General Election 2015 - chat, predictions, results and post election discussion

Not looking forward to all the promises that will be made to try to win votes which may be tossed out in a moment when a coalition deal needs to be made to gain power.
 
Will be booking the Thursday off, and I don't work Fridays. We'll be on our way to a festival in Oxfordshire starting on the Friday. Watching election with Oxford friends most of Thursday night. Irrespective of outcome, at least we'll be in a festival with beertent, bands and stuff straight afterwards! :)
 
For those who like to gamble, ready for Thursday's "William G. Stewart" debate, here's Ladbrokes' odds...

No-one's going to say 'We're all in this together' now are they? Unless they're taking the piss
 
Every vermin on the media in the last 24 hours has also used the term "chaos" to describe the upshot of a Miliband victory. Cameron will clearly be deploying that a great deal.

e2a : Ladbrokes have it a "competence not chaos":facepalm:

Ironic, given the coalition's attempt at running a government has been the very epitome of chaos.
 
I used to like elections when I was an active member of one of the parties in the days when you could tell them apart. I "attended the count" many times. After weeks of trudging the streets it was a high point but you knew that that the whole thing would be repeated the following year for the local elections. I wasted 18 years of my life trying to get rid of Thatcher. When Blair came to the throne I gave up in despair.

I stopped enjoying GE's around the early 90s. This is the first one since then I've been involved in, and as a candidate for first time ever! So the GE is currently ruling my life, but I've already met a few people who will probably be life long friends as a result! And I've learnt so much that I think I might decide to be an agent next time rather than actually stand!

Turns out I enjoy running a campaign more than actually being the main focus of a campaign!

So I have the week of the election completely off work and every evening between now and then will involve a few hours of doing something campaigning related; I'll be at the count and Friday will be for going round my friends house to celebrate my return to normal life, and depending on the result, drowning my sorrows too!
 
Hi, Auntistella, you have made me curious. Please pm me some more details. If you turn out to be a lib dem or other form of Tory I won't reply. Raving Loony will get my support though.
 
Labour candidate's leaflet today. Personally addressed to me, he boasts about (amongst other less unsavoury activities) removing travellers from a local park :(.

No new posters or signs to add to my map.
 
No evidence of campaigning here yet, hope it stays that way.
However if I am approached I may enter into debate as I have a few things to say to those that will rule us!

Only 3 hustings debates been organised in this constituency, all organised by churches, still may go as our brides maid lost her youngest son to mitochondrial disease, sort of thing they will be asking questions about I imagine., (and I presume they will be vocally against the proposed research)
