Lib Dem - I know it's wrong, I know it's silly, but it was a vote against Tony Blair - and I don't live in Sedgefield.

Millay · 05-05-2005, 18:26

lol @ homealone.. scrapping the council tax gets my vote hand down,. .the lib dems have some very brave policies that have to be applauded.

I would love to see lib dems be the oposition party... but alas.. it won't happen...

I voted Conservative nationally and Lib dem locally. I have never agreed with what Tony Blair has done to this country. Hopefully we might not look so smug tonight.!

We might not look smug?

Just taken the baby out to vote, but they wouldn't let him, so he gave them an empty raisin packet instead while I put my cross in the box. Notch up another one for Charles Kennedy and the boys - they won't get in (solidly Labour round here, with a five-figure majority) but the bigger the LD vote nationally the better. This election is only really about how big a majority Blair gets, and thus how appalling his gang can be for the next four years.

Pretty annoyed, due to several house moves over the last year my name was only added to the roll on Tuesday. Just been up to vote but apparently my name has to have been registered from the 19th of April. There probably is a good reason behind it, at least I hope there is, otherwise there will be hell to pay. At least I tried

Go Liberals!!!

Marge · 05-05-2005, 20:09

I'm still obviously jetlagged as I've totally cocked up my vote and want to go back and redo it

Wonder if they'll let me do it

Anyway this is a Labour stronghold so my vote wouldn't make much difference anyway but it's the principal that matters

(confesses to voting Labour and didn't want to, I'm a Tory at heart)

updated to include this data:

looks like some of the undecided made a decision, probably in favour of lib dem or 'other'

Raistlin · 05-05-2005, 20:43

I wonder how representative this is of the nation as a whole?

I know that th limited numbers here couldn't really be called an accurate cross-section but if these figures are to be believed then Tony is gonna have a run for his money.....

Not very looking at the poll.

The LD's will not be running the country tomorrow (thank god

)

cookie_365 · 05-05-2005, 21:07

Voted Labour - I think a lot of people round here will vote LibDem as a protest vote, so I wanted to make sure the sitting Labour MP stayed in.

Can't think of anything more pointless than a LibDem vote - except maybe a LibDem MP

Millay · 05-05-2005, 21:13

lol cookie, nothing wrong with Lib Dem.. but then i suppose people can be easilly disolushioned with the spin that surrounds labour

I hope we see some intersting moves towards lib dems tonight.. certinaly gonna make intersting viewing whatever happens..

Anyone else see this?

One of them is my constituency - luckily I wasn't affected, but it's a bit worrying. They did take a while to find me on the list this evening!

Edit: After checking on www.chiswickw4.com, it seems it was Irish citizens who were wrongly put in the category for EU countries (who don't have a vote here) - Ireland is different, their citizens are allowed to vote in general elections. There are loads of Irish around here (3000 apparently), a friend of mine from Sligo lives just over the border in the next constituency, so would presumably have escaped. I don't expect the Labour majority will fall that much, but it's still a cock up.
