This talk of an SNP clean sweep is clearly a load of old bollocks - they have got no votes at all in the two constituencies that have declared!

mmmm tellers.

That needs a bit of reform doesn't it ? Not allowed to overtly promote but at the same time not allowed to make people think they are officials.

The Tories in Balham had two outside last time, both with their rosettes in their pockets. I saw them hanging out :)

This year one - but most people think they are something official and gladly hand over their cards.

I undertstand it's importance but would be more comfortable if it was "independent" or quite clearly not if you get my drift.

My uncle used to make me laugh. He would gladly let the Lib Dems think he would vote for them and drive him to the polling station. He only ever voted Labour in his life.

I have to say it never feels comfortable, though there are signs with clear rules everywhere. Most people were very willing (you are only able to ask for the polling card number), and only a few didn't want to say. Labour and Conservative tellers were getting on very well together too. We've been very lucky with the candidates in Battersea. Jane Ellison was a very popular MP, with supporters and opponents alike liking her, and I think the Labour candidate, Will Martindale, will go a long way in politics.

Into the Unions who got the wrong brother elected?

A good point worthy of remembering. The unions are so out of touch and inward looking. Had David Miliband prevailed - which was the choice of the PLP and members in country, Labour would be looking at a working majority without any doubt whatsoever.
