Gives the LibDems a 196 seat majority!

That would be a strange world to wake up to tomorrow!

It has shifted even more now!

The current result predicts the LibDems having a 276 seat majority!

So would that be strawberry or chocolate flavour?

For a minute, I misread that Mrs T as Mrs Thatcher.. Now that would be news...

Well I voted,
Didnt recon much to any of the parlimentary votes. I picked Conservative, mainly because the candidate is the only one I have seen doing anything and as much as I like the current Labour MP, I'm afraid she represents a party that i dislike immensly.
Call it a wasted Vote, however if by voting tory, I do anything to alarm Mr Blair then my job is done.
I really think there is very little between labour and the conservatives, lib dems, well I think most of their policies were utter rubbish and I personally found it incredible they had the audacity to stand up and speak about some of them!

For the record I shall be immensly surprised if Labour are voted out, and I think really only the tories have the backing to mount such a challenge.

Our local elections were better though, we could pick 3 candidates and funily enough thjere were 3 for the Thornaby independant party, so I voted for all three

This happened to me during the last election that I was registered in Northampton.

HA HA HA!

Saw nothing despite ringing them several times, the election came and went wrote to complain and basically got told we don't know who dealt with the issue and we had a number of temps in over the election period to cope with the extra work and we're doing nothing about it...

Passed it all to the local Rag (figuring they'd be interested) bugger all didn't care one bit....

Thankfully......... only a BNP member with a deathwish would stand for parliament in Brent

But then being the child of foreign nationals, it might have made for a very interesting car ride

In my constituency i would have had the choice of these parties.....

Liberal Democrats
The Labour Party Candidate
2x Independent
Green Party
The Conservative Party Candidate

or wait for it........

Vote for Yourself Rainbow Dream Ticket

Think a lift with the last candidate would have been the most interesting one..... given the policies i've seen....... scary but interesting

My brother's (definitely raving monster loony) taking me now anyway...... so toodle loo

Its fixed anyway.
I'm pretty disgusted that if people who are indeed on the electoral role, yet havent received their polling card, cannot vote, then a re-count MUST be declared.
I urge people to complain about such poor organisation, theres a nursing home my aunt works at, there are 75 elderly people living there, not one of them has received a polling card, yet they like my grandmother could vote at the regional assembly poll.

Absolutely disgusting!!!

If they have not received a polling card because they are not registered to vote then I agree with you.

If they are registered but have not received a polling card they can still vote - they just need to go to the polling station and say who they are and where they live.
