Nobody to vote for. Why would I vote for someone who has no intention of representing me? Infact they'd be the opposite to representing me.

Apoodle dressed as a Star Wars character and a golden retriever with her own photo ID have joined an election tradition as dogs gathered at polling stations across the UK on Thursday.

The hashtag #dogsatpollingstations has become a highlight of election days for many animal lovers on social media, as people share photos of themselves exercising their pets and democratic rights at the same time.

This year’s local elections are the first major electoral test for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak, but they also fall on May 4 – also known as Star Wars Day – which inspired Helen Jakes to mark the occasion with her canine companion in costume.

The 31-year-old dressed up as Princess Leia and had her poodle cross Pekoe don an Ewok outfit for their trip to a polling station in Batley, West Yorkshire.

“I’ve always been a big fan of Star Wars and General Leia, who would definitely exercise her right to vote, so the stars just aligned,” Ms Jakes, who works in communications, told the PA news agency.

Among others sharing tweets for the trending hashtag were those reminding voters to bring photo identification as this is the first election where ID is compulsory.

I wonder what the turnout will be?

It's been the usual it seems in my area but then that's pretty low in recent years anyhow.

MTVN 04-05-2023 04:11 PM

I have just been but felt very uninformed as I've had no election material and can't find anything online for the candidates

GoldHeart 04-05-2023 04:16 PM

Might seem bad ...but I didn't bother to vote :shrug:

You're likely very near the mark there.

MTVN 04-05-2023 04:32 PM

I did not vote conservative for the first time in an election since 2015 (when I voted Lib Dem because I thought they deserved some recognition for being unselfish in the coalition and I knew their vote was going to collapse)
