Does that mean that by default, for not bothering you, your vote goes to the Tories?

Re: Happy voting, folks!

This is one of the most crucial elections in years and I am surprised at the seemingly lack of interest on the various forums I look into. We went to the polling station early and were met by a sole SNP rep at the door. We gave him a wide berth and put our crosses in the usual place.

Re: Happy voting, folks!

I haven't had any leaflets or callers either,the only folk at the polling station were 2 women taking details. I have a question though, seeing as we don't need to show our polling card and only need to give our name and address, what would stop anyone else who knew us trying to vote using our information if they thought we weren't voting?

Tories need another 22 to win. If not, does that mean a Coalition with Labour?! Oh please no!!!!

Re: Happy voting, folks!

What? All that whinging about Cameron and the Tories yet our news is now reporting that it is possible that he might have the numbers to form a government in his own right.

Obviously the over50 forum doesn't represent the real Britain??? Ukip fizzed, spluttered and went out, while the Scottish Nationalists own Scotland (how soon before Independence?)

Interesting.

Re: Happy voting, folks!

56 seats for the SNP...WOW!...fantastic..Scotland has spoken, and it seems the English Electorate were as disenchanted with Labour as We Scots,so Cameron is now solely in charge :~(...but it's onwards and upwards for Scotland..the SNP MPs will have Their work cut out for Them in Westminster,but time will tell ;~)
