Probably a good time...

[jaxie]

It's probably a good time to say, whatever your politics, good luck tomorrow with your choice of evils! :wavey:

Friday will be just another day, the world won't have changed that much and a cheese sandwich will still taste like a cheese sandwich!

[Niamh.]

Luckily for me I don't have to vote in this blood bath :fan: I'm just going to be glad it's over tbh but I am dreading the gloating threads from whichever side is victorious

[Northern Monkey]

Yeah good luck with ya favs!!
I'm still struggling with my conscience tbh.


And Friday WILL NOT be just another day!It will be eviction night :cheer2:

[King Gizzard]

Your vote counts.
Doesn't matter who gets in, you done your best for whoever you vote for.
You never know, your candidate might get in.
My vote has gone off, I am not expecting a good result here this time around, but I have to keep the faith.:laugh:

Very true. I forget how close the vote was during the 2015 GE between Labour/Tory, but the campaigning from the politicians and repoorting from the media has just been a bit of a ****fest :p

Make sure you truly understand what you are actually voting for. Don't vote based on headlines or catchphrases, make your decision based on which party's policies speak to you more.

I'm working on Friday so can't stay up and watch the results unfold, normally love that regardless of the outcome :(

Or simply vote for your current MP because they are doing a good job and have good values. Whoever gets in your MP has a vote that counts in their party. Don't be afraid to ask where they stand on things that matter to you.

Me too. Brexit was amazing, they thought it was all over for leave after exit polls.

Good luck all

Whatever happens tomorrow, we can't take away the fantastic campaign from the Labour party. If nothing else, Corbyn has moved politics away from two parties that were very similar (Tories and New Labour). There are now, at last, two clear distinctions between the Conservative and Labour party. If there has been a campaign winner it is Labour and I'm very happy about that.

[Locke.]

Yes, good luck tomorrow to all Labour voters, may we reign victorious

I wholeheartedly agree. I still anticipate the result to be a disaster, but I've been very impressed with the way both Corbyn and Labour have conducted this campaign. I may have voted for him on two occasions, but even I had doubts about his leadership capabilities going into this election, and he's quelled all of those regardless of the result.

I expect the party to descend into another unnecessary civil war and more than anything else I hope the left prevail. This campaign and consistent polling have proven that these policies are popular (I think electoral victories are largely won in terms of 'leadership', so it won't be a rejection of them), and have - I sincerely hope - engaged more (young) people in politics than ever before. Certainly for me I'm most excited about casting a vote for a party that finally stands for what I believe in. Having two distinct parties on completely different ideological platforms is great for democracy, I will never understand the opposition.

Quite simply, I have absolutely no desire for a return to the wishy-washy, neoliberal nonsense of centrism. If people want to vote for austerity, if they want to vote for the dismantling of public services, for the deaths of disabled people, then they can do so. Having an opposition party which is in fact Tory-lite does nobody any good. I'm sure most people realise by now that I am in total despair at what is looming, and that I don't have much hope. But I do for the future. It may take twenty years, but I do think after a generational shift, and another decade of the Conservatives tearing this country apart, that people will wake up. The effects of austerity have to trickle down to the 'I'm alright Jack' brigade eventually, and maybe then turkeys will stop voting for Christmas. It will not happen overnight, the future is bleak, the battle is going to bitter and nasty, but I know one day we'll be proven right. It's just a waiting game - the question of course is just how bad are things going to get before we get there? A terrifying prospect.

[AnnieK]

I actually think thinge will be pretty close in a lot of seats. Whatever happens there will be some happy and some pretty mad voters. Will be glad when it's over to be honest

I agree.
I am madly excited for tomorrow night, but I think we are in for a few shocks.

[jaxie]

Thanks for the little party political broadcast for Labour (again) above, now let's keep it out of this thread. Thanks.

[Northern Monkey]

Whatever will be will be.I'm more excited for eviction night

[Lee.]

I'm just gutted that witch called an election on the day I'm moving house! I usually like to sit up all night and watch the results but I won't be able to as we'll have an early start! :fist:

Indeed. We finally have a Labour party thats actually left wing.


Tories will win tomorrow. No doubt about it. But Corbyn has proved that hes not actually as weak as the MPs who threw the dummies out of the pram thought he was anyway, and he has cut Mays lead significantly. She would not have called this election if she didn't think it would be a landslide in her favour...the arrogance was pretty misplaced I think and she has ran the most negative campaign I have ever witnessed. But with the whole Brexit thing...she would have had to take a dump on the queens face to lose completely tbh, and even if she did that I am not totally sure she could have ever lost :laugh:

Long may an actual left wing Labour party continue.

