Yes, to spoil your ballot paper and revolt against the lot of 'em. |

"Not the people of Britain, that's for sure."
Old guy i used to work with always said "if voting changed anything for the common man or woman, it'd be made illegal" Sometimes i think he had a point there... |

Well according to all my various social media feeds it appears that literally everyone, and I mean EVERYONE, is voting Labour!
I wonder what will have happened by the time we wake up on Friday!? |

I have a feeling on the day lots of people will think 'Um, ah, gosh y'know it really is a dilemma isn't it, I don't know WHO to vote for!'
Then tick the 'Conservative' box.

There should be another box under the others labelled 'None of the above' with a list of words that could be ticked ie..Incompetent, dishonest, hypocrite, expenses fiddler etc. This box could then be counted and the total used as an informative number instead of the 'spoiled ballot' figure which is actually meaningless as it doesn't distinguish any of the different ways the ballot paper has been spoiled. |

"Conservative
Labour
Hung Parliament and coalition?
For me Tories all day long 
HG"
I'm guessing that the Tories will win by a small margin, and need to form a coalition to create a government... if anyone will have them?
But we'll know in a couple of days.
What I do know is that I'll be glad to have a but of peace from the non-stop Corbyn Bashing that's been going on since the election was called... at least Labour fought their campaign on their policies.

Spoiled ballot papers are removed from all the others, verified as spoiled and then filed away.
No one reads them |

I'll stop at home instead then. Doesn't seem very democratic when someone who wants to say 'none of the above' isn't allowed to be heard. |

That's not true. Spoilt or 'none' papers are still counted. It's as important as voting for a candidate. |

I'm not a Lib Dem supporter I hasten to add, but the first election after them leading with the tories, their MP seats were reduced quite dramatically. I would count that as disastrous for that party. |

Get out and vote.
I think Theresa May (it's hard to say it will be the Conservatives since their own advertising has it that it's THERESA MAY and the Conservative Party - in teeny letters) will win, but she won't have anywhere near the majority she wanted.
So she will have wasted millions of tax payers money (I think it's around £10+m for every election just on the official paperwork and polling stations, without what each party then spends). Given that just about everywhere outside London had local elections a month ago, there was a referendum last year and a general election last year we've spent enough to have had a bit less austerity.
She has also wasted time that could have been spent on properly preparing for the Brexit negotiations, which start in 12 days. She could have spent time on national policy and ensuring the country got on with its business, instead of Parliament rising early and not getting through the legislation scheduled to be considered.
Her hubris will cost her.
But still get out and vote. If you want her then do your bit. Don't kvetch if you don't vote and you don't get your flavour of politician.

That's the thing about the social media... you'll only see what you're already thinking.

The election that led to the coalition was the last time there was no clear majority. I'm still unsure how that was a disaster for the Lib Dems as they were in government with the tories. The election after was, but I think as a result of people not realising the stabilising influence the Lib Dems had. |

The NHS is fucked with the Tories. Schools are fucked with the Tories.
The low earners and poorest are fucked with the Tories.
You get my drift?
But they'll probably win  |

That's ok, there's not enough law enforcement to deal with major crime, let alone some moron from stoke scribbling none of the above. |

No I said the first election after the coalition. They lost 49 seats. Nick Clegg called it a cruel and punishing night. Aka disastrous! They were shown up to be weak compared to the tories. |

A politician that can't get elected can't do shit, they have to appeal to the masses regardless of what they (as a Politician) actually THINKS/BELIEVES.
They have to do that. There is no second route, that is the ONLY route.
They say what they think will make you vote for them, even if what they are saying isn't even fucking true.
What they say doesn't reflect so much on what they personally think themselves... but on what they think of us and what we (as a general population) are willing to believe. |

It's fucking odd to me that when someone get's in and virtually NOTHING they said ever happens, people turn round and go:
"Oh fuck you lied! You deceived me"..then go and vote for ANOTHER politician in the next election.
My parents are both staunch and I do mean STAUNCH Tories. In the extreme. |

Course it is. It's a sales pitch. Like someone said on another thread, I'm not interested in the TV debates and not overly concerned about their manifestos, which no party are bound legally to deliver. My mind was clear from day 1 of announcement based on previous performance who I am voting for. |

NHS is a concern for me with the tories... as an example, giving birth in a private hospital costs approx £6k...
That's just the birth... Not including scans, consultancy, midwife appointments etc... If you had to pay that could you really afford to have children?
