COMMANDO FORCES

I shall be voting in about an hour, cameraphone at the ready, with a few badges to be placed somewhere on the ballot paper (to prove it's me).
Luckily for you lot, you'll all be asleep when the counting takes place but I'll be tortured with it while I'm at work, unless I listen to the dross, that is the music stations  >:(

Buttonman

I voted as I always do with my pencil hovering over each of the unworthy candidates. I eventually went for the SNP woman who was the only one who actually lived in the constituancy. The socialist candiate refused to divulge his address on the ballot - that'll be helpful when I try to enlist his help in my planning dispute!

People who say you should vote becuase people died in wars to allow us to do so annoy me. They forget that people died in wars so that we can choose whether we want to bloody well vote or not. And don't say 'voting is compulsory in Australia' I know and to me that devalues the whole process.

Betfair has the Tories favourites by 100 seats.

The Doctor Alt 8

Well the fine for not voting is only $20 austraian dollors... and remember if voting is compulory... you could at least spoil your ballot paper. I don't think that is a criminal offence.

I have voted 3 hours ago.

I would really like to see a couple of independant/ monster raving Loony candiates elected.
I think it would send a strong message as to how dissatisfied many see the system.

That's all I am going to say.



Goaty

Is it annoyed that The Sun and Daily Mail, Sky News want Tory to win? as many people I knew dont want to vote them, cos of 1979-96....

I would reallllllllly like to see what's their reactions if it fail!

COMMANDO FORCES

I'm with you on that Buttonman. The last thing I think about when in the middle of a firefight is 'I hope those (add expletive) back home vote because I'm doing this for them.'  :lol:

I feel like i want to laugh and get angry at once.



I wonder how long it'll take the Photobucket Sex Wombles to tidy this away?

Was this when we had the dead not being burried, strikes galore, rubbish piled up all over the place, etc....

Oops, that's right Labour were in then, the good old 'Winter of Discontent,' oh how people selectively forget somethings from the recent past. Don't just slag off other parties everyone, look a bit closer to home first  ;)


And no I ain't voting Tory, as the woman standing for them was Labour a couple of years ago.

I dont want Labour to win because of 1997 to 06/06/2010.

I don't want any of the parties to win because of 1707-2010.

Be careful Peter, now that these polite and loving Labour lot know that you won't be voting for their party, they will despise you.
As far as they are concerned anything that has gone wrong with this country in it's entire history is the Conservative parties fault, even before it was invented, especially because of Maggie Thatcher  ;)

I say this not to imply that you are voting Tory but because that's what they will think!

Wouldn't it be cool to have a first date at the polling station?
