Did a democracy comrades, the polling people seemed quite chipper that a whole 20 people had voted in the first hour.

Honestly if Labour's got no chance in your seat vote lib dem if it keeps the tories out.

Shite as it is it's better than the tories winning.

Yeah just gotta think of it as a vote against the tories rather than a vote directly for JC. Really sucks though.

That's the issue. I'm 43 and felt disenfranchised all my life and spent every election voting against something. Corbyn has finally given me something to vote for.

Mr President, the physical reality of Prime Minister Corbyn is beyond your range of apprehension. If you'll just put on these PINKOVISION glasses...

Live in hope that a LibDemmer in a Tory/Lab marginal has voted the other way for the same reason :sigh:

Anyone got the tactical voting spreadsheet? I'm deep in Tory Territory and don't want to be a vote splitter on the off chance that this constituency wobbles.

You're a CheltenGoon, right? Get Alex Chalke out.

If your seat is Blue tomorrow morning and you could have changed it, all the warm and fuzzies you had voting with your heart will be for nothing.

Please be excited.



There's a huge queue at the polling station, which I've never seen in my life.

I've never voted in this constituency before though so maybe it's normal. I'm used to the FYGM and apathy of elderly Essex.

Yeah he was a nice guy the handful of times I met him too, which helped.

I was sad when I moved to Filton because Jack Lopresti is a oval office as well as a Tory, and then 2015 happened and Steve was done anyway so it didn't matter anymore.

Nothing ever matters anymore.

Truth is game rigging is more difficult than it looks pls stay ded
Done a democracy, gave the old lady across the road a lift so she could vote red too! If anyones curious it was the combo of our local tory MP voting against gay rights and May cutting police numbers that swung her, and I like to think my badgering helped too.

Now I'm staring at 90 boring PDFs that need amending before I gently caress off for the afternoon to Get Out The Vote. I'm feeling the hope and it's terrible.

Can confirm, just voted in Essex and I was the only person anywhere near the polling station below 50 (and most of them looked 70+), and there were a lot of them for this time in the morning

I like doing the thing with the booth and the pencil on the day it feels like proper voting

Also I was meant to be on a training day but I got there 15 minutes late because I got the time confused and they won't let me in. So now I can spend the morning getting the vote out for Labour in my marginal constituency!
