The 2015 Popularity Contest (aka UK General Election )

[Boss_Blue]

That was probably the longest 'serious' conversation I've had in here.

*heads to the fit bird thread to be cleansed

Just voted, only a 5 minute line.

 

[MikeH72]

I wasn't going to vote, but then I bottled it and voted labour, even though I hate Miliband the frog-eyed quilt

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Blimey. Two pretty good reasons not to vote for any party you think that about!

I was very close to not voting in the G/E and just sticking with the local elections instead. But I despise the Tory press, believe in the minimum wage, want some one to taking the issue of housing seriously, respect Ed's commitment to fairness and I don't want a referendum on Europe because it would be a disaster for the UK. I would also like the rich to pay more tax please!

 

[Whistlin' Dixie]

You OK mate?

Oh, I'm quite ok......'mate'. I've said me piece without fear of being labelled as a 'random anarchist lover' or what-have-ya.

I'd be more concerned if I was appearing prima facie to be an establishment weasel stooge; one who thinks (deservedly) barracking MP's about practices that have made people's lives miserable/unbearable is 'dabbing about chaotically'.


But then again, I don't do the 'prima facie' bit as good as you do.

That is a fine reason to support a party or not. Fair play.

Whatever happens, I hope to god whoever ends up in office has the balls to finally abolish the House of Lords.

Interestingly, until the last few days Milliband was as short as 4/7 to be the next PM, earlier today it was 5/6 for Cameron to be so and the support for Milliband had drifted to odds against.

In the last hour though, Ed is back to 4/5 to be the next PM, is there something happening nationally in the exit polls?

I'm left wondering when 10pm arrives and the exit poll is given what worth it'll have? I know the exit poll is a couple of hundred thousand strong in terms of those canvassed, but the apparent closeness means the margin of error still has to be enough to place a question mark over the party declared having most/enough seats for power.

Betting odds are nonsense, laying off risk - unless the bookies are getting fed info by insiders to both party HQs: doubtful.

I'd take them as a bit of fun, tbh.

Ed Balls?

 

[Sapie88]

Voted Labour for both.

 

[Mrk]

Ed Balls?

He definitely has balls, he's married to Yvette Cooper - have you seen her? Woof!

 

[SpurtingLesbian]

After reviewing all the Manifestos posted through our door over the last few weeks, I'm voting for the Rawalpindi Tandoori Restaurant