But yes, congrats to Tory voting members. I don't really think any 'luck' is necessary here lol

[King Gizzard]

Yeah, the fact the Tories and Murdoch have had to resort to smears and character assassinations (and still failed) shows they were scared and we ran them close, even if there does end up being Tory gains

I'm not even a big Labour man either I just hate the Tories and everything they stand for with every sinew of my body

I'm preparing for the worst so I'm not too disappointed on Friday morning :)

I agree; a Conservative win (of some description) has always been inevitable but what this campaign and a lot of the discussion around it has done for me, at least, is show that there is a very real possibility of a Labour (probably a Labour coalition of some description) win in 5 years' time whereas a couple of months ago, all I could see was Tories Tories Tories stretching endlessly into the future. The Cons must be pretty miffed to be honest... I mean, they have been expecting to absolutely steamroll Labour, but even if they do tomorrow, it's not been as cut and dry throughout the campaign as they expected at all. And let's be honest, the Labour party HAS been a mess recently, yet they've still pulled together a strong campaign.

If / when they actually get their **** together internally, they'll be in a very strong position.

I of course will be voting SNP tomorrow even though I'm edging away from independence currently being the best option. They are the only real option for protecting Scottish interests, regardless of independence. But I'd be much more comfortable having Scotland under the SNP work alongside England under Labour, than the constant ideological wrestling match that we have Vs the Tories.

[Kizzy]

I just can't contemplate a tory win, it will be the end of democracy as we know it.

[DemolitionRed]

I've never known an election campaign that's stirred up such emotion. There's an energy like I've never seen. The internet has been a blessing for anyone who wanted to question the smear campaign by the right wing media against Corbyn but he swam through the vomit and came out smelling of roses!. Right now he has to be the most popular MP in Britain and that's not going to go away any time soon. He makes me so proud to be British.

I'll be praying for a miracle tomorrow but I will gracefully accept a loss if it happens. Jack, I got so down after the last election results; so much so it made me physically ill. I'm not going to do that this time because Corbyn needs us to keep fighting the good fight. You're a clever guy so keep talking to people, keep spreading your political knowledge because this is just the beginning, not the end. :hug:

[Alf]

And remember to take the result on the chin and respect the result, that's democracy. And no need for the people that voted for the elected to gloat, because there's nothing to gloat about.

It was a pretty daft thing to say with all the information out there about his terrorist sympathising. He is a pretty dodgy character to be running for PM and I am entitled to express my opinion too without being accused of trolling.

You always resort to shutdown tactics - weak and predictable. :nono:

[bots]

I've been through a lot of elections now, and they are always passionately fought, but I've never seen one with the number of twists and turns that this one has taken.

Of all those who have so passionately argued their position, I wonder how many were undecided in their stance before the campaign and have now chosen, how many have swung from one side to another ....

My feeling is very few .... have a good trouble free day tomorrow

[Toy Soldier]

I saw a post I agreed with and made a point I'd been intending to at some point anyway. I'll post what I want, where I want. Thanks.

Indeed you can and should do so Jack_.
I agreed with all you said in your other post too.

Normally I am one who wishes best of luck in elections to all but I don't care as to the criticism I may get from some for what I say now.

Please everyone who can,use your vote today, for me the result should matter less as I head off from the UK soon but I still care deeply about the present UK and particularly those seen as the weakest in it.

Any result today that gives a victory to the Conservatives more than only a few seats more than they got in 2015,in my view will be a disaster leaving Friday nothing like just another day.

My utter dismay and despair with UK politics now has reached heights I never believed it would be possible to.
Most govts elected turn out to be at least just in their actions overall.
Not this one over the last 7 years, and a greater majority for it will be the worst possible outcome.

So I hope just possibly those voting today will think and vote for hope over fear,more than they chose to in 2015 especially in this totally unnecessary election.
I say good luck to all those wishing to do that and who make the effort to go and vote for hope over fear.

This is not a post resembling just a Labour Party political broadcast,what it is, is a post against what is the most heartless cruel present govt.
With a tiny hope that voters will deliver a kick to said govt today.

Really good luck to those going out to vote with that aim.
