A great ride that requires finesse and effort to get the best out of it.

What is it about mothers that makes them such heartless cunts when it comes to politics? Like I've noticed that something snaps in them and makes a ton of them go all out rightwing fascist a ton of times it's insane.

I'm sure your moms fine but come the gently caress on surely her not having to pay for your education and to make sure her grandchildren have good healthcare and meals should count for SOMETHING?!

My mum's ok, but my sister had to emotionally blackmail my dad into voting Labour by saying "think of your two-year-old grandchild's future".

Zero fucks given, that's four votes from my family for Jezza :)

Voted at about 9:30 here. Somewhat concerned as Labour only had a 650 vote lead last time, the area voted massively for UKIP then and Brexit last year, and the MP voted against Article 50. :derp:

Like 95% or so I'd guess. Isn't FPTP the best?

It's kind of hard to tell in some cases. Where I live came close to a Lib Dem win in 2010, was solidly Tory in 2015, for example. All depends on the ~Lib Dem fightback~ and/or people like me voting tactically.

Just got back from the polling station. Absolutely no one in there but I guess that's to be expected and a lot of people won't turn up until after work.

Cadiff South and Penarth has always been Labour and I'm confident it'll stay labour at least.

Have spoken to Mum, she voted Tory because she really hates farmers and wants them to stop getting free money for owning land and doing sod all with it while our business has had to pay out the ear in rates on our property that actually contributes to society (jobs etc.).

Coincidentally all of her side of the family are farmers.

11:30am voter reporting in. Glasgow Central. Polling station wasn't dead, but not busy—hope that it picks up at lunchtime. Voted for the jam man, even though it won't make a difference here because the SNP have fooled everyone into thinking they're some kind of socially progressive left party (Tartan Tories, anyone...?)

Yes bad luck her because farmers will get coins out the arse from Leadsom's Defra while the NHS gets run down despite its Ł350mil a week.

The Linke is a party I grudgingly accept exists, but I've learned enough about DDR-history I can't bring myself to trust a party that was once the SED, a party leading the corrupt state apparatus ...

PLEASE ASK ABOUT MY 80,000 WORD WALLACE AND GROMIT SLASH FICTION. PLEASE.

Polls are saying labour's elbowed its way into quite a poor second place in Scottish voting intention. I do wonder whose lunch they'll be eating, whether they're chiefly clawing back lefties from the SNP or soft unionists from the tories.

Algo from trail of bits is supposed to be very good and cheap but you have to run it on an Amazon instance (easy to do).

For the love of God don't use a free one or one off payment. They are almost always complete bullshit or actively target you.

Voted.

Had to drive past 2 polling stations to go and fetch one of the kids from Nursary, and the polling station I voted at was very busy when I went in and busy when I drove past it again 15 minutes later. Both times it was busier than the referendum, but that means nothing. The other polling station I drove past was equally busy. There could be a high turnout for this GE, what that means re vote share god knows.
