2014 Elections: Urban Exit Poll

[chilango]

Ok the polls are open. Who did you vote for?

 

[redsquirrel]

How many people will dare to say they voted LD, anybody?

 

[J Ed]

TUSC aren't standing where I am registered, and I'm not voting for Labour or the Greens so I am not going to vote.

 

[girasol]

I have not given much thought to this and it's today! Will probably vote my usuals...

 

[5t3IIa]

Best thing about voting is going into the school. Teeny tiny chairs!

[Teaboy]

Strictly speaking, can an exit poll have a didn't vote option?

"Me? No I just came here to view the infant's artwork on the wall, can't get enough of the stuff"

 

[girasol]

Euro: Green
Local: Labour

(the usual then ) Also live in Labour stronghold. And, locally speaking, I like it.

 

[chilango]

My little daughter amused me highly by shouting for me to vote again "again! Again!" She was almost chanting as we left. Vote early, vote often, eh?

 

[wiskey]

green & green

 

[goldenecitrone]

How many people will dare to say they voted UKIP, anybody?

 

[quiquaquo]

Polling station had a Union Flag Mini parked outside, UKIP at the door and BNP style boneheads at the desk. Pissed me off so bad ending up voting Socialist Party of Great Britain which wasn't my original intention.

 

[goldenecitrone]

I wonder how many votes the An Independence From Europe party will get from confused UKIPers.

 

[Teaboy]

I wonder how many votes the An Independence From Europe party will get from confused UKIPers.

Well that's kind of the point and why its called An Independence rather then just Independence.

 

[brogdale]

I wonder how many votes the An Independence From Europe party will get from confused UKIPers.

The consensus of election experts that I contacted yesterday reckoned that simply by being top of the ballot and having “UK Independence” in their description (see picture) could give it a vote share of 2% or more which, if YouGov’s final poll is right will be enough to swing the result.

Back in 2004 in a SW Euro seat a candidate calling himself a “Literal Democrat” appeared on the ballot above the Liberal Democrat candidate. The former picked up nearly 5% of the vote which was several times more than the losing margin. The Lib Dems tried to get the result over-turned in the High Court but lost.

How much does it cost to stand as a candidate in the Euro's? We could have had a PD candidate.

Couldn't even afford to get a couple of joke posters done and put up. There's a legalise cannabis geezer on the ballot. Even he has got it together more than PD. Oh right, there's two of them, Ming is on there as well.

I'm going later to vote Labour, as alluded to in previous threads I enjoy voting, so delightfully parochial & low tech & a nice day for it in Essex as well.

If you vote you're giving them a percentage of a higher turnout.

and if you spoil.

Green in both.

The polling station is in a mobile library in a school car park. A Lib Dem canvasser was standing around outside: I resisted the temptation to point out that he's got a nerve standing outside a mobile library that's probably going to be withdrawn because of cuts imposed by a part-Lib Dem government. The ballot box was a strange portable thing like a big square rucksack. 'You'll have to fold the paper to get it in,' the clerk advised me. 'It's a bit of a tight hole.' I couldn't resist saying, 'As the bishop said to the actress.'

I didn't vote as I am not on the electoral roll

Labour for both.

The list of loony right wing racist parties for the euro elections was depressingly long
