[Closed] Has everyone exercised their democratic right then?

Yep, by postal vote over a week ago. I'm not staying up for the results though.

Yes. Postal vote.

I voted on the way in to work, there weren't many in the queue at 8am which is a bit of a worry. 😆

Still, a pic of a cock n balls on my ballot paper should make an adjudicator smirk, well for about 1.2seconds that is.. 😆

Later

I'm not staying until Sunday night for the results.

Not yet.

Am I the only saddo who stops up and watches results come in tonight?

Probably, given that the count only starts on Sunday with results announced on Monday.

I'd forgotten about that, i'll go and vote later. Hopefully it's stopped raining by then.....

Not yet. Think the local results get announced tomorrow, and the Euro ones on Sunday.

Tonight

Yes.

I went BNP* as a protest vote against UKIP

[i]* not really[/i]

Later - 3pm.

Done.

No point. I was considering voting Conservative to help keep UKIP out but my town is solid Beresford Land.

UKIP FTW!

I really can't be arsed but I suppose I should.

This lunchtime.

I used to stay up and watch the results of the general election come in, but it got boring after the first couple of times.

Completely forgot about this, and surprised not to have seen the Polling Station signs outside the village hall this morning when dropping Jr at skool.

Will cycle back into the village later and stop in. Mrs Stoner can do hers after work tonight.

Who'd want to out themselves voting for UKIP?

UKIP make lots of sense though

To who?

YAY! UKIP!

Boom!

Popped down in my German mile muncher and put a cross in the Green box.

Done, apparently a good turnout in my local polling station.

Is that today? I think my postal form is at the bottom of a load of personal admin I need to clear at some point. I think there's a tax bill in there as well.

I'll go later on.

On what?

how to make biscuit coloured trousers fashionable again

And less darkies

less gay-storms

I'm putting as much effort into voting as the candidates(*) did into convincing me to vote for them.

* - I'm assuming there are candidates but not one of them has done a single piece of campaigning as far as I can tell. But then again I'm in Gove's seat so any election result is hardly in doubt.

I'll be heading down after work.

More fish in the sea.

I'll pop in on the way home, when hopefully the apocalyptic rain will have cleared.

Not yet, but according to my faceache page a lot of the idiots in my town have or are voting ukip 🙄

Just voted 🙂

Voted...although I did cause confusion by going to the wrong polling station first!

I voted for the greens and because many of my neighbours are a bunch of lentil wearing, sandal eating hippies, they may well win.

I am pissed off that [url= http://e.lvis.org.uk ]UKIP have stolen our colours[/url] though. Grrr

I was first in at the polling booth at 0700:01 this morning. My lift leaves at 0710 and I won't be home tonite.

Democratic right exercised. I voted Green, as they had the most women and the least offensive haircuts, and their flyer boldly said "we are the most likely to defeat UKIP" which is no doubt bollox but I liked that they said it out loud.

I'm going to vote Green, because it's the only party I can publicly support on STW and not receive a torrent of abuse. 😉

Nope, I sat and watched the first 20 minutes of Star Wars with my two 4 year old girls, took them to school then came to work.

More productive I think.

Does no one actually realise that the MEPs cover huge areas (e.g. South West, North West etc) and not just their constituency? I live in a staunch Labour constituency but the vast majority of the MEPs that cover this area are Conservative or UKIP.

just voted. Ballot paper looked like a long stretch of bogroll.

Half the candidates were nutjobs.
Greens byline was "no to fracking" so for that reason I'm oot.
Ive made my mark. If it's any consolation, it cancels out my dad's inevitable UKIP vote (if he can be bothered to find his way from the pub to the booth! 🙂 )

Postal vote a few days ago

Give UKIP their due, with any luck they have increased turnout of people who wouldn't normally vote.

I'm a big fan of democracy, but am starting to think that there should be some kind of minimum intelligence test for electoral registration.

I'll make up the questions.

