Are you voting today?

[Jack_]

Mainly trying to gauge if there's many first time voters tbh

[Niamh.]

Obviously I'm not British so no but I'm a big believer in using your vote and always do so here and when my kids are old enough I'll be kicking their asses to the polling stations too :hee:

[Brillopad]

What those first time voters so many are 'encouraging' to vote Labour out of desperation. All those young, naive voters to rack up those votes. Nice move. If the need is there then to hell with making informed choices - just tick the ****dy box!

[jaxie]

Quite a lot of women starved themselves, did jail time and made a general nuisance of themselves so I could vote and have equality with a man. I feel I have to honour them for voting for someone, even though I struggle to find someone to vote for.

Yes, that's my train of thought too

[Daniel-X]

I would vote if I was old enough, but sadly not.

[bots]

i live in a safe seat, so my vote really isn't important, but as a matter of principle I voted.

[Daniel-X]

I would vote if I was old enough, but sadly not.

I live in a safe seat also, but I would've voted Labour regardless even though they'll always win here.

[Beso]

No...out and about in east london atm fixing tvs..passed 4 polling stations all with no security at the door..so no. I will pass.

[jaxie]

No...out and about in east london atm fixing tvs..past 4 polling stations all with no security at the door..so no. I will pass.

I hate to say this because it doesn't bear thinking about but I did wonder about security today myself. It won't stop me going to a polling station but with all the attacks lately you do wonder if today might be a target.

I think it will be a passing thought in the minds of many but of course we still have to vote. Anything else would be playing into the terrorists' hands and I would never give them that satisfaction.

[Legend killer]

Voted Labour and was honestly the easiest choice I have made in a long time. How anyone can vote for a woman who would not debate policy's head to head with her main opposition is beyond me

[King Gizzard]

Voted about an hour ago, station was full of old people, hoping that's just because of college/work.

[Drew.]

Yeah, first time

[Brillopad]

Voted about an hour ago, station was full of old people, hoping that's just because of college/work.

Or beds.

Or beds.

Such a lovely stereotype

Get a ****ing grip, I'm merely interested in whether this campaign has inspired people to vote, or if they are as apathetic about this election as I still think they are. It doesn't matter who for, political engagement (especially amongst the young) should be celebrated, not denigrated.

For what it's worth, I'd put money on many young voters being generally more informed than the majority of the electorate. But hey, your disdain for the young is as clear as day so what do I care

[Black Dagger]

Aren't you funny.

I would be so sure, I've heard people say they're voting for Labour because Jeremy has the same initials as Jesus Christ.

[Jack_]

Which is of course stupid, but no more stupid than people voting for someone cause they've bought into empty messages about 'strong and stable' leadership

The majority of the electorate - regardless of who they vote for - is uninformed, I don't know why people ever contest this point. There are certainly those I disagree with on the right whose opinions are formed through reading and researching too, I wouldn't try to suggest otherwise. My point was that I'd be willing to bet a large percentage of young people who do tend to vote are more politically engaged than the majority of the electorate. There's not many reasons for young people to get involved in politics, so when they do they must be doing something right. I'm making this point neutrally btw but as an aside, Labour tend to lead among the university educated, so :whistle:

[caprimint]

Nope, I share Lotan's views on politics

[Loukas]

#JezWeCan

[Nicky91]

Duh i can't vote from the Netherlands, and i don't care about politics anyway :hehe:

[Tom4784]

Voted for Labour this morning :thumbs:

[Brother Leon]

Unfortunately I've moved to a Safe Conservative seat. I still did with the most pride today though.

[Beso]

Tessy May thanks you for your patriotism.

And jeremy thanks you for your crustinrss....( report that as well if you want)

[user104658]

And jeremy thanks you for your crustinrss....( report that as well if you want)My crstrnrss?

I'm not a labour voter. Wee Nic thanks me for being her eye candy :hee:

I feel like you need to cool it with the reporting accusations Parm. I've never reported you :shrug:.

