The first GE I voted in was 1979 that brought Maggie T to power. My girlfriend at the time was a fiery short tempered redhead who would have regarded even the most left wing of urbs as wishy washy liberals.
We watched Maggie's campaign on the telly at her parents house and she was screaming abuse at the telly.

I have voted at every election that was eligible for if I was in England at the time. And not once has my vote elected anybody or won a referendum. I lived in hard-core labour areas for most of my life, I vote green and I voted yes for AV and no for Brexit. I have never elected anything - 60 years old.

Just been. Can report about twenty people in the queue and two dogs outside.

Not a Girly Swot, but I like them....
Dunno if you've seen it, bit the MRP polls are talking about a switch - it was always N Herefordshire that was going to go green, but now they're talking about West Worcestershire.
WW was always a bit green, but it seems weird.

I suppose they could. Just checked my own council. They just have a link to the site I posted.

Wrong specs on, read that as now the twat. If the polls are right, yeah, a twat and son of a toolmaker.

Neither have I to be honest, I've always lived in safe Labour areas or safe Tory ones up until now, currently I live in Derbyshire Dales (Tory - Sarah Dines) apparently Labour have a 65% chance of taking it so maybe this will be the first time my vote will make a difference.

The one poll I have seen for Starmer personally showed Feinstein bumping along on just about keeping his deposit territory. I expect Starmer's personal vote will go up this time, people like to be on the winning side and bar personal involvement by the Almighty, Sir Keir the Beige will be PM before this time tomorrow.

My son and our soon-to-be daughter-in-law have dropped round, they voted after Son picked her up from work and the polling station was heaving apparently. Pollyanna was still wearing her nurse's uniform so she felt obliged to scowl at the Tory teller outside the polling station. Pollyanna is far too good a person and far too pretty to be an effective scowler but I told her it was the thought that counts.

Just voted. Fussed two Maltese dogs outside. Ladies in the polling station said it's been steady, a good turnout.

The candidate (Ellie Chowns) is quite a well liked local councillor. There's green signs everywhere, including outside farms (the incumbent Tory has a farm and its a pretty rural county), so for farmers to come out for green is kind of shocking (in a good way).

Finished earlier at my cat volunteering place. Swung by home to pick up Mrs Voltz and we then both performed our civic duty
Now we sit and wait
Anything but a Tory and I'll be "happy". Most likely a Lib Dem - it's a start

so defeated, thinks it's funny
Never mind revoking support, we want our bloody honeymoon gift back now!
Have also voted (Green), think this is the second time I've actually voted rather than spoilt my ballot, definitely the first time in a long while. The weather was fine all day but absolutely pissed it down for the few minutes it took to walk to the polling station and back, clearly God does not approve of people compromising on their anarchist principles.
