+1 for Jam Socialism in Hampstead and Kilburn. It's a (very) marginal seat. Fingers crossed!

Adorned with paper projects and group photos, hastily converted into a centre of local importance; nothing defines the United Kingdoms democratic institutions like the primary school sports hall.

Trin Tragula posted:This is going to be very odd, I've never been to vote a general election before without thinking a regretful "gently caress you, Labour Party, this vote is for Jeremy Corbyn to continue being a pain in your arse" as I let the ballot paper go. This one's for everyone who wants to vote for him and can't, I guess. why were you thinking that in 2015? and why are you not thinking that now?

Certainly my Dad isn't the only 60-70 year-old I've heard mention it, but if you didn't live through it I doubt the average person even knows about it. Tell your dad to stop voting based on what was happening forty years ago and maybe look at what's happening to the country right now

Couple of tidbits from my friends in the civil service. - Tories reckon they can turn Slough, campaigned hard there. - Someone I know running a polling station feels that too many husbands are 'helping' their wives with their votes, either telling them who to vote for or outright going into the polling booth with them. Makes me pretty angry to think about.

Tulip Siddiq is not a Corbynista but she is most assuredly Not A Tory and therefore has my enthusiastic support. (Also she's a good local MP)

Endorph posted:not sure about the uk but in the us 2016 election the bookies were the only ones steadily increasing trump's odds as time went on. during the referendum the odds were going up and down as every local authority announced and remain or leave moved into the lead, even long after all the statisticians were giving leave a 99% chance of victory.

Surely they don't tell us much (or anything) It's a weird one, I haven't got a clue. My assumption is they monitor the betting trends combined with having several runners who loiter outside polling stations asking the plebs.

Ocrassus posted:- Someone I know running a polling station feels that too many husbands are 'helping' their wives with their votes, either telling them who to vote for or outright going into the polling booth with them. My boss is an intelligent woman who happens to have zero interest in politics. She is open about the fact that she votes based on who her husband recommends. Though I did relish the moment she said "He keeps making me vote for this Goldsmith guy who doesn't seem to win." (I tried to convince her to go Lib Dem but I think her husband has more clout than me, her underling.)

It's a bit of a different kettle of fish if it is happening IN the polling station though.

What happened to the sanctity of the secret ballot? My grandparents were married for 25 years before they found out that they'd been cancelling out each others' votes. Can't wait for UKIP to blame this on Muslims somehow.

My eldest sister's husband tried that with her. It is a bit despicable, fortunately my sister is not the type to put up with any of that nonsense.
