couple of days ago, which some will probably find contentious. Warning - it's a long read:

www.theguardian.com/society/2016/sep/27/why-class-wont-go-away

I was reminded of the article, as a result of newspaper readership being mentioned as a class marker.

I'm not somebody who 'only ever' reads the Guardian either.

I don't think I ever voted the same way as my ex-husband either. I certainly haven't voted the same way as my parents, although my children have voted the same way as I have. Admittedly, they've only just become eligible to vote. My daughter voted Labour in the GE and both voted Remain in the referendum. Time will tell if they dare to rebel!!
