I moved in with my Girlfriend who lives in the Warrington South ward earlier this year and it is a marginal seat. Labour Majority of around 2,000 votes. It feels empowering to cast a vote that carries weight having lived in a safe seat my whole life
Vote Labour
Vote Labour
I can't get the idea that he looks like a cross between David Brent, Alan Sugar and Jon Culshaw out of my head.
He's done sweet FA as our MP and his literature was just anti-Corbyn smears. He also hasn't knocked on many doors from what local people are saying on Facebook pages. Labour have visited me twice in the past 24 hours in comparison.
That red telephone has a lot to answer for if Boris gets a majority
Subtle girlfriend brag.
No, but they rely on government services and (almost) all of those people will work at some point in their lives.
Also, if it were a regular thing and loads of contractors started working reduced hours because of tax implications, clients would have no choice but to hire secondary contractors. I'd say that's a positive thing for distribution of employment and wealth.

Are you THE Red Mist??
Which one would that be?
good luck to all you UK folks!
Well yeah but that's not for those worried about the 80k band and considering pension contributions it's fairly high.
I wouldn't really argue with the principle of what you're saying but that's there irrespective of the changes. I'd even say that's there irrespective of the tax system, the value of money is somewhat subjective the more you earn the less you need.
Still the money you could have earned and passed up doesn't evaporate in to thin air.
I've voted now, tactical vote from me.
Thought there was a queue, then realised just loads of parents standing in the rain as kids nativity play about to start in the church next to the station, stood in the queue for a minute then slunk off to vote

Hopefully he will be out of a job in the morning!
there are lots of jobs that you can’t substitute someone in for a few days. Anyway, we have done this to death.
Why. Do think that he will become PM?
Despite the result, voter turnout should be higher than the previous elections. I know so far there's a lot of anecdotal evidence but there a multiple reports of long queues up and down the country.
I predicted The Tories to get a majority of around 20-30 but it might be closer than that. Perhaps even a single figure. If The Tories end up losing seats then that will be a shock.

No, Johnson will be, but the tooth fairy may be a better choice than both of them.
So he should. Incompetent git.
Good to see that you still have a good sense of humour. Those of us in the UK are going to need one as well.
Pounds dropping a fair bit, must be worried about a hung parliament.
What are people's plans to cope with the huge Tory majority?
I bet on them a while back with money i usually donate so profits will be going to a local kids charity at least. Apart from that I'll probably just call a lot of people on here cnuts and then cry into my cereal.

It's been a while since I have been on here but I remember spending the 2015 election on here before I buggered off to twitter
Why not postal voting. So much easier.
I think you may be right whoever wins.
High turnout usually doesn't bode well for the conservative types.
Not me I'm afraid. Superheroes aren't really my thing.
You need to pour a few more skill points in Perception, Lone Wanderer.
And please I can't stress this enough but take a bloody pen before you vote. Don't trust the pencil.
Drink
Shame.
I wish that was possible, and that I could explore, but alas I was destined to remain in the safety of the Vault.
...If you were an MP I'd vote for you on that reference alone
That's exactly what a superhero would say!
Can get 1.47 on a Tory majority now on betfair - up from 1.34 earlier this morning, so odds definitely drifting.
No but I'm really trying not get my hopes up as the nauseating disappointment will be even worse.
Not convinced that will be the case today.
I well remember being at BAE Warton in the late 70's working on Tornado. It was fun doing full reheat engine ground runs out over the Ribble at night. Maximum noise...
Always upset the residents of Southport and the phone calls started immediately.
Ergh - there's so many conflicting reports.
In truth, nobody knows what's going on. I am preparing myself for the worst though, and have a bottle of Haig Club ready to frown sorrows in at 10:01.
Can anyone offer anything to hold on hope for?

Many thanks. We are going to need more than luck I am afraid.
