work all day, then straight to gig in another town for soundcheck, not home until after polls close. If I want to vote I'll have to take half a day off.
Proxy vote, in that case, or is it too late?
Ernie, can you not last 5 minutes without being nasty to anyone? 🙁
It's too upsetting.
Its your fault torquemada. Put that red hot poker down!
The front man is "call me dave". Who is the leader?
Murdoch!
I hope that anyone who doesn't vote will acknowledge that this removes absolutely any right to complain about the result....
Voting is not a right, it is a privilege which should be exercised at every opportunity

i think it will be very close im going for the lib dems as i want a hung parliament, PR and im still protesting about the war, even though the labour incumbent seems like a fairly decent chap and has replied to quite a few of my emails
Safe labour here. Oh well...
On a lighter note....we're in a very safe Tory seat, our MP clearly didn't know what to say last time round when he asked Mrs Wombat if he could count on her support and she said no...
I thought the SNP were just the ginger northern wing of the BNP??
😉
Oh...
I'll be voting. Edinburgh South West is my constituency so I am represented by Alastair Darling and his scary eyebrows. Last general election both the Tories and Labour were very keen to present the constituency as a two-horse race. Presumably the Tories were trying to persuade LibDem voters that switching to them would be the only way to get Labour out of the seat and Labour were trying to scare people considering a LibDem protest vote that doing so would let the Tories in.
In the end, as TJ's statistics showed, Labour got a reasonable majority, the Tories came second and the LibDems were a close third. I wonder how the various parties will portray the contest this time round?
it was a very close race in 2005 in my constituency, although I didn't live here then - Labour held a majority of 484; 39.9% of the vote compared with the Lib Dems at 38.3%
.
my vote could count for something... so I'll be tossing a coin on May 6th
