Not really, but definitely loads of obvious first time voters, who it has to be explained to. 37 minutes ago, Lemondropkid said: Just got back from voting, have never seen it so quiet. Mind you the polling station had been moved 10 mins walk further away. Forecast heavy rain today, turnout will be lower than last time would be my bet Certainly not going by here, it's unprecedented how busy we are, massive queues.

At the local elections I was approached by a gent, who had what I can only describe in non medical terms as 'shakey hands'; he wanted me to mark his ballot paper for him, which as presiding officer I am allowed to do. I accompanied him to the polling booth and he then asked, who is the best to vote for? I was somewhat suspicious and I had previously asked one of the clerks look on and monitor things. I replied, 'I'm sorry sir, I can not advise you at all on that.' He then said he wanted to vote labour. I marked his ballot paper as requested and showed it to him. I then asked him if he was happy and would he like me to put the ballot paper into the ballot box. He replied 'Yes, please.' He may have been genuine but I wondered with his opening question whether it was some sort of sting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Krapow Posted December 12, 2019 Share Posted December 12, 2019 (edited) Labour needs to get back to being a more centrist party so people like myself will vote for them again, and have a chance of getting elected. That said, unbelievably busy in our polling station. I predict huge turnout. On way home, long, long day.

Turnover was even lower than I was expecting- to be honest more clued up people had told me(which is virtually everyone, when it comes to politics). Cheltenham today, off to buy a Racing Post. Looking forward to investing in a contest with more intelligent participants😎🏇🏇🏇 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
