I'm actually really embarrassed, i've left the voting bit of paper by my front door to remind me. I really believe in voting and ....

I only realised when I was on the M6 half way to a tango class that i hadn't voted

(and before anyone starts, until you've danced the tango with a babe in your arms you'll never understand how much fun it is!)

Yep, voted, but none of the above were on me ballot paper!
Except the labour loosers of course, and I didn't vote for them!

Conrod,

Would it ruin your poll by saying people may have voted for different, opposing parties in each of their (up to 3) elections (local, european, mayoral)?

I voted, but I didn't really know what was going on. I ended up voting for that party that Kilroy is representing, after all, if celebrities can't sort out European membership who can?!

(I nearly voted for the BNP because I forgot the name of Kilroy's party! Was about to cross that box when I realised they were the racist ones!)

i couldnt find a biro, and the postal vote needed a declaration of identity signing, so it didnt get done in the end. Sod it...


Peteff - 11/6/04 at 08:38 AM

They don't accept forms filled in with crayons and I'm not allowed anything sharp.


ned - 11/6/04 at 08:49 AM

couldn't vote cos since moving house the bloody council still hasn't sent through the electoral role forms

Ned.


stephen_gusterson - 11/6/04 at 09:01 AM

so you didnt know when you were tango'd?





I voted in the real election, but not this poll cos I didnt understand the options!

Ive been a labour voter since the major mistake of voting for tories in 1979. A mistake of youth.

I didnt vote labour this time, not cos of Iraq, but because of their pathetic nanny state, and the 6 points and 240 quid those tossers have cost me. Id also like to have the right to have hot water in my bathroom, and not that gov idea of taps limited to 42 degrees or whatever it was.

theconrodkid - 11/6/04 at 07:33 PM

paulf - 11/6/04 at 09:44 PM

I didnt get the chance to vote as the wife thought there was a real voting option as well, so threw the paers away with the other junk mail.Maybe that was what the goverment hoped would happen to anyone that may vote against them.

I voted Green Party


jollygreengiant - 12/6/04 at 10:43 AM

I wanted to take a leaf out of "Brewsters Millions" and Vote "None of The Above" because I don't think ANY of them were worth my support and I think that they are all in it purely for the Money AND power that they can amass whilst in office (sounds a bit like c*rr*pt**n allegations).
However that was not an option And I seriously think it should be. So that if the public think a politition/minister/PRIME MINISTER is a bit dodgy and has been dodging flak to feather his nest then WE could oust HIM/her that way.

This is my opinion and does not reflect upon Locostbuilders.co.uk web site or people associated with it in any way.

Enjoy.


Scotty - 12/6/04 at 11:09 AM

i agree
perhaps if enough people would vote that way..........
There should be an option to dismiss/fire candidates and vacancies because the people have decided they are not wanted.
if you dismissed 50% of the civil servants.................would anyone notice ?


Peteff - 12/6/04 at 11:12 AM

How can you not vote for a party whose policy is ejercashun, egercasiun, edikation. They've nearly got the country back on its feet, well we can't afford to ride anywhere so walking's the only option left . I want to know the name of their pension fund so I can raid it, sorry join it as it will be the only one in the country with any money left soon.


Scotty - 12/6/04 at 11:45 AM

grrrrr
nearest i want to get to those people, is to chase down the bird that swallowed my watch...........


stephen_gusterson - 12/6/04 at 11:48 AM

say what?


Scotty - 12/6/04 at 11:55 AM

reminded me of a chubby brown joke that did, something about 'dont flatter yourself love, thats not my ring, its me wrist watch!'
