General Election 2017

[glasfryn]

The game was up when you and your sort were loving Corbyn, hating Corbyn, hating Kyle and then loving Kyle. Nobody knows who the good and bad guys are any more. Are you able to give those in doubt the definitive rundown yet?

the good guys are Labour the bad guys are tories got it

Not much of choice is it? I can't recall a time with such a dearth of political talent and lack of inspirational vision in any party.

I have always voted, happily and decisively, but for the first time ever I am a total loss as to what to do.

Only 4 candidates standing in my constituency: Conservative, Labour, Lib Dem and UKIP.

Labour I discount immediately. I wouldn't be adverse to voting Labour under different circumstances, but I can't endorse Corbyn and McDonnell. Similarly, no way will I vote Lib Dem or UKIP. So that leaves the Conservatives.

Again, I wouldn't be adverse to voting Conservative - it is probably the natural home for my vote. But they have run an appalling campaign in a totally unnecessary election called purely for Mrs May's benefit and not the country's. Put simply, I don't believe they deserve my vote this time so why should I give it to them.

I can't NOT vote, so hence my being at a total loss. I still believe a 'spoilt' ballot 'is the best way I can register my complete exasperation with this whole sorry state of affairs. And for me, that is a crying shame.

Maybe I'll have a moment of clarity on my way to the polling station tomorrow morning and find myself able to make a positive choice, but time is running out...

This 100% sums up where I am at the moment. Did a couple of online surveys to see what it suggested I should vote. Both came out as UKIP which is a bit scary but I am saved by the fact there is no candidate standing in my constituency. I may spoil my paper in the hope that if enough people do it then it may get noticed for what it is

Yes I will be up all night.

I hoping for a Michael Portillo moment in Hastings with Amber Rudd.

Snacks and drinks within easy reach and playing FM at the same time to ward off sleep.

Good training for the next Ashes series

I am only in a 'slight' quandary due to my utter disrespect for Theresa May, she is a fraud and a blowhard, the only thing she has in common with Thatcher is a bra, MT would have chewed her up and spat her out. However that probably isn't enough to change my vote.

 

[sully]

I'm planning to settle in for the night with The Grub. She will probably outlast me and I need to be on a train at 7am, so may not last the distance by design.
Plenty of snacks in the cupboard, but I'm not sure we have enough alcohol.

 

[Petunia]

This will be the first time in more than 25 years when I won't be doing an all-nighter at the count after having been on a polling station all day.

I'm not too sure how I will cope but I'm sure it will be weird.

 

[studio150]

Fully decided on whom I'm going to vote for, the only decision left is do I walk round early and vote or leave it until the evening

 

[atomised]

Beer and snacks on standby, primed for election night duty. The only dilemma is which channel

 

[symyjym]

Has to be said I have never heard so many lies from so man politicians - you don't know what to believe any more?

Where have you been for the last 16 years?

 

[junior]

I'm 37 and voting for the first time ever tomorrow. My family have always been Conservative voters, so that's who i always assumed I'd vote for. However i genuinely believe that Theresa Mays cuts to public services have cost lives this year and for that reason alone I've decided it's time for a change. I've finally made my mind up this evening, I'm voting Labour tomorrow.

don't think that Lucus is that nailed on

She's 12-1 on with some bookies, if you think someone's going to beat her, fill your boots

just a feeling ...........................I actually like her she is more socialist than socialist

 

[Papa Lazarou]

I'll be there Bozza, as usual

I bloody LOVE election night.

I'll be there for at least the first half... working from home on Friday, so won't be drinking whilst watching... other than tea.

 

[Machiavelli]

Better to stay living in the 70'sBC, eh Das?

Corrected for you

How could it be ANYTHING but BBC1? Truly?

Not only is it simply the best coverage, but you get Jeremy Vine with his big floor map and 'virtual' House of Commons plus Emily Maitlis frantically swiping her interactive smartboard which is oddly erotic for some reason.

I genuinely didn't know it was covered on any other channel. If I couldn't get BBC1 I'd listen on Radio 4.

 

[Machiavelli]

He voted for same-sex marriage (a free vote), but has voted with the government on every issue. Or rather, he proudly states he has never voted against the government.

He's voted for...
• reduction in disability benefits
• the so-called 'Bedroom Tax'
• reducing lcoal government funding
• reducing police funding
• leaving the EU, despite being a 'Remainer'
• raising the levels of VAT
• increased tuition fees
• ending financial support for 16-19 year-olds in training and further education
• gagging charities from campaigning during elections
• fracking

and against...
•*certain laws to promote equality and human rights
• using public money to help the young get into employment
• a banker's bonus tax
• measures to help reduce tax avoidance
• measures to prevent climate change
• slowing the rise in rail fares
• restricting fees paid by tenants to letting agents

He's a neoliberal then.

Many many people feel the same way
