I have always voted and always will - I value my right to vote very highly. However, I'm glad that don't have an Australian style system which makes it illegal NOT to vote. How many would vote for the "wrong" party just because were forced to vote anyway? Not everyone is that bothered about politics. (Which is fine until it starts to affect your life or those around you).

Having said that, I get irritated by people who blame the government for everything that goes wrong in their lives.

I'm going for a Con Majority of 5-10
(but, on that basis, hoping for a hung parliament)

Too Much Water
Should have said my prediction is meant to be flippant but as I may as well go with it although I feel it is rather toppy. Perhaps someone can keep a tally of these in the sidebar (I only use mobile so cant do it myself), and the closest person donates £10 to the fetch server?

This thread keeps mr fetch busy I expect

No queues in Guildford.

Tories to be biggest party but no majority. ideally Johnson loses his seat. massive bun fight follows. all three major parties could do with new leaders. hopefully Hartlepool will kick Farage where the deposit hurts.

Cue - another election in June.

Happy - she doesn't care about politics, so she doesn't vote. I suspect (given low turnout amongst the young), that she isn't the only youngster with this same attitude.

Name-calling will be called out, and Ad hominem will be frowned upon. :-) And whatabout-ery sits somewhere above responding to tone and below contradiction.
