Looks like they're pulling from one of the tactical voting sites.
I've explained this too many times, but this is what the results looked like, EU and council elections might push it maybe 10%, and apart from a couple of racists on YouGov* saying they'll vote Lib Dem, I have no loving idea why, unless everyone's copy / pasting from the same grauniad article, they are all saying to vote Lib.

* As far as I can tell it's got a sample size of forty. gently caress me.

Did my postal vote the other week, gotta do a socialism early and often. I haven't been able to face up to going out canvassing (and I'm stuck covering on-call at work), but solidary to everyone that's been doing it and putting it so much time and effort. We can do it folks, socialist jam from nationalised allotments form Christmas under Corbyn!

I voted SDLP in South Belfast - wanted to go Alliance but didn't want to risk it since Claire Hanna seems like a safe bet

pretty good turnout too!

God damnit even they are saying to vote Lib in Wantage.

What the gently caress is going on. Am I going insane?
Yeah, it's infuriating. The LDs have duped the local Greens and a bunch of tactical voting sites into endorsing them, despite Labour having near double their votes in 2017.

The exit poll the broadcasters use isn't that old people outside the booth system.

They set up a second, fake, ballot box outside and ask X people to vote in it to give the country a good idea how it's gone.

The Republic of Luna Equestria is a huge, socially progressive nation, notable for its punitive income tax rates. Its compassionate, cynical population of 714m are ruled with an iron fist by the dictatorship government, which ensures that no-one outside the party gets too rich.

Will give praxiscast a go tonight. So far have managed to avoid the pod not out of choice just busyness.

I voted. Not for Labour though. I'm in Scotland and the Incumbent SNP candidates only real competitor is a Tory so a vote for SNP here is the best option to keep the Tories out

Similar situation here, with the addition of my dad knowing the local SNP MP and vouching for him.

Right, home now, dry clothes on, gonna check out for a while and watch lovely telly and wrap christmas presents until 10 o'clock, when I will begin drinking heavily.

I've been out all day in Todmorden in Calder Valley and am very much feeling this right now. Am longing for some dry clothes... Really looking forwards to making it home. Feeling tired, but actually positive.

AGDQ 2018 Awful Block Survivor
So briefly cha tots with my brother about why he voted for Tories. He said he hates Jeremy Corbin and disagrees with the Lib Dem policies and ended up agreeing with most of the conservative policies even if he dislikes Bojo.

He also mentioned how on social media there’s so many more people attacking conservative voters for their vote with things like “if you see a homeless person and you voted Tories, it’s your fault” and that there hasn’t really been anything the other way around.

Fundamentally I don’t agree with his decision to vote the way he did and I’m nowhere near invested in politics enough to rebuttal.

The people saying those things are right. There isn't really anything else to say.
