TBH I wouldn't put it past any of the parties (although one in particular springs to mind) in future to 'booth block' - send people in and just take ages filling in the form. Is there any actual stipulated time limit you can spend in the voting booth? Can the polling station officer actually...

Too many mojitos on the train home last night

At what point did I say this is the option for me? I went into the booth today stuck between two options both of which I found far from ideal, but I still picked one. More than that, I had spent quite a few days wondering if I should vote for a party I didn't really want to at all just in case...

I agree with you on the principle but on the whole there can be a myriad of reasons for failure to turnout. To really make the point of dissatisfaction the only way you can truly do so is by having taken the time to go to the polling station to intentional not vote for anyone. But spoiling...

Ah....I see. You're a psychopath who goes around dismembering people. In which case: Please ignore my insolence sir.

You've got 23 fingers in the air? Either you're from Norfolk or Diane Abbott/Phillip Hammond* *delete as per political allegiance

I would say they were playing inside forward. Look at the players we've been playing in those positions in that formation - only Jobello is what you would refer to as a 'winger' and he looked underwhelming and many felt left the striker isolated by playing too wide. MR criticised Biamou for...

At least we might enjoyed getting fucked by them!

So why is it we see shares plummet on profit warnings only to them bounce back and recover by the end of trading? What changed during the day for that to happen? Did the company come out and say "sorry folks - false alarm. We're actually bang on the prediction"? It's all based on the whim of a...

That was exactly my point. They were saying reading through the posts there were a lot disagreeing there would be a Tory majority. The poll shows this isn't the case.

Whose fault would that be? Labour's for winning, or the bankers for a knee-jerk reaction based on no justificable reason, only fear?

She's handily missed out that it's often a feeling of patriotism and being better than everyone else that leads to the conflicts in the first place.....

Stop being so negative - it's a potential growth market to create jobs in. Plus with all those extra fingers producitivity will rise.

So why is it so many of these young people we want to provide for can't afford houses? Why don't we consider the environment we leave for them full of poisons and toxins which will make them sick at a younger age? Because we live in a capitalist society so the way we think we can best provide...

So you're argument is that we start off full of hope for a better future then as we get older it becomes resignation. Not exactly a glowing endorsement is it.

I think Parliament should be a mix of men and women (and non-binary or whatever I'm supposed to refer them as today)

Check the opinion poll thread. 30 odd people going Tory majority, 20 odd hung, 2 Labour. On a forum that has been accused of being massively left wing bias and Labour apologists.

Think quite a few will have postal voted in case of bad weather. Older generation have also got all day to get to the polling station - younger ones have work etc to fit voting in around. With the rain and cold etc I actually think it might play into Tory hands - youngsters who don't want to go...

I genuinely read that as 'lunatic fridge'!

The same was said of Yes Minister and Spitting Image. Said there was stuff they thought about doing but deciding against because it was too far fetched then reality has thrown up far more absurd things than they had thought up.
