The Scribbler
Voted just before 8am and there were plenty of names ticked off ahead of me. I voted in hope, and still cling to a sense of optimism.

Votes at just after 7am. It was a busy. I actually saw three people who ran to the polling station. It was bloody cold - that's dedication for you.

There wasn't a queue at our local polling station at 7.15am, but a few people (and at least one dog dog) had already been in and it serves a small and scattered population. There will be 100% turnout from our household; FiL (81) asked several times yesterday for an assurance that we'd take him to the polling station.

Voted at 7:30. One other person in the station. No queue. The Tories were all still in bed waiting for the staff to bring them breakfast, only the staff had all been deported or voluntarily repatriated because they can. Expect a rush around lunchtime.

Both voted separately this morning in our household. Busiest polling station I've ever been to in 10 years, there were 3 of us in there.

Ian Lavery got my vote but I was slightly torn as he came out yesterday saying he would campaign for leave in a second ref. I'd vote for green in a PR system most likely unless the labour candidate was excellent.

Merry Christmas & Happy New G(rrr)
I suppose I was interested in the detail a bit DV. What "she doesn't care about politics"? Just interested really.

Seaforth docks shivering in unremitting rain driven by a sharp southerly wind at noon - not the weather to persuade the waverers out to the poll.

Happy- She doesn't understand the politics or what difference her vote will make.

And she has no interest in finding out more.

I'm guessing (she hasn't said directly, but hinted at - so this is me extrapolating), that she just doesn't think it affects her - or at least not in ways that she cares about.

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.
