Marginal Seats

Aren't students usually registered in both their place of study and where they're from? I know I was when I was a student and could potentially vote twice.

Technically I think students can vote twice in local elections, but can definately only vote once in the nationals.

Be interested to see what the student vote breaks down to these days. I suspect these days it mirrors very much the national vote.

Not sure a degree in hotel management and media studies tends to radicalise you much.

Dear oh dear, yes it's quite obviously the northerners in Hastings keeping labour in.

Mugsborough only turned red when its ragged trousered citizens finally realised that they were allowed to vote for someone other than the candidate their employer told them to vote for. About 1997.

I remember voting in a Hove Borough Council election in the morning and a Macclesfield Borough Council election the same evening.

For different parties.

L/B. What were you doing in Macclesfield ? It,s not quite in Mayfair,s league.

Not Macclesfield. The Borough of Macclesfield.

Wilmslow, actually.





Will that do?

Is it just coincidence or are most of them registered to vote in Brighton as they spend more time in digs in Brighton than probably in their home constituency.

What other explanantion can be given for Brighton having the only Labour MP in Sussex.

I would say it is more to do with the Tories record of voting regularly against gay rights. When I was a student, I voted via postal vote to my home constituency - as did everyne else I knew that bothered to vote. Certainly, none of my group of friends registered to vote in the Uni's constituency.
