voting today

No Varian, I wasn’t.

My DH was telling for the LibDems alongside a Tory teller. Most folk are quite happy to give their numbers but some don't want to and we accept that. However he told ,me there was one woman who was very aggressive. She just shouted "Waspi!" at them so we're guessing she voted Labour - a wasted vote in this constituency.

The Labour Party had nothing about the Waspi women in their manifesto but during the campaign saw it as an opportunity to promise something which was never costed. It is a good cause but will all you Waspi women be convinced by it?

For the first time ever all members of my family, Tories and Socialist alike, have voted the the same , LD to stop both Johnson and Corbyn. It's amazing the extent that those two charlatans can engender unity

Ha ha WW That would be funny.

Welsh Labour busy.

Welsh Labour

☔️ A bit of rain won’t stop us now.

? Lots more doors to knock before close of polls!

Hope he loses by 1

Johnson hasn’t voted in Uxbridge??

Even he doesn’t want himself to get in

How utterly bizarre

Love that- and I did exactly as I was asked- for once

The young are the future

That is the danger we are in right now Green

I am not virtual signalling but I think it is a normal human trait to be altruistic towards those less fortunate than ourselves. I try to consider how policies may affect the less fortunate in society when I vote. We could not have survived as a species by being completely self serving.

I know that if we end up with an ultra right wing government poorer people will not be enabled to live better lives.

We done, kircubbin The DUP do not and never have represented the majority of NI voters, who want to Remain in the EU.

Thanks to the DUP propping up the Tories, we are now threatened with a hard brexit and a border in the Irish Sea. So much for Unionism!

I have voted for a candidate I dont like as the alternative was DUP!

Thanks.

Jura2 that's fine, if you check the flow-chart supplied by the Electoral Commission, the procedure is there for all to see. As I said in a later post, the procdure for voting by post has slightly changed since I did it (I have been retired now a few years) but the flow-chart is uptodate.

Exactly, indeed.

Curlywhirly- may I share your post about procedure re postal votes, please, saying 'a friend from another site' or similar (or your choice of words) re postal votes procedure. Will not of course, if you'd rather not. Thanks.

Just so Curlywhirly

I’m so glad that someone has seen a long queue, at least it’s not fake news

Jura2 and GagaJo, financially I am in a similar situation as you, and I fully agree with your sentiments. If I am taxed more, I can afford it, and am happy that some will fund the welfare state, however, from a selfish point of view, that extra tax will also help to fund the NHS, eduction, police, fire service etc - all of which will benefit me. Not all the extra tax will be spent on the welfare state! Also, the percentage of tax spent on benefit scroungers will be a drop in the ocean, compared to the billions in tax not paid by companies who use a loophole to avoid paying it.

Who cares what shoes people are wearing? Just good that people vote

Eloethan.....I’m biased too, not many people aren’t!
However some of us are trying to answer the OP without instructing them to vote for the Party we choose, but giving them a reason to go and vote.

I went out to vote at 11am. There was a long queue. I've never known such a thing here! The lady sitting taking the numbers said they'd been extremely busy.
I wonder what the outcome will be.

Diane Abbott who would be in charge of our security, you couldn't make it up could you she can't even pick out a pair of shoes that match. God help us if Labour get in.

It doesn’t matter how I vote it’s a very safe Tory seat, however I would be very surprised and pleased if it’s a hung parliament

Worryingly, Diane Abbott went out to vote this morning wearing 2 odd mis-matched shoes, and both for the left foot, without seeming to notice!!!! Photos online and in various newspapers.
