General Election 2017

[Titanic]

Conservatives are reporting a higher than usual turnout... could be a ruse? or maybe Corbyn's army of youngsters is on move??

 

[whitelion]

Does sound a bit like Christmas Eve ..... midnight mass and all that

It was a good night but nothing like Midnight Mass - it was very raucous in the Dome with the crowd like a football audience - lots of singing and chanting and flags being waved.

I think TM has lost a lot of votes with her 'no magic money tree' comment. Condescending munt.

High youth turnout thus far being reported nationally, according to a Labour teller I spoke to in Hastings earlier. High youth turnout in Hastings & Rye also.

Unlikely - that was playing to a certain crowd. Your tone suggests that there is very little May could say that you'd find agreement with.

I think it's telling that there has been a high youth turn out as I'd expect most to vote after uni or college has finished

Fixed for you

 

[Lenny Rider]

Early high turnout down here always traditionally favours the Tories as they get the local party machine out picking all their core 'grey' vote up in various cars, but clearly the youngsters early turnout aspect might be the complete opposite.

 

[Diablo]

Voted for Tories as I voted for Brexit.

Same here !!

Will an angry (as in all previous eras) group of students, be enough to deliver a Corbyn/McDonnell Government from a registered electorate of 46 million?

At 10pm this evening and shortly thereafter, we will find out. Maybe yes. But if not, it will finally kick that theory into the long grass, as they have registered in unprecedented numbers.

Fair point. I'd be crap at Poker.

I'll say it to save a lefty the bother:

People are so embarrassed to be voting Conservative that they'll keep quiet, not post their voting intention 79 times a day to social media and not put up a poster in their window.

Embarrassed. And probably ashamed too. Embarrashamed if you will. They know they're doing some really bad and don't want to draw attention to themselves.

I have yet to see ONE dog with a TORY rosette on today whilst I PROUDLY walked up to VOTE with my poodle JEZZA wearing the most MASSIVE red rosette you've ever seen and I saw 100's if not 1000's of other DOGS with RED rosettes on too.

Why would people be embarrassed there is only one real choice with Corbyn leading the labour party.
I am not embarrassed to say I have voted Tory but also I do not see the point in trying to wind up my friend's and family by posting every two minutes about nasty labour etc.

 

[HantsSeagull]

I'd vote for him if he was independent.

i would think about it- especially given the quality of the Tory candidate which has been shocking

 

[Is it PotG?]

Since the man on the left will win by a country mile, I feel better that I have expressed my apathy with a vote for the man on the right.

There, I feel better already.


Good Luck Baron von Thunderclap.
