[Closed] Shall we have a Singletrack Exit Poll?

not voted once in my 18 years of eligability.

I can never get past the retarded behaivour of politians to be interested in what they stand for.

Well, I make that lib dem 36, labour 8, Conservative 5 and other 7 (so far). Sorry, make that 9 for labour including my vote.

Lib Dems for me and the wife

Labour.

Labour

Echoing what JoJo said there was a queue at the polling station this morning, never seen it before.
Me ... BNP

😆
Labour, tho did vote for LimpDem local councillor

Not eligible 😳

Another lib dem here. Both local and general.

Our local is Labour at present and he is VERY likely to be re-elected as he usually has a massive majority mainly due to his religious persuasion.

I dislike the fact people vote due to his religious beliefs, however I cannot argue with the fact that he is probably more integrated and representative of the local community due to this than the rest of the candidates even if he is a tosser who was another caught up in the elections scandal. He also ignored my disparaging email about his lack of conviction on certain issues.

Lib Dem I have always voted for in the general. I think they are going to do better than the polls suggest and will look forward to the evening progressing.

Also first time I have had to queue to vote so am expecting a bumper turnout

Labour

Won't say what I voted for but great to see such a large turnout - first time I've had to queue as well.

Lib Dem x2 +1 Tory in our house

Two stw poles today and both have LD ahead by a significant margin. Assuming an mtb forum is non regional, is it our social demographic that sets us apart from the the populous at large? Are we loaded with middle class do gooders (stereotypical LD voter I guess)? Or are we in for a shock over the weatabix in the morning?

tory boy here...

limp dem policies are terrible, i'd rather vote for the green party

tory boy [s]here[/s] [b]meant to say[/b]...

limp dem policies are [b]no more[/b] terrible [b]than anyone elses[/b], i[s]'d[/s] [s]rather[/s] [b]should have[/b] vote[b]d[/b] for the green party 😉

3 x Lib Dem here.

@convert, every online community I've seen (that isn't politically based) seems to have the LDs ahead by a huge margin. Clearly, we are not representative of the country as a whole - but I don't know why the difference is so marked.

Lib Dem

Conservative x10...

just to annoy the liberal front that is STW

Lib Dem, same as I've always voted so far. Curse my yellow streak!

Labour.

I think it is the demographics of it all. Bunch of liberal greenies but not enough to vote green. Similar values, ethics etc etc means similar voting patterns.

[s]I still think we will get a shock with both the turnout and the vote however due to the voting system of regional seats it won't be as shocking as it could or should be.[/s]

edit, just seen the first exit pole. Guess there is a reason why I am not a betting man.

Voted for the loony left so +1 lib dem 😉

BBC Exit poll projects 307 seats for the Tories - 24 short of a majority.

Hmm, hope Labour & the Lib Dems do better than that poll projects...

I'm a doo gooder loony anarchist

I went Green.

..........which is not something I thought I would ever do

Funny how things turn out 😕

Is this going to be our main STW election thread?

Chap talking about the fact that lib-dems might do well out of postal votes this time.

I suspect the exit polls are going to change several times over the evening, there's a long way to go yet.

3x Labour in this house.

All the people I hear say they aren't voting as the politicians are all as bad as each other, I find it hard to believe that they really have no preference to which government get in. It's not like it isn't going to affect everyone's life in some way!

If the polls are broadly correct, who will the Lib Dems get into bed with?

Even though Nick Clegg leans to the right his party are a progressive left-leaning Party....

me labour, the wife conservative - I blame the Daily Mail, she thinks they are going to "fix Broken Britain".

Tactical vote for Lib Dems here in Malvern

lol @ tommo

labour here

Tommo - you have my pity! 😆

Voted for a lying hypocrite then.

Isn't amazing aracer, the lengths people will go to keep the Tories out ?

Still, a lying hypocrite has always got to be preferable to a Tory.

Almost went for Clegg until I found out his wife has not become a British citizen. So Tory for me!

Still, a lying hypocrite has always got to be preferable to a Tory.

Pathetic.

Come [b][u]ON[/u][/b] hung parliament !!!!!

I voted at about half seven tonight, the old dears manning the desk said we were already over 70% turnout 😯

Please god, not the ****in tories 😐

Almost went for Clegg until I found out his wife has not become a British citizen

Eh? Why on earth should she?

Well as a Manxie "your" politics are boring - we've got Kevin Woodford (the reluctant cook...) standing in a local election. Pity as i stayed up until 3am in1997 to watch Labour. i'd vote for him but a) he's funded by a blind trust, b) it's in the next area, d'oh, and c) he doesn't know who's funding the blind trust...

Shady figure in black "excuse me.."
KW ; "who are you?"
SFIB; "fancy being funded by an anonymous person to become a politician?"
KW: "how generous of you, why i think i will"

hmmmm

The project is over...

WTF has his wife's nationality got to do with anything? Mine's from bloody Zanzibar!

Labour, I'm afraid. Simply because they are the best of a bad bunch in my borough. I was of course voting for an MP to represent me in Parliament, not a party, and TBH, Labour haven't done too badly round here considering. Not brilliantly, but the local Labour Party are a lot better than the rest.

Very worryingly, it's emerging that people are being turned away from polling stations due to long queues. This means they are being denied their democratic right to vote. This is fundamentally wrong. 🙁

Still, a lying hypocrite has always got to be preferable to a Tory.

Erm, don't you mean; a lying hypocrite has always got to be preferable to a Tory lying hypocrite?

Tactical labour here. Nice man with a blue rosette says "Can I ask who you voted for?" "Didn't vote [i]for[/i] anyone, I voted against your boy". Was tempted to vote Communist for the lolz.

"Still, a lying hypocrite has always got to be preferable to a Tory."
Pathetic.

don't you mean; a lying hypocrite has always got to be preferable to a Tory lying hypocrite?

It's not a pathetic tactic at all Flashheart.

In fact, it's very simular to the tactic the French used when millions knowingly voted for someone who they truly believed to be crook (in the shape of Jacques Chirac) just to defeat Jean-Marie Le Pen of the National Front........Jacques Chirac received a staggering 82% of that vote.

I believe they called the tactic : [i]"voting whilst holding your nose"[/i].