[Glenn.]

Just got back. I actually voted Labour and I swear to god if I don't four new bank holidays I'm going to kill someone. Probably jona

[Nicky91]

Corbyn is actually worse than Trump :mad:

[Lostie!]

Voted this morning. Pretty sure the result will be awful but I can at least secure my right to moan about it :spin:

[Jack_]

whaaa? What happened?

[Black Dagger]

Corbyn is actually worse than Trump :mad:

You just said you dont follow politics ffs go away. Clueless

[UserSince2005]

Conservatives got my vote earlier.
Showing I am a proud success man of this world.

[UserSince2005]

if labour win, ill quit my job and go on benefits :p
If you cant beat them, join them

[Glenn.]

whaaa? What happened?

I've experienced at week in an NHS hospital this week. It would be criminal neglect to put it at risk.

[Tom4784]

Glenn seeing the light and joining the side of Good :clap1:

The NHS is THE issue that people should care about this election, it simply will not survive under continued Tory leadership and it'll die even quicker if Jeremy Hunt keeps his position.

[Black Dagger]

if labour win, ill quit my job and go on benefits :p
If you cant beat them, join them

Yet there are plenty who are forced to be on benefits even when they are in a tory government x

[LukeB]

I voted for labour and i used a pen for it too. Does anyone else does that?

[Nicky91]

You just said you dont follow politics ffs go away. Clueless

i know something about politics but it just doesn't interest me that much because of clowns like Trump and Corbyn


sorry Luke if you are reading this with a clown word in it :(

[Niamh.]

Corbyn is actually worse than Trump :mad:

What are you on about, you love Trump :laugh:


Trump tweeting about Qatar and causing problems in the middle east.....I doubt Jeremy Corbyn is worse tbh

[Jack_]

I've experienced at week in an NHS hospital this week. It would be criminal neglect to put it at risk.

This is really positive to hear, I doubt it'll change the result but the more people realise just what's going on in the NHS the better

[smudgie]

Yes, voted last week.(postal vote).

[Rob!]

Corbyn is actually worse than Trump :mad:

Nicky you don't understand British politics, you've just said that. So stop.

[Rob!]

If anything, the frequent attacks should be enough to persuade people that the NHS needs a party that actually wants to support it. Picture another attack in about 5 years when the Tories are finished with it and how little help the victims will have to struggle with.

[Amy Jade]

Yes for the first time, for Labour.

[Daniel.]

Yes for UKIP

[Daniel.]

Joking I voted Jezza, it better be worth it

[AnnieK]

Voted first thing this morning before work. Polling station was empty - but it was just after 7am

[Denver]

Going in the next hour to vote Tories.

In my area Tories are expected to gain 6 seats while labour lose 6

[Brother Leon]

Little sister voting for her first time as she's 18. She wa so excited and happy, I couldn't help but think "Oh, you are in for so many disappointments" :laugh:.

[Josy]

Voted before work this morning, polling station was empty, I always vote.

[Josy]

Although there was a po po car outside....

[Cherie]

No...out and about in east london atm fixing tvs..passed 4 polling stations all with no security at the door..so no. I will pass.

letting terrorism get in the way of democracy :nono:

[Anaesthesia]

Voted, as I do in all elections.

[Jack_]

Just voted and am outside my polling station and they're queuing outside the door, I've participated in five elections and never seen anything like this. Usually straight in and out :think:

A couple of young people but by and large all 30+ in a Tory safe seat so not sure it says much

[Locke.]

I've never cared enough to vote before but Corbyn has inspired loyalty and got me interested in politics for the first time, so first time voter for Corbs

[DemolitionRed]

Just been to vote... Labour obviously!

[Anaesthesia]

I've never cared enough to vote before but Corbyn has inspired loyalty and got me interested in politics for the first time, so first time voter for Corbs

Really good to see that.

[zakman440]

[Denver]

We're talking about political parties here though, not my erections.
