Looking ahead - Friday morning probably ....

Last year a high turnout resulted in Brexit!

It's going to be a long day waiting for the Exit poll at 22.00.

Is it too early for lunch, or a gin tonic?

For "Christmas" substitute "Election"

And I do not MawBroom, I assure you my emotions are not heightened today, I am not a Corbyn devotee

I'd never have guessed

Riverwalk
Your ok for the G&T. It's over the yard somewhere in the world.

Maw

It's a teensy bit early though petra - I'll be all over the yard and sleep through the excitement!

Whatever the outcome on Friday I will continue to promote and act on my political values and make comment on what I believe is the better option. As with the Brexit debate..because one 'side' won the vote does not immediately change my mind. I still have the democratic right to voice my views as vocally as ever!

pens as far as I am concerned, and what I fear will happen I think it is more important than ever absolutely essential to continue with voicing your democratic right!!

Just watching Bernie Saunders - he may just as well be talking about the UK, we are simply a few years behind them.

I hope, in one way, that the Tories do win this election. Though I dread what will happen to my GCs' schools, the NHS (as I'm of an age to starting calling on it more) and Social Care (goodbye house) ......at least I'll be able to say ' I told you so !'".

That's always very satisfying, isn't it?

Final election poll gives Jeremy Corbyn the lead over Theresa May for the first time

Not likely but the outcome just could be different to what we expect.

Hung Parliament? As predicted by Yours Truly
Is there a prize on GN for whoever predicts correctly?

We could have a Booby Prize or forfeit for those who got it completely wrong instead.....that would be more fun

Anya - funny but I'm completely the opposite! I hope in a way that Labour wins, so I can say I told you so when Mr Corbyn gives away too much, businesses move abroad to avoid his high taxation and he borrows the earth to pay for all his promises. (Although we could always sell Trident.)

But my money's on a hung parliament.

I was thinking along exactly the same lines myself, NfkDumpling

(re your first post!)

May a majority of 80

May, majority 30 ()

I really hope that there will be a hung parliament and that the Greens win in Bristol so there will be another honest, sane and articulate MP to join Caroline Lucas. I have been won over by Jeremy Corbyn's integrity but with the state the Labour Party is in, I'd doubt the ability of the party to rule successfully if they won.

I don't consider I live in a democracy when a party voted in with 36% of the vote (i.e. in 2015) rules the country so harshly and drastically degrades the living standards of so many.

We desperately need proportional representation, especially with the coming rejigging of constituencies which will favour the Tories over others.

I'm with you re Friday morning Rigby!

You can my rock buns that'll sort em ?

mawbroom do you think that the fox thinks -oh let's be as cruel as I can possibly be and hurt as many bantams as I can?
unfortunately, although a fox may not think that (who could possibly know?) they will bite the heads off many chickens for no apparent reason and just take one for food.

I won a booby prize once at the first Beetle Drive I went to - it was a box of children's hankies and as I was a child at the time it was much appreciated.

GN has not been forthcoming with offers of prizes though, no nice holiday overseas to get away from it all.

Well goodness me. I didn't see that coming ( unlike Jalima) I have had about an hour's sleep.

Awake!!! 3 hours sleep.

Whod have thunk!!
