thetrees Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 interesting that the late surges in a few constituencies seems to be Student voters Now either they just woke up at their usual time of 9pm . .or there was a lot of drumming up of students by activists to get them out to vote .. and presumably knowing the student vote put in an anti Tory vote ?? Yep, probably on their way to Wal-Mart for their late night shopping. Can't understand why polling stations aren't open for 24 hours no doubt.

Awol Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Where does that leave Gordon? Out on his arse. Another government led by a PM the country haven't voted for - and before the inevitable "you voted for a party" shit, the leader of the party is a major consideration for most people when casting their vote.

Guest Ricardomeister Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 So it looks like Mandy is up for a Lib/Lab pact. Where does that leave Gordon? A Lib Dem-Lab coalition would definitely be my preferred option especially if Gordon Brown resigns and we have Johnson/Miliband replace him. I think the 2 parties could then work together for the good of the country. The thought of a government with the likes of Osborne, Grayling, Gove, Lansley, Fox and May (Cameron is probably the best of a bad bunch) is the truly frightening one for me.

omariqy Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Ester Rantzen saying as she campaigned in the ethnic areas of Luton the Muslim women were angry with her as voting is against their aqidah (that is placing a right of Allah in the hands of humans , I believe ??) don't know if Ester was making a political statement there or not ? but is there anything Muslim women can actually do ? My missus is a Muslim woman and she voted. So did her sister. And her mum. And all her friends. You can find nutters in every section of society but please dont tar everybody with the same brush because you read something Ester Rantzen said. My mum and sister both voted as did every other muslim woman I know. About 12 btw. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paddy Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Running out of ballot papers? Is this Alabama? nope It's just that the country has become so piss poor under 13 years of Labour mismanagement I know some people like to blame labour for everything (and I'm no fan) but I'm certain they're not allowed to run the election. There'd be a huge conflict of interest there. For a change, it's really not their fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowychap Posted May 6, 2010 Share Posted May 6, 2010 Well Im not sure I actually said "at the moment". I believe I said it was the future, no mention of timescale. Well, it might be an idea to look at how those ways of voting are going 'at the moment'. If one is asking people to rely on a comment of how something would happen 'in the future' then I think it ought to be treated with more skepticism than a Mandelson small ad.
