Voting

[SarzWix]

I've voted my votes, had several 'discussions' about AV, noted that Blunkett has admitted the 'No' campaign's costings were totally made up (which makes me exceedingly angry) and am now having a brew and cake

Just been and cast my votes. Timed it for just after the school run thinking it would be fairly quiet then. FAIRLY QUIET??? Six bods on the desks handing out papers, and I was the only voter there!!! Is nobody else voting?

Will go across after tea - I see it as my duty to vote, people died for my right and it would be very disrespectful not to respect that . Also as already said, this one is very important as it's not often we get a chance to change things although to be honest I'm apauled at how badly some of it has been explained and the rubbish which has been spoken against change - I mean, how can using first past the post for a running race be seen as the same as for voting, the latter involves our opinions and the first is a direct athletic event.

I have voted and my vote now goes for pork pie & sausage rolls with piccalilli on the side. Thanks very much.

Bit of Black Dag wouldn't go amiss either.

pushy a**eholes.

I've had that - cream from the chemists sorts it out...

I'll be off in a minute to vote, its gonna be independants round here, especially the one who's in charge of the lotties!!!

We've voted

We got 3 voting slips, I didn't realise there were THAT many elections for us here.

There are a bit like buses, not one for years then three come along all at once.

Two referendums for us here in Wales in just a matter of months. Great for me, as I do love to go and vote! Never missed one yet (and never will as long as I'm able to!) - still vividly remember going to the polling station for the first time as a teenager and feeling so grown up and important!

It'll be interesting to see what the outcome is.

But doesn't FPTP mean the winner has had the majority?

I would have thought that fairest?

Over here is a bit different when it comes to voting. They're still useless just a lot of parties that have split and reformed and renamed etc

[SarzWix]

Just read that the turnout for the referendum in London (where they didn't have any local elections) was about 10% That's seriously depressing. And it's not looking good for the Yes vote either apparently

*sighs* Shoot me now please.

Well us discontented will have to find alternative ways of letting them know we ain't happy, Sarz...

"They" (The Government) want YOU to buy things to revive the economy.
Only buy what you cannot do with out .
Eg Only buy stuff with no V.A.T.
Stop smoking(if you smoke)stop drinking & generally stop buying "stuff".

I voted. Always do. Even took the youngest reetlet (4) with me - get her into the habit now, although she was a bit disappointed that she wasn't actually allowed to make her mark on a voting slip

The eldest reetlet (19) didn't have time (apparently) which is fine, so long as she realises that she has now lost the right to complain about tuition fees etc, something I will remind her of, whenever necessary .

Blunkett has admitted the 'No' campaign's costings were totally made up (which makes me exceedingly angry)

See, this is what wigs me off about politics. How are people meant to make a decision about who's right to lead the country, when they all lie about what they can achieve, and how much its going to cost or save us (insert 'I give up' smiley)