Fortunately I'm going home this afternoon, so I'll do it late.

No, there's thunder dahn Sarf and I'm terrified. 😯

Voted about 30 minutes ago. There was steady stream but the station wasn't overwhelmed. Thought it would be a PR vote, was surprised it was single X style...

It's funny how folk are horrified that my 16 yo will have a vote in the referendum, he's thought about the issues way more than many!!

I'm nearly wetting myself here, loads of thunder, heavy rain and dreading the arrival of lightening.

Jeez! It's here. 😯

I decided not to bother. If I did I'd vote green, as I have done the last few time I've voted. But it's of so little consequence or importance that it's just not worth the effort. Come back to me when we have a real representative democracy and candidates who can think for themselves rather than toe the party line.

it'll cost me another litre of diesel to go and vote green

but my 20yo stepson is getting a lift to likely vote ukip

so it all evens out, unless i run over a badger on my way there.

Done.

Shocked at the number of right-wing/minority parties that were available. Discounting the Greens for the moment, I saw No2EU, BNP, EDF, Britain First, UKIP on the ballot slip. Quite sad really.

Where's here CG? I've been looking forward to lots of rain in Surrey to fill my water butts. Not a drop.
Did a postal vote for the Peace Party.

Awww CG ,my nan was like that,she would hide under the bed if there was a thunderstorm.
Maybe more people should just hide under the bed and not vote 😀

Twixt Winchester and Soton zippy. Brightening up now but I've been jumping like a frog with the lightening! Still bluddy raining though. 😐

[s]Bluddy adrenals are shot to pieces, sudden noise makes me jump and it's so embarrassing.[/s]

I just voted, then walking home a nail went straight through the sole of my shoe (although no blood luckily). I must have put a cross in the wrong place?

nice to hear the weather moving up from the south is improving,

been stuck in a huge thunderstorm (chilterns) for about 45mins now - thursday night ride looking like it might be damp

Slightly surprised to see two other anti-Europe parties on the ballot paper. With a bit of luck they'll split the UKIP vote.

Thunder just started here (East London)

Have I voted ? Yes. 🙂

Yeah, I will be doing later.

Postal vote even though the voting station is dead opposite in our village hall, it's closer than the post box!

Just been and truly shocked at the turnout , never seen so many people voting at our polling station in 31 years!
I am looking forward to something changing either locally or MEP,. At least having voted I can moan like mad again for the next 12 months 😆

Green, well my coat was.

thus flagging up the electoral Armageddon that awaits the treacherous Tory collaborators next year

I must say, I was impressed by the length of the betting, er, polling slip. If Farage gets us out of Europe we'll have less choice.

Oh and I think you'll find that the correct term is "fewer" darkies.

Voted green

Voted. Pretty disgusted at the Britain first tagline using Lee rigby on the ballot when his family have expressly said they didn't want his name or picture used by them. 1/4 of the options were for fascists and I managed to not vote for any of them (y)

Yes,
Local and European slips completed.

And once again took pleasure in not telling the party cronies outside where I lived so they can't tick me off their lists.
Slightly disapointing reaction this year though, " no problem" was the cheery reply, it was much more fun The year an old dear tried to tell me I had to tell them

I heard today that UKIP were unhappy because their name came further down the voting list due to the listing being in alphabetical order.

Strangely enough at the top of the paper there was a party called 'An Independence from Europe', along with the other swivel-eyed loons. They thought about it a bit more clearly.

Though another party was called "Harmony" which was more-or-less anti everything. Bit of a misnomer!

I thought UKIP was the first on the white sheet? (To be honest I didn't take much notice)

Probably, given that the count only starts on Sunday with results announced on Monday.

Is that to allow time for the postal votes for a certain party from the recently resurrected dead?

It was a less than edifying sight to see on your ballot paper tbh

I thought UKIP was the first on the white sheet? (To be honest I didn't take much notice)

Voted first thing this morning. Put a cross in all the boxes, I like an accumulator.
