I'm hindu and keep getting forwarded WhatsApp videos about how we all need to vote Borris to save India. Its so fecking stupid and I know so many Indians are falling for it. 4-5 WhatsApp groups have forwarded it to me, and it's all groups with distant aunts and uncles
Why will Boris save India?
They don't vote Tory so feck them
Unfortunately you are correct my friend. Depressing times. I still don't know who I'm voting for later. Anyone but Tory and Brexit Party though.
By imposing colonial rule I assume.
If you are voting labour, then unfortunately the polling stations have closed
If you are voting anyone else, then it’s 10pm!
It isn’t a game. But it is totally about winning and losing. Because if you don’t win you can’t change things. When are you lot going to realise that, and I mean really get it?
The Mauritians here were moaning that JC 'took the side of Pakistan' over Kashmir.
I agree with a lot of that.
Tbh much as I desperately don't want Johnson to win, I struggle to back JC, who has zero concept of finance and costings, hence my reluctant first ever LibDem vote.
My captain
So you are advocating to lie as much as possible and play dirty in order to get in? Is that the state of the politics you actually want to see?
How is it going to change whilst the Tories are in?
Moral high ground ends with more Tory years.
I am angry that Labour has persisted with a losing leadership way past time. This is on Labour, not me.
Eh? Are you mad? Where did I say any of that?
You've already started.
You didn't say but that's exactly how past governments ended up 'winning', where this 'winning' have taken the country?
It's certainly not going to change if all parties employ these tactics.
Yes of course those earning the highest pay the most, would you have it the other way around?
Also, the country is in an absolute state, do we keep the status quo and carry on as we are? Someone somewhere is going to have to pay more, would you rather that be the lowest income or the highest?
Good, we are on the same page more or less.
I hypothesise that in most countries with more than two parties, most young people vote for those they disagree/dislike with the least due to the lack of good political platforms. Most politicians are incompetent and inexperienced in regards to long term macroeconomic effects, practicality, long term thinking when evaluating decisions, objectivity over personal preference etc.
SO...
Is anyone else excited by Election Day? Putting everything aside (inc party loyalities), who is looking forward to the exit poll in less than 12 hours?
I usually make it to about 2/3am, get a couple of hours sleep and up about 6 for confirmation (pretty much) of the result.
Does anyone stay up through the night? Or do people just find out the result tomorrow am?

It's stupid mental gymnastics. A lot of Hindus here don't like the supposed labour stance on Kashmir and feel it's against Hindus to sympathise with the situation in Kashmir.
It's pretty admirable to take a stand against the misery these bastards have inflicted on people. I tend to be someone who just gives in to despair, and that's no help at all. Respect to you.
Top lad!
Tend to stay up until the result looks pretty clear then go to bed weeping and shouting at how much I hate this country.
It's absolutely criminal what has happened to public services in the UK, hope change is coming.
The trouble I have is Labour at local level for me is fairly good as they tend to get things done that need doing for the better of the people. The only problem I have is as the Labour ladder goes higher I don't like what I see. Personally I would find it difficult to trust Corbyn to run the country with some of the people he surrounds himself with. On the other hand I've never voted Tory but I can see why working class people are tempted to vote for them as they trust them more to deliver Brexit.
Good luck fellow Brits. Choose the future of your country wisely, you’re a truly great European nation and I hope you remain a champion in quality of life, public
Oh those poor dears..
Get these facts out of this thread. Jimmy wants a new Bentley for Christmas!Oh those poor dears..
How is disposable income above net?
Great to see people turning out to vote. Hopefully it’s a high turnout.
Always love an unsourced infographic.
Impressed by the number of young people I am seeing. Get these feckers out.
All these pictures of queues in polling stations seem to be in safe London seats unless I'm completely mistaken.
Correct my understanding but is the young vote gonna make a huge huge difference anyway seeing as it's all in labour safe zones
Well I'd guess the youth is quite spread across the UK and longer lines in many safe Labour seats could indicate higher turnout all around the country? Or Labour is just trying to find any dose of optimism they can. One thing I give them - they really are in it to win it and they don't take any "you don't stand a chance" for an answer.
