Seem's like the sort of thing a certain political party would want you to think. You’re right. I have made a sweeping generalisation based on people on my social media, the things they have said and shared. I’ll own the shitness of this because it hadn’t occurred to me and I can see how stupid I was in saying it.  Also I hope I’m wrong. I don’t trust polls, but I’m so stressed about this election. I’m blessed we’re not in a position to need to use a food bank, but we have suffered with the cuts made locally to our social care and I fear with not only a Tory government but with Brexit on top, that things will get worse. No election has ever bothered me this much and it’s getting to me Edited December 8, 2019 by Hannibal Scorch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They polling from 1996? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's the first time Tory has ever appeared on one of these for me, the wife thinks her family must be having an effect on me. I have just done it now after you reminded me it exists. Not massively surprised by my results, tbh.  Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sphinx Posted December 8, 2019 Share Posted December 8, 2019 I'm out of the country until the 12th and will arrive in London, with me needing to then quickly jump on transport and travel 4 hours to get home to have a chance of getting a vote in before the deadline - and I'm supposed to be in London for the next evening too. I've not registered to vote by proxy or post because I'm a fool and it's too late now. Basically, is there a way of getting someone to pretend they're me to vote at my polling station? I can't remember the process at the polling booth, but I think you just show your polling card? It seems too simple for this to be an option but I'm hoping for this desperate measure to be a possibility. I understand it's too late for me to change polling station to one in London or else I could get my polling card sent in the post to an address in London. Thanks!

You might be okay if you didn't realise you'd have difficulty getting back in time. Call your local election office tomorrow for advice, perhaps.

Paid Members Devon Malcolm Posted December 9, 2019 Paid Members Share Posted December 9, 2019 I can just picture MPDTT sitting there retaking that quiz over and over so that there's no red or green showing on his graph for when he puts the screenshot up on here.

Moderators Chest Rockwell Posted December 9, 2019 Moderators Share Posted December 9, 2019 (edited) I thought it was hilarious how obvious the brexit party ones are as you go through the questionnaire because they are so threadbare with zero detail or specific commitment.
