The 2015 Popularity Contest (aka UK General Election )

[The Esk]

Do you live in a contested seat? Lucky if so - voting for me is utterly pointless.

Sadly not, I live in London's safest Tory seat.

Anyway off campaigning for a few hours now!

Here we go then .......

Thanks for this thread. Can I plead that (some) posts are shorter in future and that time is precious?

Now vote for a party with an "O" in its name ... preferably two.

VOTE LOONY.

YOU know it makes sense

I agree mate. Just to add to that if a degree didn't help you earn more than £21k a year you wouldn't pay a penny of your debt.

Well, coming from someone who is at university now, the fees aren't ideal but the repayments certainly aren't going to put you in bone-crushing poverty like you're making out.

But 21k and then to pay tax and NI, jeez it's peanuts.

Sorry if I am a bit late to this one, but I want to chuck in my thoughts.

Possibly, he problem is not a fee, but rather when you start paying it back? £21,000 seems a little too close to the bottom to me, maybe £25,000? This way it really would not be felt by those who do not benefit financially from a university education.

Anyone read this? This should get out to as many tory voters as possible...

Was going to spoil but thinking of changing to Labour, lucky sods.

Is anybody on GoT standing for any election today? If so, best of luck (unless they're UKIP/Green).

Hahaha I am actually in Chelsea and Fulham, which has the largest % of Tory voters v votes cast hence my comment re safest seat. You are correct Ruislip has the largest majority but it is a bigger constituency.

Ah. Had an antique shop in Chelsea once upon a solvency.

Easiest multiple choice test ever.

Anyway, the main decision of the day....BBC or ITV or SKY for the results coverage! It's like FA Cup Final Day.

<or just go to bed instead>

Predictions folks?

Got a feeling UKIP will do better than forecasted - I think the smarter racists will have stayed in the closet until the ballot box.

LAB 35%
CON 33%
UKIP 15%
LIB 8%
GREEN LOL%


Labour minority government with SNP/Green/Plaid support is the smart bet, as is Call me Dave throwing his toys out of the pram.

I was going to get a Zorro mask, write a Z on the box and take a selfie of me doing it, but then realised I'm not that much of a grade A twunt.

I found that massively patronising and I have never had any intention of voting Tory.
