2014 Elections: Urban Exit Poll

[killer b]

Really? Why didn't anyone justify voting Green in the Euros yet then?

I did.

 

[muscovyduck]

Most channels, just avoid BBC1 after 11.35pm

No tv and limited Internet. Ideally looking for a twitrer account or a forum thread somewhere, unless there's one on urban I've missed?

 

[butchersapron]

So they count the votes tonight, where do I go that isn't a tv channel for coverage?

Not being counted till sunday in the euros - 66 local councils counting tonight though - about 1/3 of the total. That's about it for tonight.

 

[SpineyNorman]

Dare say there'll be a thread on here when it comes out (or we might even use this one)

Do you know which locals come out tonight butchersapron ? Is Sheffield one of them?

 

[Puddy_Tat]

Voted green in the euros - the only left party in SE constituency is SPGB.

I have some misgivings about the greens - their record in Brighton is less than impressive. On the other hand, the idea of them beating the lib dems made it seem worthwhile, and I think it's worth voting for something that's (in some respects at least) left-ish.

Voted labour in the locals - complete wasted vote, but it was just them, ukip, tories, lib dem. I have a fair amount of time for the lib dem (incumbent ward councillor in what's a terminally tory borough) as a local councillor, but really couldn't bring myself to vote lib dem. This might let another tory in which won't make that much difference overall. And as I've said before, I fear that drawing a cock on the paper might be counted as a tory vote...

Don't know i'm afraid.

5Live and Radio 4 are doing a joint through the night show if that helps any.

Sheffield doesn't start till tomorrow - first results expected around 11

 

[Favelado]

I think I'm entitled to vote here in the Euros on Sunday. If I can, I'll be voting for Izquierda Unida.

Oh my sides.

 

[FiFi]

I voted for the TUSC in the locals and Green in the Euro election.
For 1 nasty moment I contemplated voting Labour, until I remembered their recent record on the NHS

 

[kebabking]

LibDem in the Euro's, because i fancied giving Citizen Smith an aneurysm.

i rather think the reason that the Urban thought police hate the LibDem's so much is because they secretly voted for them in 2010, but in their arrogance didn't actually read the manifesto, or indeed listen to anything they'd said for the two years previous to the election...

mung beans and sandals eh comrade?

'Thought police'? Seriously?

I hate them because they are enablers of destructive shite. Amongst much else. Stop being a div

Dutch exit polls give a major fall in support to eurosceptic party.

I take it you didn't read the politics forums in the run up to the 2010 election then?

Stop pretending - he knows we all voted Lib Dem. The game's up

I openly voted for them. Which is precisely why I want to see them crushed this time round.

 

[killer b]

A lot of people did vote lib dem on urban - they were the biggest party in the exit polls for the general election.

However, I suspect not many of them were politics regulars.

Exactly. The Thought Police definitely didn't vote for them

 

[killer b]

we remained pure, and voted for the spunking cock & balls party.

Even though we didn't know what they'd do about fishing quotas. We were so young, so foolish

 

[goldenecitrone]

It's heartening to see that hardly anyone on urban was daft enough or xenophobic enough to vote for the UKIP twats.

Uncanny.

 

[redsquirrel]

I opt for a postal vote as I usually draw something on them. Here's this election's efforts. I'm no artist, I know, but I still think I've improved my ballot not spoiled it

That is brilliant.

TUSC in locals, NO2EU in Euros

I wonder what category this will come under for rejection. I suspect it would be 'Void for Uncertainty' - even tho there is no uncertainty invovled. Doesn't fit the other categories tho

Displaying exactly the kind of illogicality and lack of capacity for independent thought you'd expect from someone whose go-to anti-left trope is some pathetic 30-years-old reference to vegan food and footwear.

You accuse the LibDem haters amongst us of being 'thought police', yet in the same post call them arrogant and stupid for thinking something you've told us they think.

Personally, I've never voted LibDem. I hate them because they're unprincipled Tory-facilitating scum pretending to be the decent face of the most vicious government in my (longish) memory. I don't need to police your thoughts to know that I think you're an idiot for voting for them

NB I realise the same could be said of me for voting Labour until they rediscover some backbone and principles of their own. I do so locally because options are limited, I avoid doing so nationally if possible.
