A friend of mine always votes early in the morning and says he's always the only one there. He had to queue this morning.

Please give Corbyn an outright majority so I can crow in the face of a horrible English tory civil servant acquaintance of mine who decided to come wreck my country after being a lib dem staffer in the coalition government, thanks guys.

Ikwaylx posted:I started a PhD in September, and I was terrified that, from what I heard academics tend to veer a bit centrist. I found out recently that not only is my supervisor a labour voter, but he drunkenly said at the Christmas do that the Tories are "utter wankers and if you vote for them you're a twat". Plus all my coworkers are huge labour supporters. Anecdotally I work in academia and my entire office/research group are voting Labour, even the one person who is very much a centrist and would rather vote lib dem who we managed to convince to vote labour after a decent discussion.

On the other hand I know people from when I was in Manchester who are computer scientists and ~radical centrists~ so I guess it just depends like that. A lot of computer nerds are Lib Dem as gently caress, yeah .

PS: I waited a day, but David Bellamy was an ace TV presenter - I still remember watching him explaining all about pollen, but in later years was a climate-change denying grumpy old fart. He was supposed to give a talk to my sister-in-laws class on a field trip about 2 years ago (~10-11 year olds), and spent the whole time complaining about climate scientists and how the kids are stupid and easily led these days. Never meet your heroes

I had a 30 minute queue and there were practically no olds in sight. It's Labour safe but I've still never seen anything like it.

Weighed it all up and in the end, I voted Green. That's right, I voted for Kate Green of Labour. The safe-seat, chief-melt for Owen Smith who's nonetheless backed by a party with the best manifesto in my lifetime.

I did a vote. Station seemed busier than I've seen it before, but not massively so - though unfortunately I do live in a loving tory stronghold so take it with a grain of salt.

Sure, but when presented with a genuine left wing leader at a time when our health service is under existential threat, she wanted to hand the party to a Pfizer lobbyist.

Charlz Guybon posted:This swingometer good or bad? Swingometers are never going to be too accurate because they treat every seat as having an equal national swing. If you have a campaign that is focused on turnout in contested and marginal seats, the swing is not going to distribute equally in every seat.

He sees Corbyn and the rest of the left-wing resurgence as a well-intentioned but ultimately retrograde movement and that an actual solution to the current crisis has to come from innovative liberals. He thinks capital's just going to get together and solve climate change when it gets bad enough lol

So one thing that crossed my mind was that Cumming Dom's strategy was supposedly to hold back everything until the last week of the campaign in order to carpet bomb voters with ads. I mean, I'm hardly the demographic, but I really haven't seen anything resembling pro-Tory advertising saturation?

I'm miles behind in the thread, but I just want to say: 1) get out and vote 2) if you want to help out today but you're busy, 6pm - 10pm is the most important time. Get in touch with your local CLP, they will have an office set up. It's the easiest day for door knocking because you're only contacting Labour supporters, everyone should be happy to see you. 3) Hi to anyone in Southampton Itchen, I'll see you this afternoon.

We know it did actually happen because their ad spend jumped way way up.
